Vacuum Packaging Tips
Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your Vacuum Sealer
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 scent-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 rarely
used silverware in vacuum bags to prevent the oxidation that causes
tarnishing.
**
Hint: place a folder paper towel in between sharp edges of the silverware
and the vacuum bag to prevent puncturing.
