With this technique, the maximum temperature reached is
100°C for some types of vegetables, while most foodstuffs
are cooked at 60-65°C.
These bags are therefore suitable to resist temperatures up
to 100°C.
The vacuum bags are indicated for packing products that
cannot be easily crushed (meat, sliced meats, hard cheeses,
legumes, etc...).
Perfect sealing is essential, which is highlighted via a
well-marked seam without burns.
5.6 NOTIONS ON VACUUM CONTAINERS
• Transparent plastic (polycarbonate) vacuum containers are usually found on the market. These are designed for dome-
stic use not for professional vacuum levels (i.e. equal to about 80% of the absolute volume). The lids of these containers
have a valve through which the air is evacuated.
• These accessories are useful for preserving products that can be easily crushed and for the preservation of liquids. They
are not used in the vacuum cooking technique.
• If, you have rigid steel or glass containers available that can resist a high vacuum level, as in the case of EVOX 25 / EVOX
25 h, a longer cycle can be set, which takes the vacuum inside the container near to zero.
5.7 NOTIONS ON STORAGE OF VACUUM PACKED FOODSTUFF
here are several fundamental rules to be respected for perfect results in the kitchen.
Do not use the system to preserve products that are already altered or impoverished from a nutritional point of view, lost
quality cannot be recovered.
Foodstuffs that are kept too long at room temperature or that have just been prepared or cooked, loose humidity and
initial quality (colour, perfume, taste, etc..) and are more subject to bacterial contamination.
It is therefore recommended to vacuum pack products that have been cooled in the fridge for a time sufficient to
take them to 3°C.
This important solution also helps to preserve the pump from oxidation.
• If bags are used to vacuum pack raw or cooked foods, remember to distribute them uniformly in order to make it easier
for the air to escape. Do not fill them excessively as the hermetic sealing could be jeopardized.
• It is good practice to fill the bags up to 2/3 of their volume with the product to be packed.
