VACUUM PACKAGING TIPS

Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your Vacuum Sealer can also
be used in many other areas of the house besides the kitchen.
VACUUM PACKAGING IS GREAT FOR CAMPING AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES!
• For a quick & reusable ice pack, fill a vacuum bag about half full with water and a few
tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. Seal the bag - don't vacuum it - and place in the freezer.
The alcohol keeps the water from freezing completely, resulting in a flexible ice pack to
wrap around sore joints and minor injuries.
• Vacuum package pre-made meals in advance for camping outings for quick and easy
dinners in the great outdoors.
• Vacuum package meats and other items for scent-free storage.
• Create your own dry packs by vacuum packaging essentials like matches, dry socks and a
map for emergencies.
AROUND THE HOUSE
• Organize 'junk' drawers and keep easy to lose items like nails and screws safe by vacuum
packaging them in a vacuum bag. That way, items are clearly visible and organized within
the bag.
• Don't worry about polishing silver ever again! Simply vacuum package rarely used
silverware in vacuum bags to prevent the oxidation that causes tarnishing.
** Hint: place a folder paper towel in between sharp edges of the silverware and the
vacuum bag to prevent puncturing.
