VACUUM AND FREEZING: THE PERFECT COUPLE

We already had the chance to see which are the advatages of the vacuum technique and the reasons why we suggest you to buy a machine for your restaurant (http://www.intercom-vacuum.it/en/index/blog/show/5-good-reasons-to-have-a-vacuum-packaging-machine-in-your-restaurant.html) or for home use (http://www.intercom-vacuum.it/en/index/blog/show/5-good-reasons-to-buy-a-vacuum-machine-for-your-home-kitchen.html) but we never talked about the possibility of freezing products which are already in vacuum.

Have you ever tried to freeze fresh products or vegetables and after that you found them covered with ice? This is due to the humidity contained inside the package.

This won’t happen anymore if will you use both vacuum and freezing techniques together!

The low temperature of the freezer and the absence of air due to the vacuum process will allow you to preserve fresh products longer both in terms of shape and of organolpetic properties: the products deterioration will slow down and the shelf life of food will be extended from some months to even a year.

Here below you can find some tipps which will let you take advantage of these combined techniques:

• For hamburgers of minced meat: use an oval container and divide the layers with some tinfoil. When you decide to eat them, you can cook them directly after getting them out of the freezer without having to wait for them to be completely defrosted.
• For fresh pasta: put it in the fridge for half an hour waiting it to be dry and then put it the freezer
• For breaded cutlet: beat an egg with some salt and pfeffer. Put the cutlet in the egg and then in the bread. Only after that, you can put them in vacuum.
• For all the other meat: put it in vacuum after washing it in order not to have to to wait for them to be defrosted when you decide to use it.

The technique of freezing products already in vacuum represents a saving in terms of money and food waste and it is really important for the health as well because it allows you to eat healthier food.
