Preparing the bags
∙ Put the prepared food into a bag,
ensuring that the bag opening remains
absolutely clean and dry.
Hint: For easy, clean filling of the bags,
turn down the rim around the opening a
few cm. After filling, unroll the rim again.
∙ Fill the bags only up to max. 5 cm below
the opening.
∙ If necessary, the food may be dabbed
with a kitchen towel first to remove any
residual liquid from the outside.
