Vegetables
Frozen vegetables sometimes turn black
if they are not blanched before freezing.
To blanch vegetables, fill 1 litre pot with
water and bring to the boil. Also fill a large
bowl with ice water and have a colander or
strainer on hand. Add vegetables to boiling
water and cook for the times suggested.
Vegetables should retain a vibrant colour
and remain crisp and ‘under cooked’.
Remove from boiling water and plunge into
ice water until completely chilled. Drain
as necessary, dry, and transfer to a bag for
vacuum sealing.

Cruciferous vegetables
Because of gases they omit over time,
cruciferous vegetables should be kept in the
freezer rather than refrigerator after vacuum
sealing. These vegetables include broccoli,
cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower,
kale,and turnips.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms need to breathe and should
never be sealed in plastic. The best way
to store mushrooms is to place them in
a brown paper bag and keep them in the
refrigerator.
Meat, fish & poultry
For best results, wash poultry and whole
clean fish and gently pat dry with a clean
paper towel.
Beef, veal, lamb, pork and fish fillets should
be patted dry with a clean paper towel.
This extra step saves you time when you are
ready to cook and also helps to maintain
good moisture levels and shape. For best
results, pre-freeze prior to vacuum sealing
for 1-2 hours to retain the moisture and
shape of the meat.
If vacuuming without freezing first, you
should also insert a paper towel into the
bag and over each side of the meat before
vacuum sealing to absorb excess moisture
and juices.
NOTE
Vacuum sealing may cause meat to
darken. This is due to the removal of
oxygen and does not indicate spoilage.
Ground Coffee & other powdery foods
Due to small particle like nature of ground
coffee, it may be necessary to wrap a paper
towel around the coffee being vacuum
sealed, or place the coffee in a bag or the
original packaging prior to vacuum sealing.
Non edible items
The vacuum sealer sealing can be used to
help preserve non edible items:
Camping, travelling & emergency
equipment.
Stays dry and takes up less room when it is
vacuum sealed – bandages, matches, clothes,
maps, passport, batteries, torches, film, flares
etc.
Silver
Helps prevent tarnishing. To avoid
puncturing the vacuum sealer bags, place a
paper towel or soft material over silver prior
to vacuum sealing.
