Vacuum sealing food keeps it safe, fresh, and clean — lasting up to 8 times longer than normal storage. Read on to learn exactly how long frozen fish and other foods stay fresh, and how to store them properly in your fridge or freezer.
Why Storage Time Varies
How long food lasts depends on how it’s stored. For example, raw red meat keeps for just 2–3 days in the fridge, but 3–4 months in the freezer.
Got a great deal on meat but don’t plan to eat it soon?
Divide it into portions, vacuum-seal them, and freeze. You’ll be able to enjoy perfectly fresh meals months later — saving both money and time, without losing flavour.
Vacuum Sealing Beyond Meat
Vacuum sealing isn’t only for meat — it works wonders for fish, seafood, cheese, fruits, and vegetables too. Using Solis vacuum sealers and containers, you can preserve taste and nutrition for much longer.
