How to make a vacuum bag. Vacuum packing machine. We cook meat using sous-vide technology. You can make vacuum bags with your own hands
Vacuum-sealed products last longer than usual, and hiking conditions this can be a great help, especially if there are no grocery stores along the way. Naturally, not all products can be vacuum sealed. But knowing their list and having built several similar jars, you can easily store your rations in such a package, while sealing it in a similar way anywhere and at any time. How to make vacuum packaging with your own hands, we'll talk further in detailed master class with photo.
Materials
To work you will need:
- glass jar with a tight-fitting lid;
- transparent plastic tube;
- small T-shaped air valve- 1 PC.;
- check valve- 2 pcs.;
- large syringe;
- drill;
- scissors.
You can purchase the tube and valves at a pet store. It is important that they match each other in diameter.
Step 1. Cut the plastic tube into four 5 cm long pieces.
Step 2. Cut the end of one of the tubes at an angle.
Step 3. Place the remaining three pieces of straw onto the T-valve.
Step 4. Take the check valve and examine it carefully. You will see that for correct use it is marked. With the side labeled “in” or “in,” attach it to one of the T-valve tubes.
Step 5. To the second valve tube you need to attach a large plastic syringe without a needle. The design, in the end, should look like in the photo.
Step 6. Drill a hole in the lid of the jar exactly in the center. Its diameter should be half that of your existing plastic tube. This is necessary for a tight fit of the parts.
Step 7. Use the sharp cut end to insert the tube into the hole in the lid.
Step 8. Connect the second check valve with the inlet end to the tube in the lid, and the second end to the third tube on the valve.
The design for vacuum packaging is ready. To vacuum seal a product, you need to place it in a jar and use a syringe to suck out the air from it.
Vacuum packaging machines are designed for packaging products in a vacuum or inert gas environment. Usually this is industrial version. But it turns out that there are also home vacuum sealers - the devices themselves, and containers for them - for vacuum packaging food products Houses.
Vacuum packaging is necessary, first of all, for perishable products. It is very convenient to pack cheese and butter, vegetables, berries and fruits, and much, much more for storage.
Home vacuum sealers for food are quite expensive - from 175 to 400 euros depending on the model, plus special utensils are needed. However, it is a good investment. Including in rural conditions, when shopping trips and trips to the city for groceries are a rarity. :-) There is a mini version for 99 euros.
They are sold in your favorite store - the same place where home mills, dehydrators, ice cream makers and a lot of other useful and convenient household items are. Sometimes they are simply irreplaceable, like mills. Vacuum sealers also seem to be unique - I haven’t seen any other household options.
Where to buy vacuum sealers
Advantages of vacuum packaging of products:
When food is stored in vacuum packaging, due to the reduction in air pressure, the amount of oxygen is significantly reduced and volatile substances are also removed.
Food spoils due to the presence of oxygen, as it oxidizes. They lose their taste and nutritional qualities, enzymes, change their appearance and smell - in other words, they deteriorate.
Oxygen also promotes the development of most types of different microbes (bacteria, mold). Freezing is also not perfect option, because the presence of oxygen causes “burns” to remain on the product during freezing.
Vacuum packaging limits the oxidation process and stops the development of microbes.
Products that contain a lot of moisture, even in vacuum packaging, should be stored in the refrigerator at low temperatures.
The vacuum sealer works not only with bags, but also with containers of different sizes and shapes - they are commercially available.
If you use bags (the bags come in rolls, you need to tear them off before use), then first unroll the roll to the size required to wrap the product, then cut the bag and seal one edge. After that, put your product in the bag you made and start vacuuming.
You can buy a universal lid for vacuum sealing; you can use a regular glass jar with it. We put the product in the container, connect the adapter tube with one end to the device, the other to the lid of the container, set it to the “VACUUM” mode. After this, you can start the vacuum process. When the process is complete, close the lid by switching the status to "CLOSED".
Vacuum bags are intended for packaging using the vacuum method various products, especially frozen meat, poultry, sliced pieces of sausage, ham, boiled pork, fish, meat and fish semi-finished products and culinary products.
Vacuum bags allow you to solve many issues related to the shelf life of products.
Thanks to the application polymer materials, which have increased barrier properties, a stable atmosphere is created inside vacuum bags, preventing the development of microorganisms and capable of preserving the product until it is safe to consume.
Vacuum bags do not allow oxygen to penetrate and carbon dioxide, do not allow the ingress of water vapor and foreign odors.
- thanks to the vacuum film, the product does not dry out;
- vacuum film preserves the composition of products, smell, taste and color;
- vacuum packaging increases the shelf life of products;
- vacuum film improves the appearance of the product;

Vacuum packaging is used for a wide range of products in the medical, cosmetic and other industries, but it is especially successful in packaging food products. The advantages of vacuuming are the ability to eliminate the harmful effects of oxygen and other air components on products, while oxidation of fat-containing products does not occur and the development of microflora slows down, which allows increasing shelf life. Vacuum packaging also adds additional aesthetics to the appearance of the product.
Vacuum packaging is used for meat, fish, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, salads and semi-finished products, bread and confectionery. Vacuum bags have undeniable advantages over classic ones plastic bags.
Tightness. The bags do not allow oxygen, water vapor and other gases inside, which can lead to product spoilage in a short time.
Increased strength. Therefore, the film is widely used with various forms substrates, including corner ones. In addition, it is also possible to use such packaging for products with bones, which is quite common in meat products.
Safety. Vacuum packaging bags are made from environmentally friendly materials. They are non-toxic and do not contain harmful chemical substances. Their use is safe and does not have a negative effect on products.
Excellent consumer properties. The transparency of the packages leaves no doubt. The juicy and fresh appearance of the product lasts for a long time.
Price. The price of bags for vacuum packaging of products is low. It does not affect the final supply for the consumer, and therefore does not lead to a decrease in demand for the product. The film is sold separately, as are the lids, and is very inexpensive.
ADDENDUM FROM SELLER:
"Many people think that vacuum sealers require a lot consumables. On the one hand, this is true, if you pack it in film, then there is a cost. If you store food in plastic containers or glass jars, it turns out that a jar with a regular lid can be reused multiple times!
At one exhibition in Germany I saw a presentation of “our” vacuum packers, so they used special containers various sizes and volume (they are also on the website). A jar is placed inside the container, the jar is slightly covered with a lid (and You can use any lids, even with threads), the container is closed with a special lid and air is removed from it. According to the laws of physics, air leaves not only from the container itself, but also from the can located inside it. The lid of the jar closes automatically. Then the container is opened, the vacuum-sealed jar is taken out and can be stored for a long time, and the container is ready for
vacuuming the next can or container.
Having a certain set of special containers, you can close any package in this way. In other words, for example, they bought a jar of sour cream, opened it, took
as much as needed, then slightly covered original lid so that there is a small gap for air to escape, place it inside the container and remove the air from the container. The lid on the jar of sour cream will automatically seal after removing the air. We opened the container and put the jar of sour cream in the refrigerator.
This is just one example. There are many uses for a vacuum sealer in the kitchen! This way you can close, store jars of cereals and buckwheat for a long time and safely
pasta. Small packets of seasonings can also be placed in one glass jar and protected from moths or other insects.
Bottle caps also work on this principle, i.e. you can close a bottle of olive oil or a bottle of wine. I wonder how a bottle containing a carbonated drink, lemonade or beer will behave in this case. It’s a pity that I didn’t ask at the exhibition, I’ll have to buy it and try it. :-)"
A compact and inexpensive Chinese vacuum degasser, which I had my eye on for a long time, but for a long time I was tormented by doubts: is it necessary or not? And yet I took the risk of ordering, I think it will be useful for the kitchen, you will be satisfied with the products.
Vacuum packaging at home - it turned out to be simple and easy. Original name: XinBaoLong QH - Electric Automatic Food Vacuum Sealer
Designed for vacuum packaging of products, although if desired, you can vacuum seal anything. This is very convenient for perishable products such as cheese and butter, sausage, vegetables, berries.
If food is stored in vacuum packaging, it is better preserved taste qualities and storage time, since oxygen promotes oxidation, promotes the development of most types of different microbes. Products that contain a lot of moisture, even in vacuum packaging, should be stored in the refrigerator at low temperatures.
Of course there are more practical way storage, in special containers in which the air can be pumped out, and used repeatedly, but it all costs much more. I decided to make do with a simple vacuum sealer from Gearbest.
The device arrived in such a pretty solid package, or rather they sent it and didn’t come on its own :)
We open it and see the Vacuumator itself, which is protected by foam plastic on the sides, which prevented it from being damaged during transportation, since the packaging was quite dented. They probably kicked it a couple of times along the way to speed it up. There is no nasty chemical smell, the quality of the plastic is very good, there are no complaints about it at all.
They also kindly put two instructions inside, one in Chinese, the other in English language. But in this case, you can figure it out from the picture. without knowledge of the language
The set also included 15 special thick bags; if desired, you can order more. At the end of the review I will leave a link to the packages.
Bag size is approximately 19x25
The size of the vacuum sealer itself turned out to be 340 mm, although on the seller’s website the following figure appears in the description: 36.50 x 5.45 x 5.00 cm
What’s very good is that this is our original plug, the wire itself is not tied with a disposable tie, it’s quite convenient to store later
The lid is secured on the sides with latches
Fixes quite tightly
Under the lid there is a strip with heating element that seals the bag
WITH right side the pump hole that creates the vacuum
The design is outrageously simple, of the controls there is one button on the left side that turns on the pump
And a button under the lid, which turns on the heating element for sealing the bag, but to press it you need to press down the lid with force, the power button will light up in red for a few seconds and then turn off the vacuumizer
There are also instructions on how to use on the top of the lid.
WITH reverse side technical data plate
There is also an orange thing on top that looks like a handle, but it is something like a valve. By pulling it, we let air under the lid so that it can be opened after sealing the bag. Although the lid opens without this useless action.
To start work, you need to take a bag, put what we will store in the bag, place it in the center, but not all the way, otherwise the pump will simply not be able to pump out the air
I decided to pack it as an experiment green onions, yes may he forgive me
The vacuum cleaner worked without problems
I've never seen vacuum-packed cucumbers before, it's time to fix that
The device coped with this task with a bang, the quality of the packaging turned out to be superb
Well, the time has come to check whether this vacuum cleaner can handle simple bags, although I was initially sure that it would not work. For this purpose, the bags must be tight so that they do not stick together.
As I expected, the air did not even begin to be pumped out, but if necessary, you can simply seal the bag
As a result, I ended up with two experimental packages; I regretted translating the packages further. I think I need to order more, they will come in handy around the house.
In the end, I got a very cool device for only 22 bucks, which turned out to be super useful in the kitchen. It’s difficult to say how long it will last, only time will tell. But it’s definitely a mega useful thing, I can confidently recommend it.
Here I tried to demonstrate its work in a video review:
What is the device for? First, vacuum packaging extends the shelf life by 2 or more times.
The most impressive thing about this table is the shelf life of vegetables and fruits in the freezer - as much as 2 years! Well, in general, by and large, are such deadlines necessary? We don’t buy sausage to sit in the refrigerator for 40 days.
Therefore, we move on to the second property of vacuum packaging.
This is the preservation of the original taste of the product, because the oxidation processes under the film, deprived of air, are slowed down, and an apple, for example, freshly picked and sealed under the film, smells as divine as when it was picked. The same goes for freshly fried cutlets, chicken wings, kebab, etc.
And third, in vacuum packaging you can prepare products using sous-vide technology, which has become popular in the 21st century. In short, this is cooking in a vacuum at low temperatures, from 52 degrees.
First, I will introduce you to the functionality.
Product arrives in cardboard box with color printing. You don’t need to invent anything for a gift. 
The set contains as many as 15 packages. But the packages are far from cheap. These are special bags that have several layers - a layer of polyethylene alternates with a layer of polyamide or lavsan, and to suck out air, a third layer with corrugation is applied on one side. It’s very helpful that they put the bags, you can sit down and pack right away. 
On the top cover you can see a control button combined with an LED; in the middle there is an orange rubber valve, which must be pulled to release the vacuum. 
There is also a secret button that you press when you just need to seal the package. There is no physical button, but you need to press it in the inscription area
vacuum packing system, there is a switch underneath it. Why they made it so complicated is unclear.
If you open the device you can see the heating element in front. And then there is a limited vacuum chamber sealing cuffs. It is in this chamber that the edge of the bag should fit. 
At the bottom there is a sign with information. There are also two built-in magnets, with which the packer can be stored on the wall of the refrigerator. 
I'm starting to use it. To begin with, I sealed a dry-cured smoked sausage. 
Now I’ll cook the pork using sous vide technology.
The meat was chopped and sprinkled with prepared spices. 
Placed it in a bag, and the bag in a packer. This is how the process happens
Result.
Professionally, products are prepared using sous vide technology in thermostatic baths. Of course, I don’t have such equipment and never will. Therefore, I place the meat in a suitable pan. Here you need to choose larger dishes so that the temperature is more or less constant.
I set it to the desired temperature. I took the cooking time and temperature from this table
Cooked for three hours. I take out the bag and cool it. It can be seen that liquid was released during cooking.
The next day I decided to print the package, and it could be stored in the refrigerator for at least 10 days. I take out a piece of meat and finally smell the food. The fact is that when cooking in a vacuum, no odors are released, this is unusual, there is nothing to focus on. So this smell reminded me of marinated barbecue meat. In principle, I sprinkled the barbecue spices on the meat. Next time - no spices or salt. All only during final roasting.
Before frying, I dried the meat using improvised means.
On the meat I apply a little softened butter and place the pork in a frying pan, well heated and fry for a minute on each side.
I don’t know what should happen, I have nothing to compare it with. But it’s more like shish kebab, but suspiciously juicy and at the same time fried. It’s a pity that the piece is large and cools quickly while you eat it. Here the thought struck me that it would be very nice to fry the meat as needed in small pieces on alcohol burner type of fundus.
Now the beef. No seasoning or salt here
After 4 hours of cooking at 57 degrees. The smell of the product is like fresh cow's milk.
And here is a steak made from this meat, fried for 2 minutes on each side. Seasonings and salt are added during frying.
Cooking a beef steak is more impressive than cooking a pork steak. Namely, to make a beef steak you need to have very good, young meat. And here you are guaranteed to get a juicy, marketable steak, and the beef can be quite mediocre.
You can experiment with the temperature and cooking time as much as you like, but it is quite obvious that the product cannot be spoiled by this method of heat treatment.
It is attractive to be able to prepare barbecue meat, beef steaks, chicken breasts and so on, put in the refrigerator or even freeze (which is more acceptable for the prevention of botulism). And as you go out into nature, take this with you... And there, in the lap of nature, prepare delicious delicacies in a couple of minutes.

Content
To extend the shelf life of products and improve their quality, we use different technologies. One of them is progressive and simple - vacuumization. Meat, fish, vegetables are sealed in a tight bag, the maximum amount of air is removed from it, thereby preventing the proliferation of microorganisms. For this purpose, a special device has been invented, a vacuum packer, which will be your faithful assistant and expert in matters of freshness and consistent quality of preserved products.
What is a vacuum sealer
For the life of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, they need favorable conditions, the important ones being heat and the presence of oxygen. With the advent of the refrigerator, people increased the shelf life of food. Cooling and freezing help keep meat, fish, and vegetables in a safe state for health. The use of vacuum technology helps not only to protect food supplies from spoilage, but also to preserve their microelements and vitamins. Prepared food is perfectly preserved in a vacuum. You can take it with you on the road without fear of poisoning.
Frozen foods at long-term storage destroy their original structure. This problem is easily solved by a vacuum food packaging machine. Freeze foods that are pre-packaged in vacuum bags. This way the food will be preserved under ideal conditions, and after defrosting it will delight you with an appetizing appearance, pristine taste, a full range of vitamins. To do this, you need to buy a machine for vacuum packaging of products. Its cost is more than compensated by the preserved food, which you won’t have to throw away.
Domestic
Compact vacuum packing machine for a home can be horizontal or vertical (the second takes less space in the kitchen). A household vacuumizer is equipped with a nozzle, a sealing tape, an electric pump, and an alert system that provides light and sound signals. Place the food in a special bag, position the packaging according to the user instructions so that the nozzle is inside the container. Turn on the pump and wait for the signal indicating that the evacuation is complete. Press the button that turns on the seal.
Depending on the class, price, manufacturer, vacuum sealers used at home may have minimal or advanced functionality. More expensive models have several packaging modes. They are able to vacuum soft, delicate, fragile fruits, vegetables, and ready-made dishes without damaging them. Some models come with marinating containers. In a vacuum, this process goes faster and you can cook meat or fish for the grill in 10-15 minutes.
How can a vacuum packaging machine be used at home? Sliced meats, vegetables, and fruits are perfectly preserved without air. This packaging is convenient and safe to take with you to work, for a walk, and even on a hike. Pack sliced sausage, cheese, meat along with the plate. When guests arrive, serving the treat will take a few seconds, and the cutting will not dry out or become chapped. With the help of vacuum sealers you can prepare dishes at low temperatures using Sous Vide technology for healthy eating.
Industrial
Unlike household tubeless packers, an industrial vacuum sealer for products is a solid unit. Of course, it is designed for much larger volumes of packaging raw materials, semi-finished products and ready-made dishes. Food packaged in a bag, subjected to vacuum, is placed in the chamber, the edge of the container is located on heating element, where the sealing line will be located. When you close the lid and press the “start” button, the packaging process begins automatically.
In the kitchen or at home, such a packer will look ridiculous. Its place is in manufacturing, fast food enterprises, kitchens of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants. It does an excellent job of increasing the shelf life of products different types, and with packaging, giving presentation semi-finished products, ready-made dishes for sale. The complete set of industrial vacuum degassers often includes spare parts rubber seals, oil necessary for servicing the device, special inserts that reduce the size of the chamber if necessary.

How to choose a vacuum sealer
To purchase a device that will become your reliable assistant, decide what is expected of it. Buying equipment for a cafe, restaurant or small production workshop, choose industrial single-chamber vacuum degassers. Depending on the expected workload, decide on the power, parameters and volume of the model’s chamber. Any household appliance will not cope with production loads and will quickly fail.
Inexpensive tubeless packers are suitable for the kitchen. The selection principle is the same: decide how the device will be used. If you need vacuum sealing of meat, fish, cheese to increase shelf life, any vacuum sealer with minimum set functions. Do you pack berries, mushrooms, vegetables before freezing? Check that the device has a program for vacuuming soft and fragile products. Are you going to marinate meat often? You need a sealer with vacuum containers and a hose included.
