FOOD STORAGE & SAFETY
IMPORTANT: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods
that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.
For best result in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package foods that are fresh. Once food
has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only slow the deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot
prevent the growth of mold. Other disease causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments
and may require further measures to be eliminated.
FOOD PREPARATION HINTS AND TIPS FOR AIR-TIGHT VACUUM SEALING
Cooking, Thawing and Reheating – Simmering in a vacuum bag helps food retain its flavor and it helps with the
clean up as well. No dirty saucepans. When reheating foods in the microwave using your vacuum bags, always
puncture open the bag to allow hot air to escape. You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by placing
them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).
IMPORTANT: Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw perishable foods at
room temperature.
