Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your Pro160 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 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. **NOTE** To do this, use AUTO mode and simply press START
and then immediately press SEAL NOW. The alcohol keeps the water from
freezing completely, resulting in a flexible ice pack to wrap around sore joints
and minor injuries.
▪ If you are going camping, vacuum package pre-made meals in advance 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. **NOTE** Place a folded paper towel between sharp edges of the
silverware and the vacuum bag to prevent puncturing.
