You cannot only preserve food using the Solis Vac Prestige. Marinate meat, fish and vegetables in a vacuum by selecting the marinating function. This is the most effective way to make sure your steak is soaked well and it speeds up the marinating process significantly. The vacuum-sealed bags are also suitable for sous-vide cooking. The Vac Prestige vacuum sealer helps you to store and preserve freshly purchased food everyday and for a much longer period. Its powerful vacuum pump vacuum-packs your food instantly with a pressure of up to -0.8 bar. In a vacuumed state your food will be neatly and safely packed. When storing food in the freezer, the vacuum will protect the food from freezer burn.
Go for fully automatic sealing or select the manual mode for instant sealing on demand that might come in handy if you simply want to make a bag from a roll and therefore need to seal one end of the bag or if you wish to stop the vacuuming process. The 2 vacuum settings allow for normal vacuuming speed and gentle vacuuming speed that may be required for pressure-sensitive food.

- Protects From Freezer Burn: Vacuum-packed food is effectively protected from freezer burn, reducing food waste.
