Foodsaver food vacuum sealers, bags and containers As a nation, we throw away millions of tonnes of food each year. Leading the fight against food waste is Foodsaver, a top US brand known as the original producer of consumer food vacuum sealers. For over 30 years, Foodsaver has helped people around the world reduce how much food they waste with its innovative food storage system, which is designed to keep food fresher for longer. But that’s not all: food vacuum sealers have an array of benefits, saving you money and space in the kitchen. And they can keep both raw food and home-cooked or restaurant-bought leftovers fresh for the future, even if that’s weeks or months away. What are the benefits of food vacuum sealers? Food vacuum sealers are purpose-built gadgets that help preserve food of all kinds, for significantly longer than many conventional types of packaging. Foodsaver’s vacuum sealers are suitable for packing and storing all types of food, including cooked or raw meat and fish. They’re easy to use, too - just pop the ingredients into a Foodsaver bag, position it in the machine and follow a couple of simple instructions to seal the bag. By removing excess air from food packaging, food vacuum sealers can help you save space in the freezer, refrigerator or cupboards. And by keeping food fresh for longer, the handy gadgets can help you cut back on food waste. The average UK family throws away £60 worth of food each month, so the savings could soon add up. Up to five times fresher Foodsaver’s vacuum sealers create an airtight seal that locks in nutrients for freshness while locking out air and moisture. The innovative sealing system helps preserve food for much longer than traditional storage options - up to five times longer, in fact. With ordinary food storage options, the shelf life of food is relatively limited. Once frozen, raw meat might last for three to six months in the freezer, but with a Foodsaver vacuum sealer, that same meat could stay fresh for up to six years. The very same gadget can seal other types of food, too: vegetables can stay fresh in the freezer for two to three years and even bread for a year or two. It’s no wonder more than 20 million Foodsaver vacuum sealers have been sold worldwide over the past three decades! Foodsaver bags, rolls and containers For the freshest results every time, use Foodsaver’s vacuum storage bags and rolls in conjunction with your vacuum sealer. Unlike other types of freezer bags, Foodsaver’s specially designed zip-lock bags can be filled and used with the vacuum sealer to remove excess air. And because they’re sealed with a zipper, the bags can be re-sealed after use. Foodsaver replacement rolls are also designed to be sealed with the vacuum sealer. They’re perfect for storing food in the fridge or freezer but can be used in the microwave - or placed directly into a pan of simmering water for extra convenient cooking. There’s even a dedicated range of food preserving storage boxes from Foodsaver that may look like any other containers, but aren’t. Used with a vacuum sealer, Foodsaver’s containers become airtight to lock in freshness for longer.
