VonShef Premium Vacuum Sealer / Vacuum Food Sealer for Preserving & Marinating Foods & FREE 15 Pack of Bags
The VonShef Vacuum Sealer is perfect for preserving, storing, marinading, and sous vide style cooking.
Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and flavour, enabling bacteria, mould and yeast to grow. Freezing produce in non-airtight packaging also causes freezer burn, which taints the produce with dried out oxidised patches.

Shef Electric Food & Fruit Dehydrator, Dryer Preserver Machine with Adjustable Temperature Control
A food dehydrator slowly extracts moisture & preserves foods by using low levels of heat (35-70 °C). Removing the moisture inhibits the growth of bacteria and helps to preserve the food.
The food dehydrator has 5 tiers for conveniently preserving multiple food types, with an adjustable temperature control allowing you to dry different types of food at the correct temperatures. Built in is the motor, fan and ventilating function, as well as a safety overheating protection device. The drying trays are easy to wash and measure 31cm diameter and 3.5cm deep, so that thicker cut foods can be used without hassle.
Dehydrating food is practiced around the world as a natural method of preservation, which dates back to ancient times, and makes a healthy snack, helping incorporate healthier foods into your or your children’s diet. Drying food both reduces the size (allowing for easier storage in jars/lunchboxes) and retains the healthiness (vitamins, nutrients and minerals) of fruit and vegetables.
Dehydrating is also great for extending fruit seasons, so you can have great food year-round.
