It is difficult to predict how long foods will remain durable after vacuum packing since the preservation depends on other factors such as the age and condition of the food when it entered the vacuum pack. However, it is established that vacuum packed foods can keep fresh for up 3 to 5 times longer when used in conjunction with refrigeration. The table below sets out some indications of the shelf life of vacuum packed foods kept in the refrigerator at +3/+5 oC.

All our vacuum sealers, with the exception of the Vacu-Seal? Cordless Handheld Vacuum Sealer, are technically described as "external" vacuum packing machines, i.e. food and others items are not placed in to a vacuum chamber area inside a machine but placed into an external bag from which air is extracted. The item is placed inside of one of our special embossed vacuum bags and the front end of the bag is placed into a small gasket area under the lid at the front of the appliance.

Vacuum sealing has become an increasingly popular method of extending food life without adversely affecting food quality. However, certain common sense food safety principles do apply. For example: It is always advisable that poor quality foods should never be vacuum packed in attempt to extend shelf life, nor should vacuum sealing be used solely as a means of perpetual conservation of leftover foods. Vacuum packing is never a substitute for chilling or freezing. See similar questions...

Our vacuum bags and rolls are boilable up to 70­­­­­? C, i.e. boil-in-the-bag, which is professionally called "sous vide" or "under vacuum". There are tangible culinary benefits to cooking under a vacuum for longer period of time at lower temperatures, notably in terms of taste and colour.

The vacuum application process involves atomizing a material and then depositing the particles on a chosen object. In this case, we are atomizing an acrylic latex primer at a controlled rate to produce a coat of primer that is consistent in thickness and complete coverage over the entire length of our boards. Because acrylic primers work by creating a flexible protective film that bonds at the cellular level with the substrate, this application is unsurpassed in performance. See similar questions...

Vacuum sealing is great for vegetables and coffee, but is pointless for tobacco. Tobacco needs some air to be locked in with it , at least to begin with, in order for it to age. A perfectly vacuum sealed container will likely keep the tobacco "fresh," but it may not really age the way we expect it to. I'm more than a little suspicious about the heavy plastic "bags" used by most of these machines. See similar questions...

HEPA (pronounced HEP-ahh) is short for High-Efficiency Particulate Air which is a filter capable of removing particles of 0.3 microns or larger from air at 99.97 per cent or better efficiency. You'll see HEPA filters on air-purifying systems, power tools, and vacuums, both industrial and residential. When lead paint is disturbed (by opening and closing a window, for instance, or by sanding or scraping, or by the weather), the paint deteriorates by turning into extremely tiny particles of dust.
