14.3 Uses and advantages of vacuum sealing
Vacuum sealing foods prolongs shelf life while preserving food’s freshness, flavor and
nutrients . Vacuum sealing can maintain a food’s freshness for up to eight times as long as
standard storage methods. Below are just a few of the ways you can use your vacuum
sealer:
• Cook in advance then vacuum seal and store individual portions or entire meals.
• Prepare foods in advance for picnics, camping trips and barbecues.
• Keep frozen food safe from freezer burn.
• Package foods, such as meat, fish, poultry, seafood and vegetables for refrigerated
storage.
• Maintain the freshness of dry foods, such as beans, nuts, and cereals.
• Besides storing food, there are many other uses for vacuum sealing: Protect
moisture-sensitive items such as camping supplies, matches, first aid kits, roadside
flares and clothing. Protect prized collectibles from dust and moisture.
14.4 Unpacking
Carefully remove the packaging material and unit from the carton.
