FOOD SAFETY Vacuum-packaging When vacuum-packaging food in vacuum-storage boxes, most of the surrounding air is extracted whilst the inflow of fresh air is being prevented. This way the storage life of food is lengthened. Vacuum-packaging helps to prevent freezer burn, which is the dehydration of the surface layer of the food.
PREPARATIONS Before you can start vacuum-packaging vegetables, they need blanching. This will inhibit the enzymatic activity which causes loss of flavour and colour fading. Cook the vegetables or place them in the microwave until they are done, but still a bit crispy. Subsequently you immerse the vegetables in cold water, stopping the cooking process.
FEATURES OVERVIEW Control Panel Depending on the chosen function, the LED Display shows either the vacuum strength, the sealing time or the marinating time. There are two indicator light sets. The set I1 indicates the operating mode (vacuum packaging vs marinating), the set I2 indicates the pre-set vacuum strength.
