Vacuum Storage Bags Are Great For Smaller Homes
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jennifer_Waller]Jennifer Waller
If you're running out of space for food, a simple yet sadly often neglected option to fix your space issue is present in vacuum sealer bags and similar products. Many people can no longer afford to keep up large homes... so they move to a smaller one, perfectly reasonable these days. Then they start buying food in bulk because everyone knows that the prices are better that way. Then you have the problem of figuring out what to do with all the food you can't eat fast enough, and don't have room for in your fridge! Buying another fridge? Not that practical for most people. Instead, vacuum sealing food storage methods are an opportunity that is less bulky, less expensive, and more freedom-empowering than freezing everything.
Vacuum storage is, simply put, the concept of storing something in an airtight bag, can, or other sealed container while all the oxygen has been removed from the interior. This keeps the food tasting fresh, and prevents contamination. The process is so efficient that it has become a food industry standard, and all you have to do to see it at work is to browse any grocery store aisle. Most of what you see, in fact, is vacuum sealed. This versatile and effective storage process is brought to your home through products designed for casual home use. Using these products is a significant step up from relying on your refrigerator, which increases the lifespan of perishables by much less than what vacuum storage is capable of. These home products come in a number of types and with materials ranging from glass to plastic, but the most flexible sort are simple yet effective plastic bags, not at all dissimilar to the ordinary ziploc style bags you're almost certainly already familiar with.
Food bags capable of vacuum storage are differentiated from regular bags mostly by the quality of the material used. Vacuum bags are much hardier, and do a better job of protecting foods inside from freezer burn as well as completely locking the outside atmosphere away. In addition, their designs allow them to be used with vacuum sealing machines to completely remove oxygen from the bags, creating a professional FDA-approved level of sterility that will keep your food crisp and tasty for a long time to come. The resulting bags are easily stored in much smaller spaces than bulky hard containers would be, and can even usually be washed and reused to further cut down on expenses.
While the vacuum sealing machines themselves are something of an investment, in comparison to the expense of losing food over the years to rot and decay, it's a very worthwhile expenditure for most people with limited space or budgets. The simplicity of use is also impressive for something that is powerful enough to be a foundation storage process in the food industry. Don't go out and buy another fridge, or resign yourself to buying more expensive food packaged in smaller quantities. There's a better way, and vacuum storage is it.
