BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- There's no
doubt that home cooking with fresh ingredients presents a variety
of benefits. However, shopping for them can become expensive,
especially when looking at the shocking amount that often goes to
waste. On average, over 20% of food is wasted in the
US**; that's over $500*** a year worth of fruits,
vegetables and grains! To protect that food investment, the
FoodSaver® brand, the authority and top-selling brand in
vacuum sealing food preservation, introduces the new
FoodSaver® Fresh Appliance, a small and counter
space-worthy vacuum sealing appliance ideal for preserving
refrigerator and pantry ingredients as well as on-the-go
snacks.
Specially-designed for use with FoodSaver® Fresh
Containers and Zipper Bags, the new FoodSaver® Fresh
Appliance is a compact powerhouse. At just 5.5 inches wide x 11
inches tall and taking similar counter space as a one-cup coffee
brewing system, it will seal in freshness and keep foods fresh up
to twice as long compared to non-vacuum sealing storage methods.
Ordinary food storage methods trap air with food, causing foods to
lose flavor and nutrition. The new FoodSaver® Fresh
Appliance quickly removes air from specially designed
FoodSaver® Fresh Containers and Vacuum Zipper Bags to
help preserve fresh foods and allow consumers to prep grab and go
snacks or ingredients for cooking ahead of time, knowing they will
taste just as fresh later on.
"There is nothing more frustrating than buying fresh food from
the market only to have your produce, grains and cold cuts go bad
days later," says Lori H. Gonzalez,
FoodSaver® Brand Vice
President and General Manager. "This is an easy and effective food
management system any home cook can embrace, finding endless uses
for the FoodSaver® Fresh Appliance to keep food fresher,
save money and finally to help preserve the shelf life of the foods
that you grab on a daily basis."
The perfect gift for any fresh foodie, the FoodSaver®
Fresh Appliance retails for $99.99
and is available online at FoodSaver.com. Features include:
- Adjustable vacuum head and base are customizable to support the
proper placement of the container or bag for sealing
- Ready green indicator light signals when the container or bag
is ready to seal
- One-touch start button and automatic stop simplifies the vacuum
sealing process and allows for one-handed operation
- Removable Liquid Reservoir makes for easy cleaning and
maintenance
