Air Out. Freshness In.
Why Vacuum Seal?
If you're looking to preserve food, vacuum sealing takes air out of the equation. Air can cause oxidation, robbing food of its fresh taste. It can cause dehydration, which hardens foods and promotes freezer burn. It can also expedite mold and bacteria growth. A secure vacuum seal protects your food against all of this, keeping it nice and fresh.

How Long Will Food Stay Fresh?
The Seal-a-Meal system keeps food fresh for up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. Here are a few examples:
- In the Freezer: it's always difficult to keep meat, especially fish, fresh. Seal-a-Meal keeps fatty fish like salmon and sea trout fresh for up to one year.
- In the Refrigerator: anyone who's ever stored berries knows how quickly they turn. The Seal-a-Meal System keeps berries at their best for 1-2 weeks.
- In the Pantry: your favorite cookie recipe makes three dozen--too many to eat before they go stale. The Seal-a-Meal System keeps homemade cookies oven-fresh for 3-6 weeks.
How Does It Work?
The sealer couldn't be easier to use, with its easy press/hold & release system. Grab a back, place your food inside, and it's vacuum sealed with the touch of a button--the sealing strip provides and airtight seal. An indicator light lets you know when it's ready, and you can cancel the process at any time, if necessary.
When you're done, cleanup is also a breeze. The sealer features a vacuum trough to catch overflow liquids, and has a dishwasher safe drip tray treated with antimicrobial protection. A bag kit is also included to get you started, and the sealer works with Seal-a-Meal and FoodSaver heat seal bags and rolls.
