How to make vacuum packing at home

The vacuum packed represents a method of preservation that allows you to preserve some preparations for a long time by exploiting the absence of air. By eliminating the micro-organisms that proliferate in the presence of air, it will be possible to preserve food for longer.

For fruit-based preserves (jams or marmalades), long cooking and with a high percentage of sugars, you can use the method of hot potting (upside down).

For preserves based on vegetables, in oil or pickles, you will have to proceed with the technique of boiling.

Pasteurization method by hot potting.

1. Sterilize the glass jars.

2. Fill the jars up to approximately 1 cm from the edge.

3. Clean the edges.

4. Close the lid of the jars.

5. After closing the jar, turn it upside down immediately.

6. Upside down for at least 20 minutes.

7. Check if the vacuum has occurred. Press the cap in the center, with a light pressure of a finger, and if you hear the typical "click", it means that the operation was successful.

8. Leave to cool in a cool place (at room temperature).

5. Place the jars in a saucepan.

6. Wrap the jars in a tea towel (to prevent them from bumping during boiling).

7. Fill the pot with water.

8. Bring to a boil.

9. Once it reaches a boil, cook for the necessary time (the minutes depend on the type of food, for example tomatoes, in oil or pickles 30 minutes, tuna 25 minutes).

10. Allow to cool to room temperature.

11. Check if the vacuum has occurred.

• Furthermore, for the correct rules of hygiene of the kitchen, of the person, of the tools used and on the treatment of ingredients, pasteurization and conservation, we refer to site and at guidelines of the Ministry of Health. Of course, the information published here does not in any way replace the doctor's advice, opinion, visit and prescription.
