VACUUM SEALING - GENERAL INFORMATION
Advantages of vacuum sealing
Vacuum sealing will revolutionise the way in which you buy and keep food. By keeping food under
vacuum (i.e. without air), the shelf-life of foods is greatly extended, whether it is kept in the
pantry, fridge or freezer. Air can make food rancid and stale, it can cause it to ferment, dry out,
and it may even cause freezer burns. Vacuum sealing keeps your food fresher and more
flavourful for longer.
Now you can pack fresh food bought from the market, or food picked from your vegetable garden,
in handy portions for future use, even in large quantities. Food bought already vacuum-sealed,
like cheese and meat, will retain its flavour and freshness once opened, without problems of
moisture and mould, if it is vacuum-sealed after use in MAGIC VAC

bags and containers. Meat,
fish and vegetables can be frozen without the risk of frost burns and will keep their freshness
and quality. Foodstuffs like coffee, rice, flour and dried fruit will last much longer if they are
vacuum-sealed with your vacuum sealer. Fresh or perishable foods must in any case be frozen
or kept in the fridge.
The original quality of the food must be of the very highest order, in terms of freshness and
environmental hygiene, when you decide to vacuum-seal it. There are in fact no preservation
methods which will transform a poor product into a good one.
Always keep your vacuum sealer, bags and containers handy and you will quickly appreciate the
many advantages and ease of use when it comes to preserving the quality of food. Consult the
„storage times“ chart to see how vacuum sealing can extend the life of any food without in any
way altering or impairing its taste, smell, appearance, hygiene and nutritional value.
