Vacuum: the best way to preserve food.

Preserving food has always been a human necessity: the first forms of preservation consisted in smoking, drying or salting. Dehydration, in fact, allowed to preserve food in order to give it a "new life" when it was going to be consumed.

Today one of the most used techniques in the food and domestic field is vacuum packing. Let's learn more about this system.

The technique of vacuum

Vacuum packingallows to create a "vacuum", that is the absence of oxygen, inside a food container or bag. Most of the bacteria and molds that attack food need oxygen to survive. By removing the "air" from these life forms we can extend the life of the food

Themethod used is the suction of air from special containers that ensure this condition without time limits.

In addition to extending the life of food, this type of preservation leaves intact: the freshness, taste, aroma and properties of food.

Moreover, there will be a considerable reduction of food waste and, therefore, an economic saving but also a saving of time. For example, you can cook on holidays, when you have more free time, what you need to consume during the week.

What about the considerable rationalization of space and the limitation of bad odors in the fridge? A whole other life, right? In fact, vacuum containers such as those by Fresh & Save Enfinigy glass are designed to take up little space in the fridge and to be easily transportable. You can take them with you to consume meals wherever you want.

How to make vacuum

To "make the vacuum" are commercially available various types of sets, such as "Glass Fresh & Save Enfinigy" also available in our shop, which includes:

1 vacuum pump,

2 glass containers (also available in plastic)

2 vacuum bags size S

2 vacuum bags size M

The containers in the Fresh & Save starter set are made of glass (or plastic) for vacuuming and the four bags are reusable. Simply insert the convenient pump into the valve and, with the push of a button, extract the air from the containers and bags in seconds.

Not only that, the pump will automatically stop once enough vacuum is generated! And that's not all, thanks to the ZWILLING Culinary World app, you'll be able to scan the QR code on the containers, and vacuum pouches, and receive a reminder when it's time to eat them.
