A vacumizing machine is a kitchen appliance used to keep food fresh longer and prevent food waste. The device works by removing air from the package, slowing the growth of bacteria and mold. As a result, food keeps longer and retains its flavor and nutrients. Vacuum sealers are often used in the hospitality industry, butcher shops, fish stores and supermarkets to keep food fresh for longer. Home consumers are also increasingly using vacumizers to preserve and marinate food and prepare meals.

With a vacuuming machine you can pack different types of food. This keeps the food fresh for longer and you can store it without spoiling it. Some examples of food that you can vacuum are:

Meat: raw meat such as beef, pork, chicken, fish and cooked meat

Vegetables: fresh vegetables such as lettuce, carrots, broccoli and green beans

Fruit: Ripe fruit such as apples, pears and berries

Cheese: hard cheeses like Gouda and cheddar

Coffee beans and loose tea

Ultimately, not everything can be done in the vacuum machine. There are some foods that you should not vacuum due to health risks or loss of quality. So before you get started, it is wise not to use the food below.

Soft fruit: soft fruit such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries can crush through the vacuum suction power and thereby damage

Mushrooms are porous and can lose their structure through vacuuming

Fresh garlic naturally contains bacteria that can grow under oxygen -free conditions

Cooked eggs in a vacuum machine can get too much pressure, so that the eggs can crack and there may be dangerous bacteria

Carbonated drink in a vacuum packaging can ensure that the bottle or the can is bursting and the drink is lost
