To fix an incomplete seal, redo the
vacuum seal process on the same
location. Then vacuum seal again on a

how Frisper works
As you close the lid, Frisper
punctures a small hole in the
bag.
The vacuum removes virtually
all the air inside the bag.
The hole is closed by a
circular heat seal. This
creates an airtight
environment to maintain
your food’s freshness.

COMPLETE HEAT SEALS ENSURE THAT

DO NOT OVERLAP SEALING CIRCLES *
When you are reusing a bag do
not overlap the sealing circles as
illustrated above. Sealing circles
that are overlapping will not have
an effective airtight seal.
A good heat seal is a complete
circle with even thickness. If the
seal looks incomplete or de-
formed, repeat the vacuum seal-
ing process in the exact same
location.
*Note: You may overlap sealing
circles if you are attempting to
fix a broken seal.

restoring incomplete seals
If the bag leaks after it has been sealed, the heat seal may
be incomplete. To restore an incomplete heat seal:

Redo the vacuum sealing process on the in-

Once you have restored the bad seal, find a

location.

vacuum sealing basics
vacuum sealing is a great way to preserve food’s quality.
Frisper Freshkeeper, with its small size and one touch
operation, makes the task convenient and easy.
vacuum sealing is not intended to replace refrigeration
or freezing. Foods that normally require refrigeration (be-
low ꢂ0°F/ꢂ°C) or freezing (0°F/-1ꢅ°C) even when vacuum
sealed, should still be refrigerated or frozen. Vacuum
sealing helps food retain flavor, color and texture. It may
not stop the growth of certain kinds of bacteria and yeast
fermentation. Vacuum sealing is not a substitute for heat-
preserving or canning.
vacuum sealers cannot restore or revive food that is past
its prime.
Do not serve or consume food that has the odor, texture,
or appearance of food that has gone bad.
11
freezing
Vacuum sealing helps prevent freezer burn by removing
the air in a bag. There are other ways to further extend the
life of food in your freezer.
PLACEMENT
The back of a freezer has a more constant temperature
than areas near the door of a freezer. Delicate foods which
may thaw easily should be kept at the back of the freezer.
THAWING FOOD
For best results, thaw frozen foods in a refrigerator. Never
thaw raw meats, fish, dairy, or poultry at room tempera-
ture. Thawing by microwave may affect the texture of
foods. If thawing by microwave, begin cooking process
immediately after thawing, to prevent bacteria growth.
VACUUM SEALING SOUPS AND SAUCES
To vacuum seal soups and sauces, pour liquid in Frisper
bag and leave at least ꢀ” of space at the top of the bag. Do
not vacuum seal at this point. Place filled bag upright in
freezer and allow liquid to freeze. Remove frozen bag and
vacuum seal it.
1ꢀ
fruit
For best results freeze fruit before vacuum sealing. Wash
and dry fruit. Then spread on a tray or cookie sheet. Place
the cooking sheet in the freezer for about ꢀ hours, then
transfer fruit to a Vac-Snap bag and vacuum seal.
vegetables
Frozen vegetables sometimes turn black if they are not
blanched before freezing. To blanch vegetables, fill a ꢂ-ꢃ
quart pot with water and bring to a boil. Also, fill a large
bowl with ice water and have a colander or strainer on
hand. Add vegetable to boiling water and cook for the
times suggested on the next page. Vegetables should
retain a vibrant color and remain crisp and “undercooked”.
Remove from boiling water and plunge into ice water until
completely chilled. Drain as necessary, dry, and transfer to
a Vac-Snap bag for vacuum sealing.

cruciferous vegetables
Because of the gasses they emit over time, cruciferous
vegetables should be kept in the freezer rather than refrigerator
after vacuum sealing. These vegetables include broccoli,
cabbages and Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collards, kale,
kohlrabi, rutabagas and turnips.
mushrooms
Mushrooms need to breathe and should never be sealed in
plastic. The best way to store mushrooms is to place them in a
brown paper sandwich bag and keep them in the refrigerator.

meat, fish, & poultry
For best results, wash and gently pat dry poultry or fish.
Beef, veal, lamb and pork should be patted dry. This extra
step saves you time when you are ready to cook and also
helps to maintain good moisture levels and shape. You
can also insert a paper towel into the bag before vacuum
sealing to absorb excess moisture and juices.
Use a clean paper towel to pat dry raw
meats before Frisping.

liquid catch tray
Your Frisper has an antibacterial liquid catch tray which
will hold any liquids that have been vacuumed out of
your bag. This allows you to vacuum seal wet foods
like raw meat and fish. It is dishwasher-safe for easy
cleaning.
bag puncture
The bag puncture is made of an antibacterial plastic to
prevent the growth of bacteria and germs. However,
it should still be cleaned with water and soap after
contact with raw meat and other food liquids.
The bag puncture creates a small hole in the Vac-Snap
bag, allowing your Frisper to vacuum out the air. Then
the heat seal permanently closes the hole keeping the
bag airtight.

vac-snap™ bags
Zipper: Vac-Snap bags have zipper tops for
easy, anytime access to your fresh food. Place
your food in the bag and securely close the
zipper.
uses: Vac-Snap bags can be used for the fridge,
freezer, and pantry. Vac-Snap bags can also be
used in the microwave and can be simmered.
sealing circle: These circles provide a guide to
aligning the bag for vacuum sealing. Always align
the circle over the orange ring on the Frisper to
insure proper alignment.
