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 1015 you have chosen a product that allows
for the fast and convenient use of airtight packag-
ing.
Due to oxygen in the air, food may easily loose its
fresh lavor and quality.
Airtight packaging accommodates for that. Approx.
90% of the air will be removed from the sealing
bag. For that reason the storage life of vacuum-
sealed food is prolonged ive fold in comparison to
traditional storage methods. Furthermore, fresh-
ness and lavor of the food are retained for a longer
time.
That allows you to portion and pack a variety of
food and ready meals as desired.
Even hard food, such as nuts or beans, as well
as non-food items that need to be protected from
humidity, may be sealed. Not to forget coins or
silver jewelry, or clothes and matches for the next
boat trip.
The following regulations and notes will
help you, especially if you have never used a
vacuum sealer before.
• Prolong the storage life of the sealed items.
Wash your hands and clean the accessories
beforehand.
• The sealing bag should be approx. 8 cm longer
than the items to be sealed.
• Do you have loose items, such as herbs, and
want to cut and re-seal the bag? Calculate extra
material of approx. 2 cm.
• Calculate another extra 5 cm, if you want to
freeze the items afterwards, because aqueous
liquids might expand when subjected to low
temperature.
• Good vacuum-sealing results require the use of
wrap foil with texture, such as ribbed, honey-
comb or diamond texture.
• Keep the area around the sealing seam dry and
clean. Avoid creasing. The seam at these spots
might otherwise become permeable!
• The appliance features a short-time duty and
needs to cool down one minute before sealing
the next bag.
• When peeled beforehand, fruits and vegetables
last longer.
• Cabbage, such as broccoli and caulilower, must
be blanched beforehand, as they release gas
when inside the packaging.
