THAWING AND REHEATING VACUUM PACKAGED FOODS
FOODS INSIDE BAG CAN BE DEFROSTED BUT NOT
REHEATED IN MICROWAVE OVEN.
Defrosting - Always thaw foods in either a
refrigerator or microwave — do not thaw perishable
foods at room temperature. Make sure to cut the
corner of the bag before placing it in microwave. It
is recommended that you place bag on a microwave-
safe dish to avoid liquids from spilling out. Make
sure not to exceed maximum power of 180 watts,
maximum time of 2 minutes and maximum
temperature of 70°C (158°F).

Canisters should not be used in the freezer.
The stackable, lightweight containers are a
convenient option to store make-ahead meals,
leftovers and snacks.

before vacuum packaging. Otherwise contents

FoodSaver ® Bottle Stopper
Use FoodSaver ® Bottle Stoppers to vacuum
package wine, non-carbonated liquids and oils.

the flavour. Avoid using the Bottle Stopper on
plastic bottles.
