Notes on Storing Food

Vacuum sealing, i.e. vacuuming air out of the packaging,
is a common method of prolonging the storage life of food.
With the purchase of the PC-VK 1146 you have chosen a
product that allows for the fast and convenient use of airtight
packaging.
Due to oxygen in the air, food may easily loose its fresh
flavour and quality.
Airtight packaging accommodates for that. Approx. 90 % of
the air will be removed from the sealing bag. Compared to
conventional storage methods, the storage time of vacuumed
and heat sealed food is therefore extended by a factor of
eight. Furthermore, freshness and flavour of the food are
retained for a longer time.
