General Hints

If you want to vacuum-seal soft food such as very ripe berries, airy-baked
cakes or fancy cakes etc. first, freeze the foods and then vacuum-seal. By
doing this, the foods will keep their originally shape.
First, blanch vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and other cabbages
and freeze in small portions, than vacuum-seal the vegetables. By blanch-
ing the vegetables they cannot emit gases during storage.
Pre-freeze foods that have excess liquid or moisture before vacuum-
sealing. If you intent to freeze food after sealing, leave at least 5 cm space
from the top so the food can expand while freezing.
Before vacuum-sealing meat or fish, use paper towel to completely dry.
This is important to avoid liquids to be sucked into the unit because of the
powerful air intake pump.
If you want to freeze and vacuum-sealed food such crepes, tortillas or
hamburger patties, place parchment paper between the pieces. This will
be convenient to remove single pieces.
To preserve important non-food from oxidation, corrosion and moisture,
store such objects in the bag. Simply wrap spiky objects with paper towel
or similar cushioning material in order to avoid puncturing the bag.
Use the unit for vacuum-sealing delicate objects such silver, batteries,
candles, negatives, photos, certificates, matches, screws, stamps,
jewellery, medicine, first aid kits, etc.
Fill a bag about 2/3 with water and seal the bag. Place the bag in the
freezer and allow freezing completely. Now you can use the bag as cold
pack or ice pack for sport injuries, skin reddening, etc.
for thin and normal bags and
for thick bags.
