How to Keep Your Leftovers Fresh
You never have to worry about wasting food when it comes to JVR’s chamber vacuum sealing machines. In Fish Alaska Magazine’s Best Salmon Burger Series video, you’ll notice Melissa using a Vac110 chamber vacuum sealing machine to vacuum seal her extra salmon burgers. She takes her leftover burgers and places them in vacuum-sealing pouches. Then, with her preferred machine settings, she places the edge of her pouches over the seal bar, one at a time, and closes the lid until it suctions closed. The rest is effortless–stand back and watch the sealing come to life. No more plastic wrap or plastic bags when you can vacuum pack your leftovers and have sealed bags with longer shelf life! The possibilities are endless…(smoked fish, smoked salmon, tuna, fillets, and the list goes on!).

More on the Vac110
The Vac110 is a chamber vacuum sealer that can handle various amounts of volume. It features an oil pump that enables the machine to extract the maximum amount of air from each package during vacuum packing, helping preserve freshness and quality. You’ll never use another ziploc bag again!
Vac100 & Vac110 Efficiency Comparison
The difference between these machines is quite simple: the Vac100 focuses on convenience, offering external sealing capabilities, while the Vac110 emphasizes power, with a flow rate that’s twice as high. The Vac110 uses one-third horsepower to deliver faster performance. If you’re looking for efficiency, speed, and the ability to seal large quantities of meat, vegetables, and more, the Vac110 is your best choice.
Bonus Tips: Vacuum Sealing Liquids and Marinades
If you’re looking to enhance the flavor of your food, whether it’s fish or another type of meat, using a vacuum sealing machine to marinade your food or seal liquids for future marinades will give you the results you desire.
