HOW TO PRESERVE FOOD IN FOOD PRESERVER
BAGS
Vacuum packing for the freezer
First of all, use the freshest possible food.
The Food Preserver system will allow you to
retain all the freshness of the food only if
it is properly preserved. Some foods have a
soft consistency which could be damaged
by vacuum packing the product when fresh.
To prepare delicate foods like fish, berries,
bread, etc, it is advisable to pre-freeze them
first. In the first twenty-four hours there is
no risk of freezer burns, so you can vacuum
pack the products frozen the previous day in
Food Preserver bags, and then keep them in
the freezer for long periods so as to preserve
all the nutritional values and flavour of the
product you have packed.
When vacuum packing soups, stews or
other liquid food, pre-freeze it in a pan or
temperature resistant dish. When the food
becomes solid, vacuum pack it and replace
in your freezer. To vacuum pack vegetables,
peel them and then blanche them briefly
in boiling water or a microwave oven until
they are warm but still firm. Refresh in
iced water to stop the cooking process and
drain thorougly. Then vacuum pack them in
convenient portions.
If the food is not pre-frozen, leave an extra
5 cm in the length to the bag, to allow for
expansion due to freezing. With regard to
meat and fish, it is advisable to place the
food on a paper towel and vacuum pack it
with the towel in the bag. This will absorb
any moisture in the food.
To preserve food like focaccia, crêpes and
small hamburger patties, stack them on top
of each other, placing greaseproof paper or
film between each piece. This will make it
easier to remove some of the food, re-vacuum
seal the rest and replace it immediately in
the freezer.
Vacuum packing for the fridge
For busy households, food can be prepared
in advance, then vacuum packed and kept in
the fridge for use at different times, ready to
be heated as and when necessary.
Vacuum packing for the pantry
Even foods that can keep at room
temperature (for example, coffee, flour,
pasta, sugar, etc.) can benefit from vacuum
packing. If these food items are to remain
unused for several days, it is advisable to
protect them by vacuum packing. They will
keep better and moisture, mould and insects
will not attack and ruin them.
