Tip: Before filling fold over the bag to the outside, then put the food in the bag
and then fold over the edges back into the original position. Thus the sealing
seam always remains clean!
By the way, you can vacuum seal other things than just food. Old photographs,
stamps, documents or silverware can be vacuum packed to protect it from dam-
aging effects of the environment.
Bags with vacuum packed food can be heated directly in the microwave. In this
case, punch a small hole in the bag so that the pressure can escape. To heat
foods in the container, the lid first has to be opened briefly. We recommend that
you do not reuse bags that have been used for heating foods.
Naturally the vacuum packed bags are ideally suited for „sous-vide" cooking.
„Sous-vide" cooking is a form of low-temperature cooking in which vacuum-
packed food, such as meat, vegetables or fish is slowly and extremely gently
cooked at constant low temperatures in a water bath. By the way the suitable
appliance in our product range for this purpose is the Sous-Vide Stick 58905.
Please note, however, that vacuum packed foods also have to be stored prop-
erly. Perishable goods, for example, have to be cooled even if they are vacuum
packed. Please do not vacuum pack garlic or mushrooms. Vacuum packing of
these foods causes a chemical reaction, which can result in spoilage.
