Right after the ordering and shipping information in the catalog you can download here (just select "Catalog" and then click on the image of the catalog), you’ll find all you need for preserving foods in vacuum sealer bags, finding the perfect cooking scales, and much, much more! Used both in home kitchens and commercially, the vacuum food sealer and bags protect vegetables (and many other items, by the way) from the degrading effects of freezer burn or oxygenation. Shop and order your own vacuum food sealer here, or explore the site for all of the food preservation guides, equipment and parts you need to get the most from the fruits of your labor. Or see below for more information about freezer burn and how you can prevent it.

Preserving Foods from Freezer Burn

When air reaches food in the freezer, sublimation occurs. This is when water molecules in the food move to the surface and form ice crystals, and it happens when the presence of oxygen allows for water evaporation. Water can evaporate at all temperatures, even freezing (have you even seen a tray of shrunken ice cubes?)

When preserving foods in the freezer, all oxygen should be kept away from the item so that the water molecules won’t evaporate and crystallize on the surface of the meat, vegetable, fruit or other item. When foods are properly packaged, the result is called "local homeostasis of humidity." In other words, the moisture content in the food product maintains an even, stable level of humidity, and that’s good.

While freezer burn makes foods unpleasant to eat, giving them an “off” flavor and rough texture, it doesn’t make food unsafe to eat. You can simply cut off the part of the food that has freezer burn, in most cases.

Of course, if you vacuum seal your food this is no longer an issue at all! Look for this and other fruit and vegetable processing machinery right here!
