Preparation Guidelines for Powdery Foods:
For best results when vacuum pack-
aging powdery foods in a FoodSaver
Bag, leave the item in its original
bag, then place that bag inside a
FoodSaver Bag. This will prevent
fine or powdery food from being
drawn into the vacuum pump and
help guarantee a good seal. Keep powdery foods fresh and
protect them from insect infesta-
tion by repackaging them with the
FoodSaver after each use. You can
open the container and take what
you need for baking or cooking.
Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:
Keep snack foods fresh even if you
use them every day by vacuum
packaging them. Open the canister, take what you need, then repackage
it to maintain freshness.
NOTE: Placing a box inside a FoodSaver Bag may puncture the bag. Therefore, it
is best to use the inner bag in which most powdery foods are generally packaged.

Preparation Guidelines for Bottled Liquids:
Leave at least one inch of room
between the contents and the
bottom of the Bottle Stopper before
vacuum packaging bottled liquids.
Also, good for keeping the leftover oil from deep fryers from turning
rancid. After the oil has cooled down,
strain it into mason jars or FoodSaver
Canisters and vacuum package.
Preparation Guidelines for Dry Foods:
Before vacuum packaging dry foods
with sharp edges, such as rice and
pasta, wrap the food in cushioning material, like a paper towel. This
will help protect the FoodSaver Bag
from punctures.
