2. If you have packaged perishable food, store it at a constant temperature in the refrigerator or freezer. You can thus keep, for example, fresh, vacuum-packaged beef for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.
3. If you vacuum already vacuum packaged food again and want to keep the quality and taste, please ensure that the maximum storage period will not be extended.
4. Anyone who has already vacuumed roe deer or pork, as well as dried noodles, knows that this can often have dangerous sharp edges and corners to break the vacuum bag; Lava recommend to use in these cases always a salmon board (from the lava-delivery program), which prevents that too sharp bone edges or sharp edges break the vacuum bag.
