6. Vacuum packaging machines vs Vacuum Food Boxes and Vacuum Bags

What are the advantages of vacuum packaging machines compared to vacuum food boxes?

Vacuum packaging machines for home use are mainly used to vacuum pack food into bags. They are excellent for long-term storage in the freezer and for portioning large quantities of food. Vacuum food boxes, on the other hand, offer a flexible solution for daily use, are reusable and are well suited for both the fridge and freezer. The food boxes can also be used directly in the oven or microwave, giving more versatility.

What are the disadvantages of vacuum packaging machines compared to vacuum food boxes?

Vacuum packaging machines can be expensive and take up a lot of space in the kitchen. They also require special vacuum bags which are usually disposable products, which makes them less environmentally friendly than vacuum food boxes which can be reused time and time again. Vacuum food boxes are easier to use and maintain, and do not require a machine to extract the air.

How do reusable vacuum bags compare to vacuum packaging machines?

Reusable vacuum bags offer similar benefits to vacuum packaging machines, but they are much more flexible and environmentally friendly. They can be used multiple times and do not require a machine to create the vacuum, making them more cost effective and easier to store. In contrast, vacuum packaging machines are usually better for larger quantities of food and long-term storage in the freezer.

Which solution is best for daily use?

For daily use, vacuum lunch boxes and reusable vacuum bags are the most practical options. They are easy to use, can be reused many times and are both space-saving and cost-effective. Vacuum packaging machines are more suitable for those who want to vacuum pack large quantities of food for long-term storage.
