FoodSaver Appliances have a unique, patented design used in millions of households. Vacuum packaging is a two-step process of vacuuming and sealing. The powerful piston pump removes air quickly and creates a commercial-quality vacuum. The patented Vacuum Channel is designed with an extra-deep trough to catch overflow liquids and protect your appliance. The Sealing Strip has an easy-clean Non-stick Coating to seal the bag with a strong, airtight seal.
* Please note: vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning, refrigeration or freezing*

Air is the enemy of food freshness. The oxygen and moisture in air cause foods to degrade over time and lose flavor, texture and nutritional value. Conventional food storage methods such as plastic wrap and containers actually trap air inside with food. But the FoodSaver patented vacuum packaging process removes air from specially- designed bags and canisters and even your own cans, jars and bottles, then seals them airtight. It's proven technology that extends food freshness up to five times longer.
