How to Use a Food Saver Sealer
Sealing your food in a bag is one of the best ways to preserve it and extend your food's shelf life. One way to seal and preserve your food is to use a sealer such as a FoodSaver sealer. The device allows you to seal your food in a vacuum. Very little air is left in the bag and this helps the food maintain its nutritious value and flavors for a longer period of time.

Tips & Warnings
As a general rule, if the food comes from someplace cold, such as a refrigerator or a freezer, it should be placed back there when sealed.
Always use the side of the bag that is not already sealed to insert food. Have the vacuum seal that part of the bag.
Wait 20 seconds after sealing your bag before sealing another FoodSaver bag, or you will melt the rubber sealer.
