ABOUT VACUUM SEALING
Your Russell Hobbs Seal Fresh Vacuum Sealer creates a storage solution for a wide range of
foods, as well as non-food items. In addition to food, it can also be used to protect your camping
supplies, create ice packs and also protect valuables from tarnishing such as jewellery.
Cooking time and food preparation is quick and easy especially when marinating meat. Marinate
in minutes! No need to marinate your bbq meats overnight, simply vacuum seal and place in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes and your marinating is done.
Vacuum sealing performs three major tasks:
1.
Removes oxygen which slows down mold and bacteria growth. This means foods can be
safely stored for longer.
2.
Creates a moisture barrier. Not only does it keep moisture in, it keeps moisture out. Basically
this protects fresh food – ie. No more ‘slimy’ meat and no more ‘freezer burn’.
3.
Vacuum sealing acts as a flavour enhancer when sealing marinated foods. As the vacuum
sealer removes the air from the bag it also opens the pores of the food, allowing marinades
to penetrate.
Consider these uses:
•
Seal leftovers and freeze for later use
•
Store nuts and seeds for longer at room temperature
•
Vacuum seal coffee beans for long term storage without fear of oxidation
•
Buy meat in bulk and portion for vacuum sealing and freezing it for later use
•
Marinate fish and poach (sous vide) in the bag for a delicious and healthy option.
•
Marinate chicken or your favourite meats and microwave in the bag, just like steam cooking.
This appliance will become an indispensable part of your life; it will allow you to keep food fresher
for longer, resulting in less food spoilage and saving money!
