Keep Food for Longer With This Gadget

18th April, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

In our age of slightly-stressed out families, it is hard to fix affordable, nutritious suppers for the family and still find time to savor them. Nourishing food is rather pricey, and tasty dishes require time and talent to fix. So, what should a hard-working parent do? Many things could be solved with a healthy shot of creativity and resourcefulness, and an excellent resource you will want to have in the kitchen is the Black & Decker Fresh-Guard Vacuum Sealer. Don’t forget to look at the Professional Vacuum Sealer.

Black & Decker’s vacuum sealer will prove itself a convenient machine for storing fresh or cooked food in any freezer. You simply are required to pour the food in the bag, position the bag against the vacuum seal, and push a button. The appliance begins to suck the unneeded air from inside the bag and secure that bag with an airtight seal. The vacuum method of storing food enables you to cook double volumes of delicious sauces and freeze portions for a future meal. You can also prepare casseroles beforehand and store them until later. If the food is previously cooked, you could drop the bag in boiling water or in a microwave and enjoy a delicious, homemade repast in a snap. Another good model is the Professional Vacuum Sealer.

The application of this appliance reaches far beyond protecting your dinner, however. Vacuum-packed cookies and breads will prove easier to package for those of us who ship “care packages” to adult offspring in college or military folks overseas. Vacuum bags are also quite effective storage containers for important certificates or mementos, since they are vacuum sealed and semi-rigid. Black & Decker vacuum sealed bags are also ideal for packing moisturizers or other toiletries in a suitcase – there is a greatly diminished potential of your clothing being covered in bubble bath when you unpack at your destination.

The Black & Decker vacuum sealer can also save a good deal of your money. Getting your groceries in large quantities is a method to shrink your grocery costs, although not if that food goes bad before your family can enjoy it. If you acquire vegetables or meats in bulk quantities and freeze portions of them for later, you will lower your food costs while still preparing the dishes your family is used to. This storage option also lengthens the shelf life of your frozen foods nearly 5 times longer than only wrapping them in freezer paper or storing them in the store packaging. Vacuum sealing your foods can preserve the flavors and remove all unneeded air, consequently removing the chance of freezer burn.

This easy to use and thrifty appliance is versatile, as well. This vacuum sealer is able to seal either manufactured bags or plastic rolls which are kept in canisters. While Black & Decker naturally would rather that you use their bags or plastic rolls, Black & Decker’s vacuum sealer is made to accommodate bags or other products made by quite a few well-known brands.

Feeding your spouse and children properly and on time can be a struggle for the most talented parent in this age. It’s nice to know, then, that Black & Decker will provide a convenient, economical and versatile kitchen gadget to allow you to reach that goal.
