They will remain firm and fresh. To absorb excess moisture, fold a paper towel and place it on the
bottom of the container.
Warning: Liquids must be cooled before vacuum packing. Hot liquids will expand and leak from the
container during depressurising.
Food in powder or granule form can be covered with a paper towel before vacuum packing. This will
prevent the powder or granules from getting into the vacuum paths or being deposited in the Vacuum
Cap seal. Oil used once for frying can be filtered, cooled, vacuum sealed in a MAGIC VAC
and kept in the fridge. This will enable you to use the oil again at least once, since it has been preserved
in an airless and cold environment, thereby retaining its characteristics. Larder items like flour, rice and
cake mixes stay fresh for longer if they are vacuum packed. Nuts and condiments retain their flavour
and will not become rancid.
Tips for preserving food in jars
To preserve food in jars, use lids which have been checked and are free from defects. To create and
maintain a good vacuum, the seals of the lids must be in perfect condition. To keep the lids in good
condition, immerse them in boiling water for three minutes and then rub the dry seal with a drop of oil.
This will restore the necessary elasticity to the seals of the lids.
