Opening A Sealed Bag; Resealing Store-Bought Bags - CASO DESIGN VC10 Instructional Manual

Vacuum seal hard cheese after each use.
When sealing, leave one inch (2.54 cm) of extra space for each time you will reseal the bag.
Never vacuum seal soft cheeses because they are susceptible to bacteria.
Vegetables
To vacuum seal leafy vegetables, first wash and then dry using paper towels or a salad
spinner. Use a container as opposed to a bag and then seal as normal.
Coffee / Powdery Foods
At the top of the bag, place a coffee filter or paper towel when vacuum sealing coffee or
powdery foods. You can also vacuum seal these foods in their original packaging by putting
them in a vacuum sealing bag.
Liquids
Freeze all liquids before vacuum sealing in a bag. Keep the vacuum sealed liquid in your
freezer. When you need to use your liquid, cut the corner off of the bag and put in a bowl in a
microwave or put them in 170F water on a low simmer.
Non- Food items
Non-food items can also be stored using a vacuum sealer. This will prevent moisture and
oxygen from ruining your items. Seal like you would with food.
Sous Vide Cooking
Sous Vide is a French term that translates to "under vacuum". It is the process used by
gourmet restaurants of vacuum sealing food in a bag and cooking at a precise temperature in
a water bath. This technique provides healthier, better tasting meals that are never
overcooked...never dried out! Sous vide cooking enables your foods to retain all of their
unique tastes, vitamins, nutrients and minerals. The Caso vacuum bags are perfect for Sous
Vide cooking

5.6 Opening a sealed bag

You can reseal many foods in their original store packages (i.e. potato chip bags). Follow the
