Vacuum packaging machines that can seal both dry and wet goods have several benefits:
• Versatility: They can package a wide range of products including both dry goods and wet/liquid goods. This allows flexibility and can reduce the need for multiple different packaging machines.
• Freshness: They are great for extending the shelf life of fresh foods. Sous vide foods, meats, seafood, etc. can be vacuum sealed to keep odor and microbes out. This retains freshness and allows long term storage. Wet goods can be packaged with or without liquids in the bag.
• Easy portion control: They make it easy to portion and vacuum seal liquids and sauces in smaller bags. This allows storing only what you need and maintaining the rest in larger containers.
• Marinating: They are excellent for speeding up the marinating process. Vacuum sealing helps marinades fully penetrate meats and fish much faster.
• Airtight seal: They provide maximum preservation by removing air from the bag and heat sealing it shut. This creates an impermeable barrier that does not allow air, moisture or bacteria in. This allows for refrigerator storage of up to 2-3 weeks and freezer storage for years.
• Sous vide cooking: The airtight seal is perfect for sous vide cooking. Sous vide foods can be seasoned and vacuum sealed then cooked in a precise water bath. This results in excellent flavor and texture. The bags also prevent water from getting in.
• Space saving: Vacuum sealing compresses the product and removes air to minimize space used during storage. More products can fit in your fridge, freezer, pantry and shelves.
• Prevents freezer burn: By excluding air and sealing the bag, vacuum sealers can help prevent freezer burn which degrades the quality, texture, and color of frozen foods.Those are some of the main benefits of vacuum packaging machines that can handle both dry and wet goods.
