Vacuum Sealing to preserve food

Today's Assignment



Learn about the vacuum sealing process of preserving food. Consider this as a great way to extend the shelf life of your food supply.



The Less Air, the Longer You Can Save Remove oxygen around food and you radically slow down spoilage and deterioration. FoodSaver home vacuum packaging systems offer a two-step process of removing air and sealing it out, so that your food stays fresh up to five times longer than conventional storage methods.By keeping food fresh you eliminate freezer burn. Meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit will stay fresh in the freezer for months, even years. Make an entire plate of food or vacuum package last night's pizza to eat months later. The taste difference between just-cooked meals and leftovers will be indistinguishable when you vacuum package and freeze.Cheese stays fresh in the refrigerator for months and produce will stay fresh for weeks. Dry goods and snacks won't become stale or tasteless when you vacuum package and store in the pantry.



A full range of FoodSaver accessories let you keep almost all foods fresh longer in the freezer, refrigerator and pantry.Since food lasts longer, you can lower your food bill by buying in bulk or when your favorite foods are in season, and not worry about throwing out wasted food. You can even shop less frequently and still always have fresh food on hand.



With FoodSaver, you will:
Extend the freshness of food.
