Hints And Tips; Food Storage And Safety Information - Deni 1930 Use And Care Instructions Manual

HINTS AND TIPS

I
Juices and moisture in foods can prevent a good
seal, therefore, we recommend to pre-freeze food
for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. An alter-
native method is to fold a paper towel. Fill the
bag with food and lay flat. Place the folded towel
so it lies between the top of the bag and the food.
Ensure that the paper towel is below the sealing
strip. When you vacuum seal, the paper towel will
absorb the excess moisture.
I
Store perishable foods in the freezer or
refrigerator. Vacuum packing extends the shelf
life of foods, but does not preserve them.
I
Many foods are sold pre-packed in commercial
vacuum bags such as cheese and deli meats. Now,
you can maintain the taste and freshness of these
foods, by re-packaging with Deni vacuum sealer
bags after the commercially packed bags have
been opened.
I
Pantry items such as flour, rice, mixes for cakes
and pancakes, all stay fresher longer when vacuum
packed. Nuts and condiments maintain their flavor
while rancidity is kept out.
I
For objects with sharp points and edges, such as
bones or dried pasta, pad the edges with paper
towels to keep them from puncturing the bag.
I
There are many non-food uses for vacuum packing.
Keep camping supplies such as matches, first aid
kits and clothing clean and dry. Keep flares for
auto emergencies ready. Keep silver and
collectibles untarnished.
