▫ Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. All perishables still
need to be refrigerated or frozen.
▫ Follow all food safety regulations as outlined by the FDA at
www.FDA.gov.
▫ Use only VacMaster® Vacuum Chamber Pouches and accessories.
▫ Some fruits and vegetables may release gases, known as outgassing.
When packaging these fruits and vegetables, outgassing can cause
the vacuum to be gradually lost over time. Blanching or freezing before
vacuum packaging helps prevent this from occuring.
▫ Delicate foods can be frozen prior to packaging to protect them from
getting crushed by the vacuum.
▫ Use VacMaster® Bone Guards to cover an item’s sharp edges to prevent
pouch punctures.
▫ Allow foods and liquids to cool to room temperature before vacuum
packaging.
▫ Avoid overlling the pouch. Leave a minimum of 3" of space between the
contents and the open end of the pouch. This is called head space. This
will prevent spills during the vacuum sealing process.
▫ To prevent wrinkles from forming in the seal, gently stretch the pouch
at along the seal bar before closing the lid.
▫ VacMaster® pouches are boilable, freezable, and microwavable. When
microwaving, it is important to pierce or make a small cut in the pouch.
▫ Seal Bar Selection Switch: The three seal bars provide the user with a
variety of options when it comes to packaging. The Sealing Option Switch
lets users quickly select the front bar only, the two sidebars only, or all
three bars at once. These options allow the user to pick and choose the
bar(s) that best t the application. Longer items, such as ribs, are easily
packaged using the sidebars.
