How to vacuum seal meat?

Meat is an expensive and perishable product. A few days in the fridge and it browns, changes smell... It's a pure and simple waste of money. Whether you're a butcher, a hunter, or an amateur cook, you're looking to stop this process.
The solution is vacuum sealing. By removing oxygen, you prevent oxidation (the meat retains its beautiful red color) and stop bacterial growth. The result: you can keep your steaks and roasts five times longer, without any loss of quality.
Table: How long can vacuum-sealed meat be kept?
Here are the impressive conservation gains you can achieve:
| Type of Meat | Standard Duration (Fridge) | Vacuum-sealed (Refrigerated) | Vacuum Sealed (Freezer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Meat (Beef, Lamb) | 2 to 4 days | 8 to 10 days | 18 to 24 months |
| Poultry (Chicken, Turkey) | 2 to 3 days | 6 to 9 days | 18 to 24 months |
| Minced meat | 1 day | 4 to 5 days | 12 months |
Which machine should I choose for meat processing?
1. For Home Use: The Standard 475W Machine
Ideal for portioning your weekly shopping or freezing individual steaks.
It is perfect because it has a double pump to quickly suck out all the air, and an essential "Pulse" mode to avoid crushing tender meats (chicken fillet) or homemade burgers.
2. For Butchers / Restaurateurs: The Pro "Butchery" Machine
If you have a high volume of bags, you can't wait. A standard machine is likely to overheat after 5 bags.
We recommend our Special Butcher's model (40 cm / 550W) . It's the most powerful machine in its class. Its high-performance motor allows you to process packages at an industrial pace without faltering, while remaining compact on the worktop.
