How To Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Universal Lids

FoodSaver Universal Lids give you the flexibility of vacuum packaging some foods in their original containers. They work on most metal cans and glass jars. They’re excellent for retaining the freshness of tomato and pasta sauces, coffee, mustards, and toppings. However, vacuum packaged canned foods still must be refrigerated to minimize micro-organism growth. If you are planning to store canned foods for more than a day, transferring foods from the can into a FoodSaver Bag, FoodSaver Canister, a glass, or a hard plastic container is recommended to prevent “off-flavor” from developing from the can.

CAUTION: FoodSaver Universal Lids are not to be used with thin glass, crystal, plastic, or aluminum containers. The vacuum force exerted by the Vac 1050 is very powerful and could implode a thin glass or a non-rigid container.

9Vacuum packaging is complete.

IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the accessory hose from the accessory port on the FoodSaver Vac 1050 before you vacuum package in FoodSaver Bags.
