Preparation Guidelines for Powdery Foods:
For best results when vacuum pack-
aging powdery foods in a FoodSaver
Bag, leave the item in its original
bag, then place that bag inside a
FoodSaver Bag. This keeps fine or
powdery food from being drawn
into the vacuum pump and helps to
guarantee a good seal.
NOTE: Placing a box inside a FoodSaver Bag may puncture the bag. Therefore, it
is best to use the inner bag in which most powdery foods are generally packaged.
