The FoodSaver system helps prevent freezer burn, keeps foods fresher and more flavorful, and even protects nonfood items--keeps silver from tarnishing, for example. This is done through a vacuum process and the use of heavy-duty FoodSaver bags. The FoodSaver Stor 'N Cut is both a receptacle for those bags and also a cutting tool for making custom-sized storage bags. It is intended for use in tandem with the more basic FoodSaver vacuum sealers. The slim Stor 'N Cut has a simple roll-back lid that makes changing the bag rolls easy, and it's adjustable for either the 8-inch or 11-inch rolls. FoodSaver bags can be cut to size because every storage task is different. They can be used to repackage purchases in portions sized for various needs. Meals prepared in advance and sealed in FoodSaver bags can be taken right from the freezer or refrigerator and boiled or reheated in the microwave.
Always unplug the Stor 'N Cut before cleaning; it is not immersible. Clean using a mild dishwashing soap and a warm, damp cloth; do not use any abrasive pads or cleansers. FoodSaver bags are reusable. Wash bags in warm water using a mild dishwashing soap, or turn inside out and spread over top rack of dishwasher. Allow bags to dry thoroughly before reusing. Bags that have been used to store raw meats, fish, or greasy or fatty foods may not be reusable. The Stor 'N Cut comes with a detailed instruction pamphlet. Tilia guarantees its FoodSaver products with a one-year limited warranty. --Garland Withers
