![]() Soft foods, like blueberries, may need to be frozen before sealing so they don’t turn to jam. NO marinated meats (unless you have the liquid barrier accessory). Don’t seal anything with liquid, which will clog up the machine. Flour (be careful-you need to manually stop the sealer before any tiny flour particles start to get sucked into the mechanisms)īut there are some things you can’t vacuum seal-consider yourself warned.Īs mentioned, use caution with flour, cornmeal, sugar-anything fine and particulate. ![]() For items I keep in the fridge-like fresh fruit, herbs, and prepped meals-I turn to the vacuum storage containers. They work wonders for preventing freezer burn. I mostly reserve the bags for things I store in the freezer-like ripe bananas and the spelt flour I bought too much of. ![]() When there’s no more oxygen left to suck, the vacuum turns off automatically and you press down on the container’s red belly button to seal it tight. Press the button on the pump, and a little motor whirs while it sucks the oxygen out of the container. But this is a whole system, so Zwilling envisions this being your one and only, I guess.) Both the containers and bags have these round plastic belly buttons that you align with the vacuum pump’s circular rubber nozzle. (That part is annoying because I hate having mismatched containers. To use this vacuum-sealer machine, you’ll first need the reusable vacuum bags and/or containers-which come in plastic or glass-that Zwilling makes to go along with the vacuum pump. How does the Zwilling Fresh & Save vacuum sealer work? Depending on the container size, your food will be vacuumed sealed in about 30 seconds. It’s automatic, so you don’t have to hold the button down for it to work-just press it once and it’ll quietly suck the air out of your bag or container and shut itself off once all of the air has been removed. Because the pump only has one button on it, it is also incredibly intuitive to use. ![]() But don’t let its size fool you-this compact device has all the power of a countertop vacuum-sealer machine in handheld form, and I’ve used it on everything from loaf cakes to ham hocks.

It even sounds fresh!Īs far as food vacuum sealers go, Zwilling’s Fresh & Save Pump is small (7.5" long by 2" wide-about the size of a pepper grinder), lightweight, and completely cordless.

Zwilling makes vacuum-sealable bento-style lunchboxes too (including one for kids with a dinosaur motif), and you can-and should-get the vacuum wine sealer set so you can save half-empty bottles of Cab Franc for later in the week. You can also purchase all the items à la carte if you’d like-a big plus if you need only small bags or want different-size containers. The Zwilling Fresh & Save vacuum starter set, which is available with either plastic or borosilicate glass containers, includes a vacuum pump, a medium vacuum container, a large vacuum container, two small vacuum-sealer bags, and two medium vacuum-sealer bags. Careful with liquids: If you suck teriyaki sauce into your vacuum pump, it’s game over.It’s a whole system-the pump must be used with Zwilling’s reusable plastic bags and containers.
