Stop throwing away food and start saving money!
Discover the products that will keep your food fresh for up to 5 times longer compared to conventional food storage methods.
Lasting Freshness is an affordable vacuum-seal food storage system that extends the life of fresh, frozen, dry, or cooked food well beyond its normal life!
This patented, hand-operated vacuum system provides convenient and quick food preservation without the need for expensive, bulky electric systems.
Available in many sizes in four different shapes.
| Container is losing seal | Try removing and re-inserting the gasket (the silicone band around the perimeter of the lid) and valve (located in the center of the lid). You can also wash these components as an added precaution. In our experience, it's possible that some products could require recalibration prior to use, or if they don't work as intended out of the box. |
| Still not holding the seal | Additionally, you can take the valve from a container lid that is functioning as expected and swap it with the container lid that is not functioning as expected. If the transplanted valve holds after the swap, it is a good indication the original valve was either seated incorrectly or faulty. If you feel vacuum is no longer holding up then most likely you have some food debris stuck in the valve and/or gasket. Remove these and wash them thoroughly. |
| How long do I pump? | A few pumps until you feel the resistance. You do not need to over pump it. |
| The lid's buckles are open | Lasting Freshness container lids are designed to work with OR without the support buckles in locked position. The buckles are designed to reinforce the container and are not required for an optimal vacuum seal. If any or all of the support buckles should become unlocked during use, please know the vacuum seal will continue to hold until it is released. This is because the vacuum seal is entirely facilitated by our proprietary valve (with pumping action) and silicone gasket. |
| Is it dishwasher safe? | The lid is safe for the upper rack and the containers are safe for upper and lower racks. You do not need to take valve and/or gasket out from the lids before washing them. If you feel vacuum is no longer holding up then most likely you have some food debris stuck in the valve and/or gasket. Remove these and wash them thoroughly. |
| Is it refrigerator safe? | The Lasting Freshness container does NOT substitute the use of a refrigerator, and all foods in the container should be stored according to their recommended storage temperature. Regardless of the food that is placed in the Lasting Freshness container, perishable items should be placed in a refrigerator and dry foods can be stored at room temperature. |
| Is it microwave safe? | The vacuum containers are refrigerator safe, freezer safe, microwave safe, and are BPA free. Caution: Do not microwave the containers for more than 3 minutes and/or when the container is vacuum sealed. |
| How long does food stay fresh? | It depends on the freshness of your food before its placed in the container or vacuum freezer bag. Additionally, the Lasting Freshness containers and bags must be sealed properly. In general, if you are able to seal the product successful, you should be able to double or triple the shelf life within the vacuum sealed containers in the refrigerator. If you place in the freezer, it will stay fresh well beyond that. |
