10. - Food Storage and Safety Information
The Vacuum Sealer will revolutionize the way you buy and store food. Because vacuum packaging works to eliminate freezer burn and
slow food spoilage, you are now able to take advantage of buying food in bulk without the threat of food waste.
Vacuum packaging with the Vacuum Sealer removes up to 90% of the air from the package. This will help keep food fresher up to 5
times longer than under normal circumstances. Dry foods like pasta, cereals and flour will stay fresh from start to finish. Plus vacuum
packaging prevents weevils and other insects from infesting dry goods. Package only the freshest foods possible.
However, please keep in mind that not all foods benefit from vacuum packaging. Never vacuum package garlic or fungi like
mushrooms. A dangerous chemical reaction takes place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested.
Vegetables should be blanched before packaging to kill any enzymes that may cause deterioration of out-gassing when vacuumed.

11- Vacuum Packaging Tips
Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your Vacuum Sealer can also be used in many other areas of the house
besides the kitchen.
Vacuum packaging is great for camping and outdoor activities!
▪ For a quick & reusable ice pack, fill a vacuum bag about half full with water and a few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. Seal the bag
- do not vacuum it - and place in the freezer. The alcohol keeps the water from freezing completely, resulting in a flexible ice pack
to wrap around sore joints and minor injuries.
▪ Vacuum package pre-made meals in advance for camping outings for quick and easy dinners in the great outdoors.
▪ Vacuum package meats and other items for scent-free storage.
▪ Create your own dry packs by vacuum packaging essentials like matches, dry socks and a map for emergencies.
Around The House
▪ Organize 'junk' drawers and keep easy to lose items like nails and screws safe by vacuum packaging them in a vacuum bag. That
way, items are clearly visible and organized within the bag.
▪ Don't worry about polishing silver ever again! Simply vacuum package rarely
used silverware in vacuum bags to prevent the oxidation that causes tarnishing.
** Hint: place a folder paper towel in between sharp edges of the silverware and the vacuum bag to prevent puncturing.
