HINTS & TIPS (CONT.)
NOTES
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 outings. Simply seal your important
materials prior to your trip.
