The Elite II vacuum packing machine is part of a new complete food storage
system exclusive to Juiceland and has been designed to provide the
consumer with commercial quality food storage at home. Vacuum
packing is a process whereby the air is completely removed from a
special vacuum bag or vacuum container in order to protect the food
from the harmful effects of contact with oxygen which increases the
speed at which foods deteriorate, thereby keeping your food fresher
for up to 5 times longer while storing it naturally. Here are just
some of the amazing results we have experienced: Fresh Salads 14
days; Fresh Strawberries up to 14 days; Raw Meat 9 days.
The Elite II vacuum packer removes the air out of the specially designed
5 ply food safe bags or the optional vacuum containers and then
forms a strong seal to keep the air out - resulting in an oxygen free
zone. Particularly useful in the domestic kitchen, it can be used to
seal fresh produce to increase its shelf life by up to 5 times longer
than conventional storage methods - making ideal for the once a week
shopper or when you have an abundance of seasonal produce you can't
eat all at once.
Partial Vacuum or Seal Only
The Elite II vacuum packer allows you to stop the vacuum process
at any given point which is useful when vacuum packing delicate produce,
as the vacuum pump is strong enough to crush a can when placed in the
bag. It is also acts as a vacuum sealer so you are able to seal bags
without vacuuming, this is useful when using the cut to fit rolls of
bags - as you can seal one end of the cut bag and then vacuum seal at
the other end when you have placed your produce inside. This vacuum
sealer function is also handy if you have any opened bags of crisps,
pasta or coffee that you want to reseal to keep them fresh.
Sous Vide
Another use for a vacuum packing machine is on Sous Vide cooking,
whereby uncooked food is placed in the vacuum bag then sealed and then
slowly cooked in a pan of simmering water or a specialised water bath.
This produces superb results with meats such as lamb which come out
so tender that it falls apart at the slightest touch and vegetables
taste wonderful as no moisture is allowed to penetrate like when boiling
or steaming. A cheats form of Sous Vide is 'boil in the bag' - by preparing
a meal in advance and then sealing the cooked food in the vacuum bags,
you can gently reheat the food in a pan of water when you are ready
to eat. This is a great dinner part trick as you can spend more time
with your guests and they'll never taste the difference - in fact most
people comment on how flavoursome the food is as it is allowed to further
marinate inside the bag.
Instant Marinating
Place food such as meat inside the bag or container with your favourite
marinade and then vacuum seal - the vacuum process opens the pores in
the meat which allows the marinade to penetrate more quickly allowing
you to achieve amazing in results in less than 20 minutes.
Vacuum Bags
The Freshield vacuum packing bags and rolls have special channels
that enable efficient and complete removal of air, eliminating air pockets
around the food. They have a very strong 5 ply construction making an
effective barrier to oxygen and moisture, they are also boilable, freezer
and microwave safe and can also be reused. The vacuum bags are pre-cut
and available in 2 popular sizes or you can buy vacuum rolls which you
cut to fit to your required length, the rolls are also available in
2 different seal lengths.
Vacuum Containers (Optional)
The Elite II not only seals bags and rolls but comes with a handy
vacuum tube to connect the vacuum sealer to the optional Freshield
Vacuum Storage Containers. This allows for the storage of different
types of produce and gives easy access to foods like biscuits, cakes
and nuts whilst keeping them fresh. Also great for delicate produce
like strawberries and other soft foods. The vacuum containers can also
be used with the optional Freshield hand-held electric
CanVac or
manual vacuum pump.
Other Uses
Vacuum packing can also be used for none-food applications including
preserving important documents, old photographs and jewellery.
