Advantages of vacuum packaging

Food remains fresh for much longer in a vacuum. Our vacuum shelf life table shows a comparison of vacuumed foods with non-vacuumed foods. In addition, vacuumed foods are optimally protected against drying out, taste transmission and freezer burn. Marination in a vacuum saves time, protects the food to be grilled and provides for particularly intensive flavoring. Storage in a vacuum also possible; it saves space and is hygienic.

Sous vide cooking – cooking in a vacuum – is an absolute trend. Empty vacuum bags require very little storage space and are easy to store. Ready-cooked meals can be heated in a water bath or microwave oven directly in the vacuum bag. Hint: when using a microwave oven, carefully puncture the bag a couple of times.
