– There are many non-food products which can be vacuum-sealed, such as camping equipment
including matches, first aid kits and clean, dry clothes. You can even preserve the emergency triangle
in the car. Also, you can extend the storage time of pipe tobacco. Silverware and collections can also
be vacuum-sealed to protect the items against oxidation, etc.
Using Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
ATTENTION: Do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they could
implode under the vacuum pressure and may cause injury.
• Freezing food in containers
To freeze food in plastic containers use only Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
glass receptacles, use tempered glass suitable for freezer temperatures.
• Preparing food for vacuum sealing in containers
Vacuum sealing in containers is ideal for products that you use frequently. Dried foodstuffs like pasta,
rice, flour, sugar, crisps, savouries or biscuits, and pet food, will maintain all their shape and freshness.
• Salad foods, vegetables and herbs can be cleaned for the whole week and kept in a Rommelsbacher
Magic Vac
container. They will remain firm and fresh. To absorb excess moisture, fold a paper towel
®
and place it on the bottom of the container.
ATTENTION: Liquids must be cooled before vacuum sealing. Hot liquids will expand and leak
from the container during depressurising (bubbling up).
• Food in powder or granule form can be covered with a paper towel before vacuum sealing. This will
prevent the powder or granules from getting into the vacuum paths or being deposited in the vacuum
cap seal.
• Oil used once for frying can be filtered, cooled, vacuum-sealed in a Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
container and kept in the fridge. This will enable you to use the oil again at least once, since it has been
preserved in an airless and cold environment, thereby retaining its characteristics.
• Pantry items like flour, rice and cake mixes stay fresh for longer if they are vacuum-sealed. Nuts and
condiments retain their flavour and will not become rancid.
• Marinating food in containers
Use the square Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
To marinade meat, poultry or fish, pierce the surface of the food and place it in Rommelsbacher Magic
Vac
Executive container, covered with the marinade of your choice. Vacuum-seal the container and
®
cool in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. The food will be as tasty as if it had been left to marinade
overnight!
Important notes
In order to optimise the preservation of foods and ensure perfect hygiene, a number of important rules
must be followed:
• Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly and clean all the implements and surfaces you will be using
to cut and vacuum-seal the food.
• If possible, wear gloves when handling the food.
• Once perishable food has been packed, place it in the fridge or freeze it immediately, maintaining a
constant fridge or freezer temperature. Do not leave the food for a long time at room temperature.
• Place the packs of vacuum-sealed food carefully in the fridge or freezer so that the food will cool rapidly
to a low temperature.
• After opening tinned food or food that has been factory vacuum-sealed, it can be vacuum-sealed again.
