Note:

 the above information should be used as a guideline only. Check condition of food 

before cooking or consumption.

Preparation Tips

Meat & Fish

Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours 

before vacuum packing. This helps retain the 

juice and shape, and provides for a better seal. 

Cheese

Vacuum pack cheese after each use. If you make 

your bag just a little longer than needed, you 

can re-seal the bag after each use.  

 

IMPORTANT: 

Due to the risk of anaerobic 

bacteria, soft cheeses should never be  

vacuum packaged.

Vegetables

Blanch vegetables before vacuum packing. This process 

stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of 

flavour, color and texture. After blanching, immerse 

vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.  

 

NOTE:

 All vegetables (including broccoli, brussel  

sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally 

emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, 

it’s best if they’re stored in the freezer.

Liquids

Before you vacuum pack liquid such as soup or stock, 

pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice cube tray 

until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum 

package in the vacuum bags. You can then stack in the 

freezer. When you’re ready to use, just cut the corner 

of the bag and place in either a microwave dish or drop 

into water at a low simmer, below 75°C
