Defrosting food in bags
To defrost vacuum-sealed food such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables or other delicate foodstuffs, place it on the lowest
shelf in the fridge to defrost slowly. Bread and focaccia should be left at room temperature, while soups or other liquid
foods should be immersed in hot water still in the vacuum bags until they reach the right temperature. When you leave
food at room temperature or heat it in a bain-marie, make sure you cut one corner of the bag to let the steam escape.
When the food has been defrosted, it must be consumed immediately. Do not re-freeze it.
Repackaging pre-packed food
Many foodstuffs, like cheese and meat, are sold pre-packed in factory-prepared vacuum bags. To retain the flavour
and freshness of these foods, repackage them in Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
opened.
Pre-packed foods must always be consumed by the use-by date shown on the original package. They must also be
handled with the greatest care and hygiene when repackaging.
Useful tips
o For food with tapered ends or sharp edges, like bones and spaghetti, pad the edges with paper towels to
prevent perforating the bag.
o In order to avoid the suction of liquids when vacuuming very damp food (like e. g. meat or blanched vegetables)
you can additionally wrap it in cling film or place a kitchen tissue inside at the front edge of the bag so that
escaping liquid is soaked up.
o To prevent delicate food from crumbling or crushing (biscuits, berries etc.), we recommend using the special
Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
o There are many non-food products which can be vacuum-sealed, such as camping equipment including
matches, first aid kits and clean, dry clothes. You can even preserve the emergency triangle in the car. Also, you
can extend the storage time of pipe tobacco. Silverware and collections can also be vacuum-sealed to protect
the items against oxidation etc.
E) Using Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
ATTENTION: Do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they could implode under the vacuum
pressure and may cause injury.
Freezing food in containers
To freeze food in plastic containers use only Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
receptacles, use tempered glass suitable for freezer temperatures.
Preparing food for vacuum sealing in containers
Vacuum sealing in containers is ideal for products that you use frequently. Dried foodstuffs like pasta, rice, flour,
sugar, crisps, savouries or biscuits, and pet food, will maintain all their shape and freshness.
o Salad foods, vegetables and herbs can be cleaned for the whole week and kept in a Rommelsbacher Magic

Vac
container. They will remain firm and fresh. To absorb excess moisture, fold a paper towel and place it on
the bottom of the container.
ATTENTION: Liquids must be cooled before vacuum sealing. Hot liquids will expand and leak from the
container during depressurising (bubbling up).
o Food in powder or granule form can be covered with a paper towel before vacuum sealing. This will prevent the
powder or granules from getting into the vacuum paths or being deposited in the vacuum cap seal.
o Oil used once for frying can be filtered, cooled, vacuum-sealed in a Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
kept in the fridge. This will enable you to use the oil again at least once, since it has been preserved in an
airless and cold environment, thereby retaining its characteristics. Pantry items like flour, rice and cake mixes
stay fresh for longer if they are vacuum-sealed. Nuts and condiments retain their flavour and will not become
rancid.
Marinating food in containers
Use the square Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
To marinade meat, poultry or fish, pierce the surface of the food and place it in Rommelsbacher Magic Vac
container, covered with the marinade of your choice. Vacuum-seal the container and cool in the fridge for at least 20
minutes. The food will be as tasty as if it had been left to marinade overnight!
