The FoodSaver Home Vacuum Packaging System® is great for saving time and money, which is important for busy parents. Tilia, Inc. offers these additional ideas for using your FoodSaver System:

• Homemade baby food can be frozen in ice cube trays, then vacuum packaged for storage in the freezer.
• Homemade frozen dinners can be vacuum packed directly on a plate. Even when there's no time to cook, your family can still sit down to a homemade meal.
• FoodSaver bags go straight from the freezer to your microwave or boiling water. So vegetables can be vacuum packed with a bit of butter and herbs and frozen. Then simply boil the entire bag for a quick, delicious side dish.
• Busy parents can save time and money by shopping in bulk, then vacuum packaging the right food portions for their family. Since food stays fresh three to five times longer, you need fewer trips to the market and you won't throw away as much wasted food.
• Make several casseroles, lasagnas or pies all at once, then vacuum package and freeze. You'll always have homemade dishes to share or serve guests without the hassle.
• Extend the life of berries and delicate vegetables like lettuce in FoodSaver® Canisters in the refrigerator.
• Keep the kid's clay fresh for art projects.
• Keep small items together like game pieces and doll shoes.
