Unfreezing of foodstuffs packed in the vacuum bags
•
The vacuum packed foodstuffs like meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, or other fragile
products, may be slowly unfrozen on the lowest refrigerator shelf.
•
Bread and tortilla should be unfrozen in the room temperature.
•
Soups and other liquid meals should be heated directly in the vacuum bag in the
water bath until they are hot. Before unfreezing in the room temperature or heating
in the water bath one corner of the vacuum bag should be cut in order to reduce
vacuum and allow for successive steam outlet.
•
The foodstuffs should be consumed soon after unfreezing. Never freeze them again.
Repacking of unpacked foodstuffs
•
Many food products, like cheese or meat products, are sold in the trade vacuum
packages. Their taste and freshness may be also maintained after packing by
repacking in the vacuum bags.
CAUTION!
The foodstuffs removed from the package must be absolutely consumed before
their expiry date, specified on the original package.
After repacking they should be stored with maximum caution and hygiene.
Guidelines for the vacuum packing
•
In case of foodstuffs with sharp edges or shapes, e.g. bones or dried noodle, such
places should be padded with the paper towel in order to avoid the bag damage.
•
To avoid crumbling of fragile foodstuffs during the vacuum packing, use the
containers for storage.
•
vacuum packing assures protection for many various objects. Using this device it is
possible to pack camping accessories such as matches, first aid kits, maps, and other
objects which should remain dry. The warning triangle, once packed, will be always
ready to be used. The pipe tobacco may be stored for a long time. Also the dull bloom
on silver and other collectible items may be eliminated through the vacuum packing.
