KEEP FOOD FRESH

Food has a fixed shelf life. This is indicated by the best before date on the products, although there is a certain amount of leeway here. First, not all food necessarily goes bad on the best before date. And secondly, you can keep them fresh even beyond the best before date. Here are some tricks and ZWILLING Fresh & Save products to make this possible.

The best-before date can be found on almost all products, ingredients, and food items. undate. This leads to lots of food being thrown away unncessarily. As one of the biggest factors in food waste, many people think food has to be used or thrown away by the best-before date. But is that correct?

No, it isn’t – especially for food you haven’t opened yet! The best-before date on packaged food is only a guide to when you should consume it and how long it retains its proper smell and taste. When stored properly, you can make sealed packaged food last beyond its best-before date.

With our vacuum pump, containers, and bags, you can effortlessly vacuum seal and create an airless space that will keep your food fresh. The bonus side effect? Thanks to vacuum sealing, you can prevent unnecessary food waste.

There are many easy and effective ways to preserve food:

• Canning
• Fermenting
• Pickling
• Freezing – also possible to do without freezer burn when you use our vacuum seal bags and containers

So far, so good – at least in terms of store-bought food. But what if you want to make your homemade food last longer? Some people enjoy baking bread or whipping up delicious casseroles, while others are passionate about marinating. There are no best-before dates on these food items, but you can also keep these things fresh for longer. When you vacuum seal your food, you slow down the spoilage process. You can freeze what you don’t use immediately – our ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum containers can also be used in the freezer and help you avoid freezer burn.

The same applies to our products even at sub-zero temperatures in the freezer – keep your food fresh up to 5x longer compared to non-vacuum sealed items. Meat, vegetables, or even coffee beans are well-preserved for a long time at 5°F to 0°F. When you freeze them without air and with our ZWILLING Fresh & Save products, they last even longer! The same applies to higher temperatures, i.e., stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
