Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging

General Tips

Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the
1.
heat process of canning. Perishables still need to
be refrigerated or frozen.
For best results, use FoodSaver Bags and
2. ®
Canisters.
During the vacuum packaging process, small
3.
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can
be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel
clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.
To prevent this, follow these tips:
For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats:
a.
Pre-freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can
also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag,
but below seal area, before vacuum packaging.
For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and
b.
avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister and
store in the refrigerator.
For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid
c.
overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also
place a coffee filter or paper towel inside
before vacuum packaging.
If your appliance features a Drip Tray
d. (F)
empty after each use.
To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 7.5 cm of
4.
bag material between bag contents and top of
bag. Then leave at least additional 2.5 cm of bag
material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
Do not create your own side seams for a
5.
FoodSaver Bag. These bags are manufactured
®
with a special side seam, which is sealed all the
way to the outer edge.

simply reseal bag about 0.5 cm above first seal.

,
(G)
cushioning material, such as a paper towel.

of space at top of canister or container, and make
