Vacuum Sealing Guidelines
Food Storage & Safety
IMPORTANT : Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any
perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum
packaging.
For best result in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package foods that
are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only slow the
deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth of mold. Other disease
causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments and may require
further meansures to be eliminated.
Food Preparation Hints and Tips for Air-tight Vacuum Sealing
Cooking, Thawing and Reheating – Simmering in a vacuum bag helps food retain its flavor
and it helps with the clean up as well. No dirty saucepans... When reheating foods in the
microwave using your vacuum bags, always puncture open the bag to allow hot air to
escape. You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by placing them in water at a low
simmer below 170 F (75 ).
° °C
IMPORTANT : Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw
perishable foods at room temperature.
Preparation Hints for Meat and Fish :
Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum pakaging. This helps retain
the juice and shape, and provides for a better seal.
If you can't, place a folded paper towel between the food and top of the bag, but below
seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum
packaging process.
Preparation Hints for Cheeses :
Vacuum package cheese after each use. If you make your bag just a little longer than
needed, you can re-seal the bag after each use.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be
vacuum packaged.
