Storing Your Vacuum Sealer:

Preparing food for the freezer
1. In properly stored conditions, the vacuum sealer helps you to
maintain the food’s freshness. Try to start with the freshest
food possible.
2. To freeze the foods which need to hold its shape or are fragile,
vacuum seal in a vacuum bag and return to freezer. Food such
as meat, berries and breads can be frozen without fear of
freezer burn for up to 24 hours.
3. For vacuum sealing liquid-based foods, such as soups,
casseroles or stews, first freeze it in a baking pan or tempered
dish, vacuum seal, label and stack in your freezer as soon as it
is frozen solid.
4. Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or
microwave oven, cool them, then vacuum seal in convenient
portions.
5. To vacuum seal the foods which are not frozen, two extra
inches is required for bag length to allow for expansion while
freezing. Place the meat or fish on a paper towel, and vacuum
seal with the paper towel in the bag, this way will help to
absorb moisture from the foods.
6. Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger
patties, use wax or parchment paper between them to stack
the pieces. This will be convenient to remove some of the food,
reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.
