Food Preparation & Reheating Tips
Thawing and Reheating
Vacuum-Sealed Foods
Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave — do not thaw perishable foods at room
temperature.
To reheat foods in a microwave in a FoodSaver
it on a microwave-safe dish. However, to avoid hot spots, do not reheat bone-in meat or greasy
foods in microwave within a FoodSaver
placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).
Preparation Guidelines
for Meat and Fish:
For best results, pre-freeze meat and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing in a FoodSaver
Bag. This helps retain the juice and shape, and guarantees a better seal.
If it's not possible to pre-freeze, place a folded paper towel between meat or fish and top of
bag, but below seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during
vacuum sealing process.
NOTE: Beef may appear darker after vacuum sealing due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an
indication of spoilage.
Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses:
To keep cheese fresh, vacuum seal it after each use. Make your FoodSaver
allowing one inch (2.54 cm) of bag material for each time you plan to open and reseal in
addition to the three inches (7.62 cm) of extra space you normally leave between contents and
seal edge. Simply cut sealed edge and remove cheese. When you're ready to reseal the cheese,
just drop it in bag and reseal.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be vacuum sealed.
