Tackling the two problems of food waste and safer storage of raw and cooked food, Magic Vac has brought its domestic appliances to Australia.
Vacuum sealing is credited with extending the life of both fresh and cooked foods by as much as five times that of conventionally stored foods. The method is also a key ingredient in sous-vide cooking.
Magic Vac has an extensive range of domestic and professional vacuum sealers and accessories with its best-selling Genius model being virtually ubiquitous in the kitchens of Italy.
To hygienically seal meat, fish, fruit, vegetables – cooked and uncooked – place the end of one of Magic Vac’s BPA food-safe plastic sleeves on the sealing bar, close the lid and press the button. It will seal in seconds. Then place the food inside the bag and place the other end on the sealing bar. By pressing the same button it will automatically remove all the air and then seal the end.
The food will be perfectly preserved in a vacuum-sealed package that can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer. You can also use this method to cook the food sous-vide, which is when the packaged food is cooked in a water bath.
Magic Vac, the original Vacuum Sealing Machine, has a wide range of appliances and accessories available nationally. The Genius model, in red and silver styling, retails for $349.95. It is made in Italy and carries a two-year guarantee. Go to cg.dksh.com.au for more details.
