Foods Storage Life Where to Store Remarks

Beef, Pork, Lamb, Poultry 2-3 years Freezer Pre-freeze moist foods before vacuum packaging. Alternatively, place a folded paper towel between the food and the end

of the bag to absorb excess liquid. Remember to leave 75mm of space after the towel to allow room for the seal to be

created. Note: Beef may appear darker after vacuum packaging due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an indication of

spoilage.

Minced Meat 1 year Freezer

Fish 2 years Freezer

Hard Cheeses (Cheddar, Parmesan, Edam, Gouda, etc.) 4-8 months Refrigerator To keep cheese fresh vacuum package it after each use. Make the bags extra long to allow 25mm for each new seal

required. NEVER vacuum package soft cheeses.

Asparagus, Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Green Beans, Peas, Corn, etc. 2-3 years Always store in the

freezer

Blanch vegetables until they are cooked but still crisp before packaging. Freeze before packaging. Separate during

IMPORTANT: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration

or freezing. Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still

be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging. To avoid possible

illness, do not reuse bags after storing raw meats, raw fish or greasy

foods. Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved or simmered.

Thawing and Reheating Vacuum Packaged Foods

FOODS INSIDE BAG CAN BE DEFROSTED BUT NOT REHEATED

IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.

Defrosting - Always thaw foods in a refrigerator or a microwave oven

— do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature.

Make sure to cut off the corner of the bag before placing it in the

microwave. We recommend that you place the bag on a microwave-

safe dish to avoid liquids from spilling out.

Reheating - To reheat foods in a microwave oven, remove it from bag

and place it on a microwave-safe dish.

You can also reheat foods in FoodSaver bags by placing them in

water at a low simmering temperature below 75°C (170°F). Make

sure the food is fully heated throughout.
