Vacuum Sealed
Containers
Vacuum Sealed Containers
protect your food from air
and moisture loss, the
enemies of fresh food.
Vacuum sealing locks air
out and seals freshness
in, preserving the taste
and nutritional value of
stored foods.
Please Note:
Your FoodSaver®Vacuum
Sealed Containers are
intended for storing and
reheating fully cooked
foods, soups, sauces and
more! Tomato-based
sauces contain a pigment
called lycopene, which is
not water-soluble and
causes stains to porous
materials, including
most plastics. This only
affects the appearance
of the product and not
the performance.

you enjoy the convenience

Food Sealer and Container
are sitting on a at, dry
surface and follow the
instructions below:

least one inch between
the contents and the top

rmly on all corners to
ensure lid is sealed.

Helpful Hints &Tips
Hints & Tips
1. FoodSaver®Vacuum
Sealed Containers are
great for vacuum sealing
pre-made meals, leftovers
and healthy portion sizes.
2. Make sure there are no
crumbs or food debris
on the Container Lid or
Valve, as gaps or an
improper seal will prevent
air from being removed.
3. Do not overll the
Container Base with
food or liquid.
4. Store the vacuum
sealed Container in
an upright position.
5. Easily microwave foods
in your Container, simply
remove the Lid and
place the Container
Base in your microwave
6. Some deformation of
the Container base may
occur during vacuuming.
This is normal and does
not effect performance.
7. Do not vacuum package
soft cheese, mushrooms,
onions or garlic.
8. Containers should not
be used in freezer.
9. Cruciferous vegetables
such as broccoli,
cauliower, cabbage
and Brussels sprouts
give off gases when they
are stored. Vegetables
should be blanched
before vacuum packaging.
This process stops the
enzyme action that
could lead to loss of
avor, color and texture.
IMPORTANT:
Vacuum packaging is
NOT a substitute for
refrigeration or freezing.
Any perishable foods
that require refrigeration
must still be refrigerated
(or frozen in FoodSaver®
Bags) after vacuum
packaging.
