About Vacuum Packaging
Air is left in most food storage con-
tainers and plastic bags even when
they are sealed tightly. Oxygen is
one of the main reasons that food
goes bad. It starts a chemical
change – robbing food of its nutri-
tional value, texture, color, flavor
and overall quality. The FoodSaver
vacuum packaging system removes
the air from FoodSaver Bags and
then seals the bags so that air cannot
re-enter. It is also designed to be used
with a wide range of FoodSaver
accessories that will keep a variety
of foods fresh longer. Finally, you
can maintain the same freshness at
home that you get with profession-
ally vacuum-packaged items you
purchase at the grocery store.
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls
◗
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls are made
from a special 5-layer plastic
material with patented channels
that remove the air. The outer
layer of nylon seals freshness in,
while locking air and moisture out.
◗
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls can go
straight from the freezer and
refrigerator to the microwave or
boiling water.
◗
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls are
washable (including in the dish-
washer) and reusable.*
◗
FoodSaver Bags come in ready-
made pint, quart and gallon sizes
to offer convenient, one-step storage.
◗
Your appliance also works with 8-
inch and 11-inch wide FoodSaver
Rolls, which allows you to make
custom-sized bags for the items
that you are vacuum packaging.
◗
Most FoodSaver users like to keep
both bags and rolls handy for the
greatest packaging convenience.
Patented 5-Layer Design
Patented FoodSaver Bags are designed to
remove air and seal in freshness.
