Why should you vacuum seal?

Some foods must be preserved in an airless environment, usually in airtight packaging in vacuum sealer bags, to prevent microbe growth. When vacuum sealing, most of the germs in the bag are ejected as the air is removed, resulting in a very safe and sanitary form of storage.

Vacuum sealing also aids in the preservation of product quality and size. For example, in meat products such as steaks, the blood cannot escape, and the meat does not dry out, allowing the product weight to be maintained. Food can be vacuum-packed to increase its shelf life by three to five times.

Before sous vide cooking, ingredients must be vacuum sealed. Sub vide literally means “cooking under a vacuum.

Fresh or sliced meats, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits, salads, and cheeses can be stored for several days without losing quality. Food waste can be reduced by pre-portioning soups, sauces, and finished dishes. All of these advantages of vacuum sealer bags contribute to greater kitchen efficiency. Cooked and raw food can be stored hygienically in vacuum pouches in the refrigerator or conveniently transported between sites with minimal risk of cross-contamination.
