There's more to these handy FoodSavers than you think!

Save time and money with FoodSaver, America's #1 Selling Brand of Home Vacuum Packaging systems. FoodSaver home vacuum packaging systems offer a two-step process of removing air and sealing it out, so that your food stays fresh up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. By keeping food fresh you eliminate freezer burn. Meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit will stay fresh in the freezer for months, even years. Make an entire plate of food or vacuum package last night's pizza to eat months later. The taste difference between just-cooked meals and leftovers will be indistinguishable when you vacuum package and freeze.

But, as I've been discovering, there are lots of ways to use your FoodSaver that don't have to do with food! LOL What a fascinating and handy little appliance!

Top Tips For Using Your FoodSaver!

  • Cook less often, yet always have homemade, healthy meals; Since food stays fresh longer, meals and snacks can be cooked and measured when you have time and when you're focused. When cooking, make a little extra, portion the extra into individual or family size servings, and freeze. You can write calories, fat grams, points or whatever you're counting right on the bag.
  • Avoid portion distortion; Take the guesswork out of eating. Store food in the appropriate portion sizes ahead of time.
  • Just heat and eat; FoodSaver® Bags can be used in the microwave or dropped in a pot of simmering water. You can prepare an entire meal right on a microwaveable plate, vacuum package it and freeze. When you're ready to eat, simply vent the bag and place the plate in the microwave. Or you can freeze soup, stew or vegetables in the right portions, simmer the bag for a few minutes, and have a healthy dinner in minutes.
  • Save money, save time and get out of the kitchen; Enjoy the savings of bulk buying without worrying about freezer burn or waste. Throw away less food from the grocery store. Take advantage of buys on fresh, seasonal produce or specials at the market. Since food lasts longer, you'll save money and can treat yourself to that new outfit as a reward for losing weight. When you vacuum package food, you can spend less time in the kitchen and less time shopping. That means more time doing the things that count such as being with your family or getting exercise.

Your FoodSaver & Leftovers 

The biggest problem with leftovers: who wants to eat the same thing tomorrow? If you want to keep your leftovers delicious for next week or next month, just use a FoodSaver® appliance. Shop Foodsaver® Appliances. Click Here!
  1. First, divide leftovers into portions that will work for you: for meals, sandwiches or snacks.
  2. Put those servings directly into a FoodSaver® Bag. Or put them in a microwaveable serving dish and slip the entire dish into a FoodSaver® Bag. Vacuum package it.
  3. Pre-freeze soft foods such as breads, pies, dips, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, biscuits and cakes. That way, they'll hold their shape when vacuum packaged.
  4. Pre-freeze meat, fish and poultry for 1 to 2 hours before vacuum packaging to keep in the juices and to help guarantee a good seal.
  5. Re-heat by putting the bag directly in the microwave or simmering water. Enjoy!
