Preparation guide for various kinds of produce
Meat and fish:
For the best results, the produce should be pre-frozen for around 1-2 hours
before they are vacuum packed to retain succulence and texture. If it is not
possible to pre-freeze the produce, place a paper towel between the meat/fish
and the bag opening. Be careful that the paper does not end up in the seal.
Note that the meat may look darker when it has been vacuum packed since
the oxygen is removed during the process.
Vegetables:
Vegetables should be blanched before they are vacuum packed since all
vegetables emit gases during storage. Blanching also stops the enzyme
process that can make the vegetables lose colour and taste.
Peel the vegetables and then blanch them by dipping them in boiling water and
cooking them until they have softened somewhat, but are still crisp. Then place
them directly in cold water to stop the boiling process. Then let them drip dry
before they are vacuum packed.
When vegetables are to be frozen, they should first be pre-frozen for 1-2 hours.
Separate them out on a piece of baking paper or the like to keep them from
freezing together in a clump. Then place the frozen vegetables in a vacuum
bag and vacuum seal the bag. Then place the vacuum bag in the freezer.
NOTE! Fresh mushrooms, onions and garlic should never be vacuum packed
due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria.
Leafy vegetables:
For the best results, a vacuum canister should be used for vacuum packing of
leafy vegetables. Rinse the vegetables and let them dry on a paper towel or the
like. Then vacuum pack them in a vacuum canister and store in the refrigerator.
Fruit:
Fruit with a peel should be peeled before being vacuum packed. Feel free
to pre-freeze fruit for 1-2 hours before being vacuum packed. Spread them
out on a piece of baking paper or the like so they do not freeze together in a
clump. Then vacuum pack them in a vacuum bag and place in the freezer. If
you want to keep them in the refrigerator, you should vacuum pack them in a
vacuum canister.
Baked goods:
If you want to vacuum pack soft baked goods, you are recommended to use
a vacuum canister to preserve their form. If you want to use a vacuum bag,
however, you should pre-freeze the baked goods for 1-2 hours before hand. Of
course, pastry dough, pies and cake mixes can be vacuum packed for later use.
