Guidelines
for Vacuum Packaging (Cont.)
When freezing vegetables, it is best to pre-freeze
them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze
vegetables in individual servings, first place on
a baking sheet and spread them out so they are
not touching. This prevents them from freezing
together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove
from baking sheet and vacuum package vegetables
in a FoodSaver Bag. After they have been vacuum
®
packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT: Fresh mushrooms should never be
vacuum packaged.
Preparation Guidelines for Leafy Vegetables:
For best results, use a canister to store leafy
vegetables. First wash the vegetables, and then dry
with a towel or salad spinner. After they are dried,
put them in a canister and vacuum package. Store in
refrigerator.
Preparation Guidelines for Fruits:
When freezing soft fruits or berries, it is best to pre-
freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To
freeze fruit in individual servings, first place on a
baking sheet and spread them out so they are not
touching. This prevents them from freezing together
in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from baking
sheet and vacuum package fruit in a FoodSaver
Bag. After they have been vacuum packaged, return
them to the freezer.
You can vacuum package potions for baking, or in
your favourite combinations for easy fruit salad
all year round. If storing in the refrigerator, we
recommend using a FoodSaver ® Canister.
Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods:
To vacuum package soft or airy baked goods, we
recommend using a FoodSaver Canister so they
®
will hold their shape. If using a bag, pre-freeze for
1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To save time, make
cookie dough, pie shells, whole pies, or mix dry
ingredients in advance and vacuum package for later
use.
Preparation Guidelines for Coffee and Powdery
Foods:
To prevent food particles from being drawn into
vacuum pump, place a coffee filter or paper towel at
top of bag or canister before vacuum packaging.
You can also place the food in its original bag inside
a FoodSaver ® Bag, or use a FoodSaver ® Universal Lid
with the original container to vacuum package.

Preparation Guidelines for Liquids:
Before you vacuum package liquids 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 a FoodSaver Bag. You can
®
stack these "frozen bricks" in your freezer. When
you're ready to use, just cut corner of bag and place
in a dish in microwave or drop into water at a low
simmer, below 75°C.
Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:
Your snack foods will maintain their freshness longer
when you vacuum package them. For best results,
use a FoodSaver Canister for crushable items like
®
crackers.
Vacuum Packaging Non-Food Items
The FoodSaver vacuum packaging system also
®
protects non-food items from oxidation, corrosion
and moisture. Simply follow the directions to
vacuum package items using FoodSaver
Canisters and Accessories.
To vacuum package silver, wrap fork tines in soft
cushioning material, such as a paper towel, to avoid
puncturing bag.
® Your FoodSaver Bags are ideal for outdoor
®
excursions. For camping and hiking, keep your
matches, maps and food dry and compact. To have
fresh water for drinking, simply fill a FoodSaver
Bag with ice, seal it and when needed, let the ice
pack melt. If you're going sailing or boating, vacuum
package your food, film and a dry change of clothes.
Just remember to bring scissors or a knife to open
the bag.
To keep emergency kits safe and dry, vacuum
package flares, batteries, flashlights, matches,
candles and other necessities. Your emergency items
will stay dry and organised in your home, car or
boat.
