MARINATING WITH YOUR FOODSAVER
Your FoodSaver
Vacuum Sealing System has a special
®
Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.
The vacuum motor will "hold" the vacuum for several
minutes then release the vacuum allowing the food
to "rest" for 30 seconds. This process will then repeat
two more times. This "pulsing" action of "vacuuming
and resting" will allow for quicker marinating. When the
Quick Marinate Cycle is completed the appliance will
beep to signal marinating is complete. The FoodSaver
Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect FoodSaver
