Marinating with your FoodSaver
Your FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System has a special
®
Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.
The vacuum motor will "hold" the vacuum for several
minutes then release the vacuum allowing the food to
"rest" for 30 seconds. This process will then repeat
two more times. This "Pulsing" action of "vacuuming
and resting" will allow for quicker marinating. When the
Quick Marinate Cycle is completed the appliance will
beep to signal marinating is complete.
The FoodSaver Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect
®
FoodSaver Accessory for marinating foods. Foods will
®
marinate in minutes when vacuum sealed because the
vacuum process opens the pores of the food and absorbs
the marinade more quickly.
Important Note: Use the FoodSaver
Canister with clear lid and large white knob. During the
Quick Marinate Cycle, make sure knob on accessory lid
is set to OPEN. Do not set knob to Vacuum. The Vacuum
position on the knob will allow the Quick Marinating
Canister to be used for extending
vacuum storage.
1. Prepare enough of your favorite marinade to fully
cover food inside a marinating canister.
Tips for Successful Vacuum Sealing
General Tips
Tips for Successful Vacuum Sealing
1. Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat process of
canning. Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use FoodSaver
and Accessories.
3. During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts of
liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently
pulled into Drip Tray (O), clogging the pump and
damaging your appliance.
To prevent this, follow these tips:
a. For moist and juicy foods: Freeze first and avoid
overfilling bags. You can also place a folded paper
towel inside top of bag, and below seal area, before
vacuum sealing.
b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and avoid
overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in refrigerator.
c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags
or use a canister. You can also place a coffee filter or
paper towel inside before vacuum packaging.
d. Empty drip tray (O) after each use.

Always leave at least one inch (2.54 centimeters) of
space between contents and top of rim.
2. Make sure rubber gasket underneath lids as well as
rim of marinating canister is free from food materials.
3. Make sure Accessory Hose is securely inserted into
port on the FoodSaver
4. Make sure knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN.
5. Make sure lid is firmly attached to marinator base.
6. Press Marinate button
7. Your FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System will now
®
begin the Quick Marinate Cycle. The Marinate
Indicator Light will flash to indicate the marinating
process has begun.
8. During the initial vacuum cycle the Marinate Mode
Indicator will illuminate. While Marinating, the
Vacuum Progress Display will blink during the Vacuum
Hold or Rest Cycle.
9. To preserve food safely, after completing the
marinating cycle, the appliance will signal with
short beeps to indicate your Quick Marinate Cycle is
completed. Press any button to silence the signal. You
may now cook or refrigerate your marinated food.
4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches
(7.62 centimeters) of bag material between bag contents
and top of bag. Then leave at least one additional inch
(2.54 centimeters) of bag material for each time you plan
to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver
Bag. Our bags are manufactured with a special side seam,
which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky
items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting into the
vacuum channel and hold until pump begins.
7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly, simply
reseal bag.
8. When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges
(dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures
by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as a
paper towel. You may want to use a canister or Mason jar
instead of a bag.
9. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch
(2.54 centimeters) of space at top of canister or container.
10. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum
sealing for best results. See FoodSaver
included with your appliance for more information.
