✅ The 3 Golden Rules of Preservation
- Hygiene is paramount: Vacuum sealing does not sterilize. Pack very fresh products with clean hands.
- The cold chain: A vacuum-packed product must always be kept refrigerated (except for dry products).
- The right machine: For long-term preservation, the seal must be perfect. Use a double-pump machine.
