PREPARE MEALS IN ADVANCE

•Prepare large quantities of food, and then divide into smaller portions that work for you and your family. Seal in bags for tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.

•Easily reheat by placing bag directly in boiling water or microwave. To microwave, cut corner of bag to vent, and place on microwave safe dish.

KEEP LEFTOVERS AS FRESH AS THE DAY THEY WERE PREPARED

•After dinner, store leftovers in a Seal-a-Meal®bag, and keep in refrigerator or freezer for a later date.

MARINATE IN MINUTES

•Place food and favorite marinade in bag and vacuum seal for quick marinating.

PERFECT FOR FISHING AND HUNTING

•Use when fishing and hunting to keep your catch fresh until you’re ready to prepare them as a meal. Seal-a-Meal®Vacuum Food Sealer prevents freezer burn during extended periods of time in the freezer. Store fish and meats in the freezer immediately after sealing.

NOTE: DO NOT store vacuum sealed fish (smoked or raw) at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

IT’S NOT JUST FOR FOOD

•Store clothing in Seal-a-Meal®bags to prevent potential damage when stored in an attic or closet.

•Protect valuable documents by sealing them in an airtight Seal-a-Meal®bag.

•Place cardboard or some stiff material on both sides of your documents to ensure that they maintain their continuity and shape.

•Keep your belongings clean and dry during boating or camping outings. Simply seal your clothing or materials prior to your trip.
