Preparation Guidlines for Vegetables :
Blanching is a process that should be done before vacuum packaging vegetables. This
process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture. To
blanch vegetables, place them in Simmering water or in a microwave until they are
cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times can range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and
peas ; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli ; give your carrots about 5
minutes ; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse vegetables in
cold water to stop the cooking process.
NOTE : All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale,
turnips) naturally emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it's best if they're
stored in the freezer.
More on Vegetables :
Vegetables are a great candidate for portion control ; when storing vegetables, try
pre-freezing them for 1 to 2 hours, then separate them into meal portions within your
vacuum bags. After they have been vacuum packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions & garlic
should never be vacuum packaged.
Preparation Hints for Powdery Foods :
When vacuum packaging powdery items like flour, it's best to use their original packaging
inside of the vacuum bags. The fine powder could get sucked into the machine and cause
enough damage to shorten the life of the sealer.
Preparation Hints for Liquids :
Before you vacuum package liquid such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf
pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum package in the
vacuum bags. You can then stack in the freezer. When you're ready to use, just cut corner
of bag and place in either a microwave dish or drop into water at a low simmer, below
170 F (75 ).
