Bag Guidelines; How To Use With Canister - Excalibur EHV12 Manual Del Usuario

BAG GUIDELINES

• Package the freshest foods possible. The Vacuum Sealer allows you to
maintain the food's freshness up to five times longer than under normal stored conditions.
• Delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-freezing.
Foods like meat, berries and bread can be frozen for up to 24 hours without harm of freezer
burn. Once food is hard, it is ready to be vacuum packaged.
• If packaging fresh meats without pre-freezing, place a folded paper towel in between the
meat and the top of the bag. This will help absorb moisture.
• To vacuum liquids like soups, stews and casseroles, pre-freeze in a dish or ice cube tray.
Once frozen, vacuum package, label and stack in your freezer.
• For objects with sharp points or edges (bones, pasta, rice) pad the edges with paper towels
to prevent the bag from puncturing.
• Vacuum bags are reusable, boilable and microwavable. We do not recommend reusing
bags that have been boiled or micro-waved. Do not reuse bags that have been used to
store fresh fish or greasy foods.
• Vegetables must be blanched before being packaged. Place in boiling water
or microwave until heated through but still crunchy. Vacuum package as normal.
** Never vacuum package mushrooms or garlic.**
