FoodSaver Canisters
There are three styles of FoodSaver
Canisters – Designer, Square, and
Bulk Storage. They are ideal for
storing delicate items and liquids,
as well as dry goods and cooking
staples. The
Canisters
come in a
variety of
sizes and
all can be
used in the refrigerator
and pantry. Canisters are not to
be used in the freezer.
FoodSaver
Designer
Canisters are
especially
attractive for
use on your
countertop.
Vacuum packaging in the
FoodSaver Square Canister is an
excellent way to marinate foods
because the process opens the
pores of the
food and seals
in the flavor.
The Vac 550
can marinate food in 20 minutes
so you don’t have to wait all day
or overnight for that special taste.
All FoodSaver Canisters work for
marinating, but we recommend
the Square Canister because less
marinade will be needed.
The Bulk Storage Canisters are
designed to store pantry items
such as cereal, chips, rice, and
baking goods.
