The best results can be achieved when vacuum packing fresh food. - If the quality of food is deteriorating, vacuum packing can delay the process, but will never stop it Anaerobic bacteria and microorganisms that can operate in a low-oxygen environment still affect food deterioration. - Cooking, thawing and reheating vacuum-packed food in water preserves the flavor of the food and makes it easier to keep clean. - When heating vacuum-packed food using a microwave oven, always perforate the bag in several places, allowing hot air to escape. - Vacuum-packed food can be heated by immersing and heating it in warm water, the temperature of the water must not exceed 75 degrees C When packing meat and fish, it is recommended to first place the food in the freezer for 1-2 hours This will allow the juices naturally present in the food to bind, and also allow the food to retain its shape If it is not possible to pre-cool the food, it is recommended to place a loosely rolled paper towel between the food and the edge of the bag to be sealed The towel will absorb the juices that will escape from the food during air extraction When packing cheese, it is recommended to pack the remaining cheese after each use If a large enough bag is used, it can be reused after cutting off the seal first Before vacuum packing vegetables, it is recommended to blanch them Blanching will stop the action of enzymes that can lead to loss of flavor, color and texture To blanch vegetables, immerse them in boiling water for a few tens of seconds, then take them out and plunge them into cold water The blanching time depends on the type of vegetable The finer and more delicate the vegetables, the shorter the blanching time Blanching can also be done using a microwave or steamer Before vacuum-packing liquid foods such as soups, freeze them in a separate container, the shape and size of which should be chosen so that the frozen product fits into the bag After freezing, the product should be removed from the dish put into a bag, vacuum packed, and then placed back in the freezer Vacuum-packed food can be reheated by immersing and heating it in warm water, the water temperature must not exceed 75 degrees C Method of use Vacuum packing -
