Storage
To store food safely, the following points must be observed:
▪
Food that is to be stored must be fresh and in perfect condition.
▪
The product must be already at the storage temperature before vacuum
sealing.
▪
Keep any interruptions to the cool chain as short as possible.
▪
Where possible, dry the food before vacuum sealing.
▪
Avoid mixing raw and cooked foods.
▪
Select the highest level of vacuuming possible, as given in the section: Re-
commended vacuuming levels (see page 13)
▪
Large pieces of food can be preserved for longer than smaller pieces.
▪
Store food at as low a temperature as possible.

Vacuisine ©
Vacuum-sealed food can be steamed at a low temperature in a steam cooker
using the sous-vide method. At V-ZUG, we call this method Vacuisine.
Only use original V-ZUG vacuum bags for the Vacuisine method.
