Directions on How to Use an Oxygen Absorber Packet

When you make food ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator or freezer, it can often absorb other smells looming around and affect the way your stored items smells or tastes. Using oxygen absorbers for food storage essentially blocks odors naturally so you have fresh tasting food anytime you want it. Oxygen absorbers are most often used in conjunction with vacuum packaging, allowing your food to taste and smell as quality as possible.

Things You'll Need

• Food vacuum

Instructions

1. Place the food you want to preserve in bags. Follow manufacturer instructions to determine the proper bags to use with the appliance.

2. Place an oxygen absorber packet in with the food.

3. Suck out all of the air in the back using the food vacuum. Taking oxygen out of the bag will allow the food to be stored for later use. The oxygen absorber will prevent odors from permeating the food while its in storage.
