Defrosting vacuum packed food
•
Food preserved vacuum packed such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and other foods
can be defrosted on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
•
Let the bread and cakes defrost at room temperature.
•
For soups or other liquids, defrost the bag directly in warm water until the content is
completely warm. To defrost at room temperature or in a double saucepan, cut a corner
of the bag to release vacuum and to free the vapour.
•
Consume food as soon as it is defrosted. Do not freeze leftovers once again.
Vacuum packing of packed foods
•
Many foods, such as cheese or meat, are sold vacuum packed. After these packs
have been opened, they can be vacuum packed once again to maintain their taste
and freshness.
ATTENTION!
Packed foods must always be consumed within the expiration date specified on
the original package. When vacuum packed the second time, they must be treated
with the utmost care and hygiene.
Suggestions for vacuum packaging
•
When vacuum packaging foods with sharp edges, such as bones or spaghetti,
strengthen the corners with paper napkins to avoid damaging the bag.
•
Use storage containers to keep fragile foods such as berries, rusks or biscuits from
crumbling or breaking in the vacuum package.
•
A great variety of objects can be vacuum packed. For example, camping supplies,
such as clean matches, first aid boxes and clothing can be kept dry and clean.
Emergency triangles are always ready for use. Pipe tobacco can be preserved.
Oxidation of silver and jewellery is prevented by vacuum packing.
