Vacuum-sealing in a Bag
V a c u u m - s e a l i n g i n a B a g
V acuum-seal food in an appropriate vacuum-sealing bag
in order to preserve the food for longer, marinate it, or
prepare it for sous-vide cooking.
Appropriate Vacuum-sealing Bags
Use the original vacuum-sealing bags that are enclosed
with the appliance or can be purchased as an accessory.
These bags are suitable for a temperature range of
-40 °F – 212 °F (-40° C – 100° C). This means that they
can be used for storing food at low temperatures and
also for cooking the vacuum-sealed food that is contained
in the bags. The optimum heat-sealing time for this bag is
level 2. The bags are microwaveable. Pierce the bag
before you heat it up in the microwave.
Only use bags that are suitable for vacuum-sealing food.
Commercially available products are different when it
comes to the quality of the food, temperature resistance,
material, and surface. Make sure that the bag is used only
for the purpose for which it is intended.
The heat-sealing time for the vacuum-sealing bag always
depends on the material from which it is made. In most
cases, heat-sealing level 1 is sufficient for heat-sealing
thin bags. Vacuum-sealing bags that are made from a
thicker material require a longer heat-sealing time at heat-
sealing level 2 or higher.
The length of the heat-sealing bar limits the size of the
vacuum-sealing bag that can be used. You should
therefore only use bags with a maximum width of 9½"
(240 mm).
