The blanching further stops the enzyme process, which means that the vegetables loose colour and
taste.
Peel the vegetables and blanch them by immersing them in boiling water and let them boil till they
soften a little, but are still crispy. Next, immerse in cold water to stop the boiling process. Let the
vegetables drain before vacuum packing.
When freezing vegetables, let them pre-freeze for 1-2 hours. Position the vegetables separately on
baking paper or similar to prevent them from turning into a frozen lump. Put the frozen vegetables
in a vacuum bag and vacuum seal the bag. Next, put the vacuum bag in the freezer. !
Note! Never vacuum pack fresh mushrooms, onion and garlic because of the risk of anaerobic
bacteria. !

Leaf vegetables:!
For the best result, use a vacuum container for vacuum packing of leaf vegetables. Rinse the
vegetables and let them dry on paper towel or similar. Vacuum pack later in a vacuum container and
keep in the refrigerator.
Fruit: !
Fruit with skin shall be peeled before vacuum packing. We recommend that you pre-freeze for 1-2
hours before vacuum packing. Position the fruit separately on baking paper or similar to prevent
them from turning into a frozen lump. Vacuum pack later in a vacuum bag and keep in the
refrigerator. If you want to keep it in the refrigerator, vacuum packing should be made in a vacuum
container. !
!
Bread and cakes:!
If you want to vacuum pack soft bread and cakes, we recommend that you use a vacuum container
to preserve the shape. On the other hand, if you want to use a vacuum bag, we recommend that you
pre-freeze bread and cakes for 1-2 hours. It is of course also possible to vacuum pack cake dough,
pies and cake mix for later use.
Hard cheese: !
To keep the cheese fresh, vacuum pack it if you are not going to use the cheese within a couple of
days. Use a very big vacuum bag, so that you can reuse the bag if you want to vacuum pack the
same cheese again. Note! Soft cheese should not be vacuum packed because of the risk of anaerobic
bacteria.
Powder and flour:!
In order to prevent particles from getting into the vacuum pump, we recommend that you put a
coffee filter or paper towel between the contents in the vacuum bag and the bag opening. Make sure
that the filter/paper does not get into the sealing. You can even vacuum pack the raw materials in the
original packaging by putting the original packaging and the contents in a vacuum bag and then seal
the vacuum bag.
Snacks: !
If there are any snacks left, they will keep longer if vacuum packed. To get the best result, use a
vacuum container for vacuum packing to prevent crushing.
