For the best results possible, it is important
that the food is fresh, wholesome and in good
condition.
Before putting the food under vacuum, check
that it is completely frozen.
Defrosted food cannot be put under vacuum.
In the case of pre-packed food, comply with
the expiry dates marked on the original
packaging.
The preservation time depends on the
medium in which the box is stored.
The proper combination for each foodstuff
In the refrigerator
• Fresh foods such as meat, fish, cheese,
delicatessen meats, fresh pastry and
dough, vegetables and desserts;
• Cooked food and soups.
In the refrigerator, placing items under
vacuum prolongs the food's freshness by
several days compared to storage at low
temperature.
It protects the food from oxidising, drying out,
fermenting and altering in taste, while
preserving its organoleptic and nutritious
properties .
In the freezer
• Food for long storage.
In the freezer, placing items under vacuum
protects the food from drying out owing to
very dry cold and prevents alteration in taste.
Certain conditions apply to preparing food for
storage in the freezer:
• Fish must be cleaned, washed and wiped
dry;
• Vegetables must be blanched and wiped
dry.
Defrosted foodstuffs must be consumed
within 24 hours of their being defrosted.
At ambient temperature
• Dry foodstuffs such as bread,flour,
pastry,breadcrumbs,rice and vegetables.
Placing the items under vacuum protects
the foodstuffs from dampness.
It enables their flavour and their smell to
be kept intact.
• Foodstuffs such as jam, honey, grated
cheese and vegetables preserved in oil.
Placing the items under vacuum enables
them to be kept longer and avoids their
becoming stale.
