FAQ - Product information
*** Most technical information can be found in our user manual ***
What is the Vacuvita Home Base? The Vacuvita Home Base is an easy to use kitchen appliance that allows you to quickly store food in a vacuum.
Why store food in a vacuum? Food spoilage is mostly caused by microorganisms and a lot of those microorganisms need oxygen to live. By removing the oxygen we reduce the growth of certain microorganisms. The Vacuvita Home Base removes oxygen and prevents light (which is also a cause of growth for microorganisms) from affecting your food. When you store food in a vacuum and then in the freezer, you remove almost all the causes for food spoilage. The combination of the Vacuvita with the additional storage containers and bags is ideal for this.
What is a Vacuvita container? Vacuvita vacuum storage containers will allow you to store vacuum-sealed food in the freezer, fridge or pantry. You can remove the air from the container by using the Home Base’s external vacuum function.
How do I know what I stored inside which container? Each container has a small transparent window that allows you to see what is inside of it. Moreover, you can use a combination of different colors and sizes of containers to differentiate between the contents. On top of this, we’ve developed a smartphone app to keep track of what you’ve stored in which container.
What is a Vacuvita vacuum bag? A vacuum bag is a plastic bag that is intended for single use. It can be used to store vacuum sealed food in the freezer or fridge and prevents freezer burn. You can remove the air from a vacuum bag by using the Vacuvita’s external vacuum function.
FAQ - Food storage information
What should I store in my Homebase? The Vacuvita Home Base is designed as a convenient and stylish stand-alone unit. It really is everything you need to get started. It is best suited for dry products, such as cereal and crackers, but it will preserve coffee beans as well. We don’t recommend storing any fruits or vegetables in the homebase, please use a Vacuvita container or vacuum bag. Also foods that need to be kept at low temperatures should be stored in a Vacuvita container or vacuum bag. Fresh fruits and vegetables that can be kept outside the refrigerator, such as apples and peppers, can be stored in a Vacuvita container.
What should I store in my Vacuum Containers? You can store pretty much everything you want in a Vacuum Container. Because the containers are microwave-, dishwasher and fridge-/freezer safe the possibilities are endless! The containers are perfect for marinating as well. Marinating usually takes around 24 hours, but the Vacuvita system can bring it down to just 20 minutes.
What Should I store in my Vacuum Bags? Vacuvita vacuum bags are BPA- and BPS-free and come in a variety of convenient sizes. Besides long-term storage, the bags are ideal for sous-vide cooking. This is a cooking technique that is based on the principle of slowly cooking your food under a vacuum in a temperature-controlled environment.
FAQ - Technical specifications
What kind of plastic is used in the Home Base and the containers? Both the Home Base and the additional containers are made from BPA- and BPS-free plastic.
Is the system dishwasher-safe? The containers fit in the dishwasher perfectly and are dishwasher-safe. This is also true for the vacuum hose. The Vacuvita Home Base itself contains electrical parts and therefore is not dishwasher-safe. We recommend cleaning the Vacuvita with a soft cloth and some non-aggressive soap.
Will the vacuum seal hold with frequent usage? Yes, to prevent the seal from deteriorating the Vacuvita Home Base will have an extremely durable rubber seal strip.
Does the system use a lot of energy? No, the system works with a low voltage and only uses a bit of energy when it is creating a vacuum. When the vacuum pressure is sufficient the system doesn’t use energy, except for the LED and the power adapter itself. At some points the pump will use some power to maintain the vacuum. When used correctly, the Vacuvita Home Base will actually save energy. The production of food requires quite a lot of energy and saving food will reduce your energy footprint.
