What Is a Vacuum Sealer? A vacuum sealer removes the air from the space around your food and then uses a heated seal bar to fuse the sides of the bag, preventing the air from leaking back into the bag. Exposure to air will spoil food or allow it to stale over time, so this process eliminates that threat.

Our answer is a qualified yes. If you buy in bulk, freeze small portions for meal prep or from a hunt, vacuum sealing is worth it. It helps prevent most food from going stale as quickly as it would in a non-airtight container, and it also helps prevent freezer burn, which affects taste and texture.

Vacuum packing reduces atmospheric oxygen, limiting the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi, and preventing the evaporation of volatile components. It is also commonly used to store dry foods over a long period of time, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish, coffee, and potato chips (crisps).

With vacuum bags, the air inside these items is sucked out, and their bulky size is reduced to a fraction of their initial volume. The bags also keep items away from dust and moisture, and they allow you to have additional free space in your room.
