Preparation Guidelines for Meat and Fish

For best results, pre-freeze meat and fish 
for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging in 
a FoodSaver

®

 Bag. This helps retain the 

juice and shape and guarantees a better 
seal.
If it's not possible to pre-freeze, place 
a folded paper towel between meat or 
fish and top of bag but below seal area. 
Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess 
moisture and juices during vacuum 
packaging process.

Note:

 Beef may appear darker after vacuum 

packaging due to the removal of oxygen.  
This is not an indication of spoilage.

Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses

To keep cheese fresh, vacuum package it 
after each use. Make your FoodSaver

®

 Bag 

extra long, allowing 2.5cm of bag material 
for each time you plan to open and reseal 
in addition to the 7.5cm room you normally 
leave between contents and seal. Simply 
cut sealed edge and remove cheese. When 
you're ready to repackage the cheese, just 
drop it in bag and reseal.

Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables

Vegetables need to be blanched before 
vacuum packaging. This process stops the 
enzyme action that could lead to loss of 
flavour, colour and texture.
To blanch vegetables, place them in boiling 
water for 1 to 2 minutes. After blanching, 
immerse vegetables in iced cold water 
to stop the cooking process. Finally, dry 
vegetables on a towel before vacuum 
packaging.
When freezing vegetables, it is best to  
pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until 
solidly frozen. To freeze vegetables in 
individual servings, first place on a baking 

sheet and spread them out so they are not 
touching. This prevents them from freezing 
together  
in a block. Once they are frozen, remove 
from baking sheet and vacuum package 
vegetables in a FoodSaver

®

 Bag. After they 

have been vacuum packaged, return them 
to the freezer.

Note:

 Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, 

Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, 
kale, turnips) naturally emit gases during 
storage. Therefore, after blanching, they 
must be stored in freezer only.

Important: 

Mushrooms and garlic should 

never be vacuum packaged.

Preparation Guidelines for Leafy Vegetables

For best results, use a canister to store 
leafy vegetables. First wash the vegetables 
and then dry with a towel or salad spinner.  
After they are dried, put them in a canister 
and vacuum package. Store in refrigerator.

Preparation Guidelines for Fruits

When freezing soft fruits or berries, it 
is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours 
or until solidly frozen. To freeze fruit in 
individual servings, first place on a baking 
sheet and spread them out so they are not 
touching. This prevents them from freezing 
together in a block. Once they are frozen, 
remove from baking sheet and vacuum 
package fruit in a FoodSaver

®

 Bag. After 

they have been vacuum packaged, return 
them to the freezer.
You can vacuum package portions for 
baking, or in your favourite combinations 
for easy fruit salad all year round. If storing 
in the refrigerator, we recommend using a 
FoodSaver

®

 Canister.
