FoodSaver
™
Vacuum Sealing
System
Why Vacuum Package?
Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and
flavour, and also enables many types of bacteria,
mould and yeast to grow. The FoodSaver
packaging system removes air and seals in flavour
and quality. With a full line of FoodSaver
™
canisters to expand your options, you can now enjoy
the benefits of a scientifically proven food storage
method that keeps food fresh up to five times
longer.
The FoodSaver
System Saves Time and Money
™
• Spend less money. With the FoodSaver
system, you can buy in bulk or buy on sale and
vacuum package your food in desired portions
without wasting food.
• Save more time. Cook ahead for the week,
preparing meals and saving them in FoodSaver
bags.
• Marinate in minutes. Vacuum packaging opens
up the pores of food so you can get that great
marinated flavour in just 20 minutes instead of
overnight.
• Make entertaining easy. Make your signature
dish in advance so you can spend quality time
with your guests.
• Enjoy seasonal or specialty foods. Keep highly
perishable or infrequently used items fresh
longer.
• Control portions for dieting. Vacuum package
sensible portions and write the calories and fat
content on the bag.
• Protect non-food items. Keep camping and
boating supplies dry and organised for outings.
Protect polished silver from tarnishing by
minimizing exposure to air.
