Thank you for purchasing the Cook’s Companion
Ò
IntelliBags. Your IntelliBags
will perform best when used as intended. To ensure the best performance of your
items, please consistently follow these instructions.

INTELLIBAGS
•To open the IntelliBags, gently pull apart the two sides at the center of the top
opening.
•To stand your bags upright, insert one hand into the bag and spread the two
sides in opposite directions so the bottom material is flattened. The
IntelliBags bags should now stand upright on flat surfaces.
•When storing fruits and vegetables at room temperature, it is recommended
that you do not seal your bags completely. The bags should be kept open by
approximately ½ an inch for optimum storing conditions, which may help your
produce stay fresher for longer.
•When storing solid foods at room temperature, it is recommended that you
only fill your bag up to 80% of full capacity. When storing liquids in the
refrigerator or freezer, it is recommended that you only fill your bag up to
70% of full capacity.
•Your bags should be sealed completely for storage inside refrigerators and
freezers.
GETTING STARTED
•Remove all packaging and labels before use.
•With proper use, your IntelliBags are reusable up to 10 different times,
depending on the items you are storing.
•When reusing your bags, it is recommended that you store the same type of
food in that particular bag (e.g. Bag used for bananas can be reused with
bananas, etc.) to avoid cross-contamination.
•Please note: Possible staining may occur with highly acidic or color-rich foods,
such as tomato sauce.

•Once you have filled the bags as desired, you can close the bags by applying
pressure along the top pressure seal.
•For use inside microwaves, your bags should be left open approximately ½
an inch in order to release hot air.
•You should not use the IntelliBags in the microwave if they contain food with
high oil content.
•Never use the IntelliBags in the microwave for longer than 1 minute at a
time. If contents are not to your desired temperature, wait 1 minute before
microwaving again.
•Always use caution and handle your bags with care when they contain hot
food/liquid.
•When cooking or reheating in a pot, there should be liquid surrounding the
bag so there is no direct contact with the pot itself. Do not use the bags in a
dry pot, as this can cause damage to the bags and your cookware.
•You should not exceed a medium boil or 212°F when you are cooking or
reheating with your IntelliBags on the stove.
HELPFUL TIPS
•It is not recommended to rinse or wash produce prior to storing inside of
your bags. Waiting to wash your produce until right before cooking/eating
will help to preserve its freshness.
•If you find moisture builds inside the bags when storing food, you may
periodically dry the bags and the items inside for best results.
CLEANING YOUR COOK’S COMPANION
