WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A VACUUM SEALER
■
When stored in the normal manner, foodstuffs lose their flavour,
aroma and nutrients. Bacteria multiply, moulds form in these
foodstuffs, which leads to their spoilage. The vacuum sealer enables
one to create a vacuum package, and the freshness of foodstuffs can
be extended by up to 5 times compared to standard storage methods
without requiring any preservation or other chemicals. Likewise,
vacuum sealing may also shorten marinating times, which usually
take several hours, down to only 20 minutes.
■
Vacuum sealing can also be used to protect various items against
the entry of water or insects.
VACUUM SEALER BAGS AND ROLLS
■
The vacuum sealer bags and rolls supplied with this appliance consist
of two layers that provide effective protection against the entry of air
and moisture. This enables one to store foodstuffs fresher for longer.
The inner layer is from PE material. The outer layer is made from PA
material. In these vacuum sealer bags, it is possible to heat foodstuffs
in a microwave oven or boil in water.
■
Additional vacuum sealer rolls can be purchased under part number
SVX 300CL.
