The advantages of vacuuming
Vacuum packing 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 larder, fridge or freezer. Air can make food
rancid and stale, it can cause it to ferment,
dry out, and it may even cuse freezer burns.
Vacuum packing 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-packed, like cheese and meat, will
retain its flavour and freshness once opened,
without problems of moisture and mould, if
it is vacuum-packed after use in Espressions
Vacu Pro 2 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
nuts will last much longer if they are vacuum
packed. Fresh or perishable foods must in any
case be frozen or kept in the fridge.
IMPORTANT:
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 pack it. There are in fact
no preservation methods which will transform
a poor product into a good one.
Always keep your Espressions MAGIC VAC®
bags and containers handy and you will quickly
appreciate the many advantages and ease of
use that Espressions Vacu Pro 2 offers when it
comes to preserving the quality of food.
Consult the 'Food preservation times with
Espressions Vacu Pro 2' chart to see how
vacuum packing can extend the life of any
food without in any way altering or impairing
its taste, smell, appearance, hygiene and
nutritional value.
