SOLIS EASYVAC Professional Mode D'emploi page 115

12. Fluids must always be cooled before vacuuming. Hot liquids foam or form
bubbles and increase in volume if they are vacuumed.
NOTE: Use only our SOLIS-containers for vacuuming.
13. Keep perishable foods in the freezer or fridge. Vacuum packing extends
the life of food, but does not turn it into a „preserve", i.e. a stable product at
ambient temperature.
14. Fill a bag 2/3 full with water, seal the end of the bag (do no vacuum!) and lay the
bag in the freezer. You can use the ice for cooling drinks but also for sporting
injuries.
15. Many foods are already vacuum packed when bought, such as cheese or
ready meals. With our vacuuming-appliance, you can vacuum them again (in
SOLIS bags!), if the packaging has been opened, so that it stays fresh and retains
it's full flavour. However, these foods should still only be consumed up until the
date printed on the original packaging.
16. Cereals such as flour, rice and cake mixes stay fresh longer if they are vac-
uum packed. Nuts and spices hold their flavour better and will not go rancid.
Ideal for long journeys.
17. Freshly washed salads can be vacuumed in a SOLIS container and kept in
the refrigerator for up to a week – so there is always fresh and crispy salad
to hand at meal times. If you line the container with a paper towel it will absorb
excess moisture.
18. Powdered or small grain foods can be vacuumed in SOLIS containers, if
kitchen paper is placed on top of the food as a barrier so that the powder
or grains can not get into the suction pump or inside the air extraction hose.
19. Foods with sharp edges and points, such as bones or dry pasta should be
wrapped in kitchen paper so that they can no longer damage the bag or
cause punctures.
20. You can also vacuum pack more than just food. Camping products such as
matches, first aid bandages or clothing stay clean and dry when vacuum packed.
Vacuum packed silverware doesn't tarnish, a vacuum packed candle is always
advisable.
21. The main use of the vacuum sealer is to conveniently keep many foods
fresh for longer without losing their flavour. In general you could say
that vacuum packing quadruples the shelf life of foods in comparison to
traditional storage methods. Once you have enjoyed the advantages of
this appliance, it will soon become indispensible to you and you will have
to throw much less food away and thereby save money.
