Note: All kinds of vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, caulifl ower, kale, turnips, etc.)
release gases during storage (it is a natural process). Therefore, blanched vegetables must always be stored in
the freezer.
IMPORTANT: Never use vacuum packaging to store mushrooms.
More tips for vacuum packaging of leafy vegetables:
For best results, store leafy vegetables in Concept Fresh VD8100 and VD8200 canisters. First, wash the veg-
etables properly and dry them with a paper towel or in a centrifuge. Place the dried leaves in a canister and
remove the air. Store the canister in the refrigerator.
Vacuum packaging of fruit:
Follow the same steps as in the case of vegetables, only without blanching.
You can freeze individual portions for future use or store a small quantity in the refrigerator for quick con-
sumption. We recommend storing fruit in Concept Fresh canisters.
Vacuum packaging of bread:
It is recommended to vacuum pack bread in Concept Fresh canisters, as they are able to retain its original
shape. When using bags, pre-freeze the bread for 1 to 2 hours or until completely frozen.
Vacuum packaging of coff ee and powdered food:
To prevent the penetration of small particles of food into the vacuum pump, insert a coff ee fi lter or a paper
towel into the top part of the bag or canister to prevent the fi ne material from being sucked up. You can also
place food in the bag or canister in its original packaging.
Vacuum packaging of liquids:
For vacuum packaging of liquids in original bottles (wine, oil, etc.) it is recommended to use the original Set
of wine stoppers – VD8300. If these stoppers cannot be used, pre-freeze the liquid food in a canister of a suit-
able shape and size before packing.
Before use, cut off one corner of the bag and defrost in the microwave or in water at 75 °C.
Vacuum packaging of non-food items:
The Concept Fresh vacuum packaging system can also be used to protect non-food materials and items
from oxidation, corrosion and moisture. When vacuum packaging these items, follow the steps used for food
packaging and use the original Concept Fresh bags or canisters.
When vacuum packaging items with sharp points, wrap the points with a soft material to prevent puncturing
of the bag.
Vacuum packaging is an ideal solution for trips to the nature, camping and hiking to pack equipment such as
clothing, matches, electronics, maps and food that needs to be kept dry. You can also pack ice, which turns
into drinking water after melting.
