You can marinate in a fraction of the usual time with FoodSaver
Canisters. What usually takes hours to marinate takes only about
20 minutes when you vacuum package your food. All FoodSaver
Canisters work for marinating, but we recommend the Square
FoodSaver Canister because less marinade will be needed.
IMPORTANT:
1
Do not attempt to vacuum package any contents that are warmer
than room temperature since the vacuum may cause the contents
to bubble out of the container.
2
Leave at least one inch between the top of the contents and the
canister rim.
3
The Square and Bulk Storage Canister bases can be used in
the microwave to reheat food. However, do not put lids in the
microwave. Also, do not put either part of the FoodSaver Designer
Canisters in the microwave.
