Vacuum sealing

If you’ve been wondering if a vacuum sealing would be useful in your life, here are a few benefits of owning a vacuum sealer:

Vacuum pack family portions of meals or individual portions of snacks or vegetables and freeze them. When it’s time to eat, determine the portions you need and you’re done. This is especially useful for sous vide cooking. Just drop the required portions into your sous vide pot and cook until done. Dinner is served.

Buying meat in bulk, dividing into meal-sized portions and vacuum sealing allows you to have fresh meat on hand for up to 6 months. This leads to incredible savings compared to buying meat off the counter before every meal.

Vacuum appliances preserve food by preventing the growth of mold or bacteria. Vacuum sealing deprives your food of oxygen. Mold and bacteria cannot grow without oxygen.

Vacuuming protects food from dehydration and frostbite in the freezer. Frostbite occurs when water gets into food. The vacuum bag keeps your food from coming into contact with the air, so moisture cannot evaporate, making it an excellent barrier against the outside elements.

The shelf life of your food is greatly extended when you vacuum seal it. Vacuum preserves food 3 to 5 times longer than food stored in plastic containers or bags. The exact time that food will last in a vacuum depends on whether you store it in the refrigerator, freezer or pantry.

Frozen food that has been vacuum-sealed lasts an average of 2-3 years, while food stored in other ways will last 6-12 months. Most vacuum-sealed foods will last in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. That is much longer than the 1-3 days that food typically lasts when stored conventionally in the refrigerator.

Vacuum sealing enables efficient, organized packaging. Vacuum sealed food takes up less space in your fridge or freezer and allows you to easily see the food you are storing.
