In the Australian climate, keeping food fresh is a challenge. Whether you're dealing with the humidity of Queensland or simply trying to make the most of bulk meat buys from your local butcher or supermarket, the Vac-U-Seal system provides an airtight barrier that prevents spoilage and keeps pantry pests like moths at bay.
When you seal your fresh fruit and vegetables in Vac-U-Seal Vacuum Sealer Containers using our Vacuum Sealer Wand, you’re removing the one ingredient that causes food to ripen and bacteria to grow.
Take an avo for example – once it’s sliced open, it’s brown within a day. By taking out the oxygen, you’re slowing that spoilage process right down and helping your food stay naturally fresh for longer.
Please note that Vac-U-Seal Containers are compatible with the Vac-U-Seal Wand only (included in this set), and not compatible with any other models or brands.

1. Place food in container and close the lid. Make sure side handles are clipped down to seal the lid.
2. Set the date dial on the container lid to record your storage date before putting your food in the fridge or freezer.
3. Align the nozzle of the Vacuum Sealer with the dark green button in the centre of the container lid and switch the vacuum on.
4. Wait for the white pressure button to pop down. Remove the vacuum sealer as soon as the container is sealed to avoid distortion.
5. Release the air from the container by lifting the air valve until the pressure indicator lifts. Take off the lid by unclipping the sides.
For the best seal, always ensure the edge of the bag is clean and dry before inserting it into the machine. If you are sealing moist foods like marinated steaks, try pre-freezing them for 20 minutes first to prevent liquids from being sucked into the vacuum chamber.
Q: Can I reuse the Vac-U-Seal bags?
A: Yes, many vacuum sealer bags can be washed and reused, especially if they were used for dry goods like bread or crackers. However, for food safety reasons, it is recommended to discard bags that previously held raw meat or fish.
Q: Can I vacuum seal liquids like soup?
A: It is best to freeze liquids in a container or a bag first until they are solid. Once frozen, you can vacuum seal them into a block for long-term, leak-proof storage.
Q: Does vacuum sealing prevent freezer burn?
A: Absolutely. Freezer burn is caused by air coming into contact with food. By removing 100% of the air, the Vac-U-Seal prevents ice crystals from forming, keeping your meat and vegetables tasting fresh for years.
Q: Are the bags BPA-free?
A: Most high-quality sealer sets, including the Vac-U-Seal, use BPA-free, multi-layer plastic that is safe for food contact, sous-vide cooking, and boiling.
Q: Can I seal delicate items like potato chips?
A: To avoid crushing delicate items, you can use the "pulse" function (if available) or stop the vacuuming process manually once enough air is removed, but before the bag compresses the contents.
