In order to optimise the preservation of foods
and ensure perfect hygiene, a number of im-
portant rules must be followed:
•
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly
and clean all the implements and surfaces
you will be using to cut and vacuum pack the
food.
•
If possible, wear gloves when handling the
food.
•
Once perishable food has been packed, place
it in the fridge or freeze it immediately, main-
taining a constant fridge or freezer tempera-
ture. Do not leave the food for a long time at
room temperature.
•
Place the containers of vacuum packed food
carefully in the fridge or freezer so that the
food will cool rapidly to a low temperature.
•
After opening tinned food or food that has
been factory vacuum packed, it can be vacu-
um packed again. Follow the instructions to
cool the food after opening and put it away
as soon as it has been vacuum packed.
•
Pre-packed foods must in any case be
consumed by the use-by date shown on the
original package.
•
Once you have warmed up or defrosted
perishable food, it must be eaten. Do not eat
perishable food if it has been left at room
temperature for many hours. This is especially
important if the food has been prepared with
a dense sauce, in a vacuum pack or in other
low-oxygen content environments.
•
Do not defrost food in boiling water or using
other heat sources, unless the food in ques-
tion is liquid (soups, juices, etc.).
•
Vacuum packing extends the life of dried
food. Food which has a high fat content
becomes rancid due to oxygen and heat.
Vacuum packing extends the life of food like
nuts, coconuts, or cereal products. Store in a
cool, dark place.
•
Vacuum packing will not extend the life of
fruit and vegetables such as bananas, apples,
potatoes and several vegetables, unless it has
been peeled prior to vacuum packing.
Points to remember
•
Soft foods and food with a delicate structure
(like fish, berries, etc.) must be pre-frozen for
one night before they can be vacuum packed
and placed in the freezer.
•
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and
cabbage give off gas when they are vacuum
packed fresh for storage in the freezer. To
prepare these foods for vacuum packing, heat
and freeze them.
•
To ensure correct and safe vacuum packing,
use only original Espressions MAGIC VAC®
bags, containers and accessories.
