Vacuum Packaging Tips
Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your VS603 can also be
used in many other areas of the house besides the kitchen.
Vacuum packaging is great for camping and outdoor activities!
▪
For a quick & reusable ice pack, fill a vacuum bag about half full with water and a
few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. Seal the bag - don’t vacuum it - and place in
the freezer. The alcohol keeps the water from freezing completely, resulting in a
flexible ice pack to wrap around sore joints and minor injuries.
▪
Vacuum package pre-made meals in advance for camping outings, for quick and
easy dinners in the great outdoors.
▪
Vacuum package meats and other items for odour- free storage.
▪
Create your own dry packs by vacuum packaging essentials like matches, dry socks
and a map for emergencies.
Around The House
▪
Organize ‘junk’ drawers and keep easy to lose items like nails and screws safe by
vacuum packaging them in a vacuum bag. That way, items are clearly visible and
organized within the bag.
▪
Don’t worry about polishing silver ever again! Simply vacuum package your rarely
used silverware in vacuum bags to prevent the oxidation that causes tarnishing.
**
Hint: place a folded paper towel in between sharp edges of the silverware and
the vacuum bag to prevent puncturing.
