Vacuum system "WAX". Vacuum canning system

The greatest benefit to the body is the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. They contain many useful vitamins and microelements. In place of the usual canning for us came the vacuum system, which allows to preserve the freshness of the products. "VAKS" is a device for preserving by means of creating a vacuum. Let us consider in more detail how this simple mechanism works.

"WAX" - what is it?

Preservation of fruits, vegetables and various dishes can significantly extend their shelf life. Conventional canning involves pre-heat treatment of products. A more modern method of harvesting is the vacuum system "VAX". Lately The device is used increasingly, because the products are much better stored in a vacuum. This avoids oxidation and damage to the preservation. After all, under the metal or kapron cover, gases are gradually collected, which lead to spontaneous opening of the workpiece.

In the original configuration there is a set of special covers (9 pieces) and a pump for creating a vacuum in the tank. The manufacturer has ensured that the product is suitable for all consumers, and therefore offers several options for the diameter of the lids. This means that when canning drinks and food in non-standard containers, the housewives will not have problems.

The vacuum canning system for many has become a real find. With its help, it is possible to easily evacuate air from a glass container for preservation. This system can be used to store products at home or on travel.

System Benefits

The original invention of Russian production is used for preserving all kinds of products and preserving the maximum amount of useful substances. Vacuum caps can be used up to 200 times. They completely replace conventional metal, which is always used for conservation.

Vacuum canning is used to prepare food for the winter and to extend the freshness of cereals, pasta, flour, drying from fruit and berries. The latter is usually simply dried and stored in containers. However, most often in dried fruits are planted various bugs, after which the product is no longer subject to use. The vacuum system avoids the appearance of parasites in food products during their long-term storage.

The pump for pumping air plays the role of a sunset key. Only, using this simple device, there is absolutely no need to exert effort and try to roll the lid. It is enough just to make several movements, and the container with the product will be securely closed. Special covers for vacuum preservation do not leave chips and cracks on the glass container when opened. They are equipped with a valve through which the air is pumped out.

Scope of application

Vacuuming is considered the most natural way of storing perishable products . If some time ago such a technique was not available for use at home, then with the advent of the "VAKS" system, everything became a reality. It is used not only for traditional canning. The method is suitable for use in the following cases:

• Storage of bulk products;
• Storage of ready meals;
• Storage of dairy products, cheeses;
• Storage of fresh greens;
• Storage of sausage products;
• Storage of freshly prepared juices from fruits and vegetables.

If you pre-dry fruits, vegetables or berries in the dryer, their shelf life in vacuum increases by several times. The vacuum canning system can be used for marinating meat and fish delicacies. In such conditions, the marinade penetrates the food faster.

"VAKS" allows to carry out repeated preservation of products after opening. This means that by opening a product and not using it completely, the glass container can be closed again with the same lid.

Disadvantages of the method

Despite many advantages, the system has some drawbacks. First of all it concerns the cost of the device. Vacuum covers "VAX" and the pump will cost consumers 750-800 rubles (standard equipment). Sometimes you can find cheaper offers, but according to reviews, this is an unoriginal product. The manufacturer also produces a kit, in which there is an increased number of covers (28 pieces). The cost of such a system is not less than 1300 rubles.

In some cases, conventional covers should still be used for conservation. Some housewives complain that the vacuum system "VAX" does not cope with the conservation of cucumbers, tomatoes.

How to use?

To preserve the freshness of products for a long time, it is important to know how to properly apply the system for canning. First of all, you should pay attention to the glass container that will be used. It should not be chipped or otherwise damaged.

Before installing the lid on the neck of the container, it is necessary to check the tightness of the sealing gaskets. They must be completely in grooves. After that, a pump is inserted into the hole on the lid and the air from the tank is pumped up and down by the movements of the rod. Such actions need to be done no more than 5. If you need longer storage of food, about 15 rod movements are made.

To open the tank, you just need to lift the valve on the lid. Do not use sharp objects for this.

Vacuum system "VAKS": reviews

The device is considered a novelty in the market, but, despite this, has already managed to earn many positive recommendations. Vacuum storage preserves the freshness of most perishable products.

With proper use, the pump for air evacuation will last a long time. Periodically, it must be disassembled, washed, dried and lubricated with petroleum jelly. When the pump cuff is seized, it should be kept in hot water. If this manipulation does not bring a proper result, it must be replaced.

To make sure that the vacuum system is working, you need to dial a small amount of water in the container, close the lid and pump out the air. Then the can is turned over. The appearance of air bubbles indicates a breakdown of the system.
