Vacuum sealing allows you to preserve your liquid-based foods so they stay fresh for longer periods of time. However, sealing foods that contain liquids can be tricky. But, with the right techniques and tools, you can easily seal soups, stews, marinades, and other liquid-rich foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I&#8217;ll walk you through the process of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"vacuum sealing\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/dry-canning-vs-vacuum-sealing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vacuum sealing<\/a> liquid-containing foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll cover the basics of vacuum sealing, the best practices for packaging and preparing food for vacuum sealing, the different techniques for sealing liquid foods, and the dos and don&#8217;ts of storing and using vacuum-sealed liquid foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Vacuum_Sealing\"><\/span>Understanding Vacuum Sealing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum sealing is the process of removing air from a packaging container and sealing it to protect the food inside. This is done to preserve the quality and freshness of the food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when it comes to foods that contain liquid, vacuum sealing becomes a bit more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With liquid-based foods, such as soups, sauces, and stews, you need to be careful not to suck out the liquid during the vacuum sealing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several techniques you can use to prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Techniques_for_Sealing_Liquid-Containing_Foods\"><\/span>Techniques for Sealing Liquid-Containing Foods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few different ways to seal liquid-containing foods with a vacuum sealer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Freezing &#8211; One of the easiest ways to seal liquid-containing foods is to freeze them first. This will solidify the liquid and make it easier to vacuum seal without any spillage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double bagging &#8211; Another option is to double bag the food. This involves placing the food in one bag and then placing that bag inside a second bag. The second bag will catch any liquid that may spill out during the vacuum sealing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a specially designed vacuum sealer &#8211; Some vacuum sealers, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/vakumar-vacuum-sealer-machine-review\/\">Vakumar Vacuum Sealer that I reviewed here<\/a> are designed specifically for foods that contain liquid. Such sealers typically have a drip tray that catches any liquid that may spill out during the vacuum sealing process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these techniques and best practices, you can successfully vacuum seal liquid-containing foods without any spillage or loss of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prep_Work_Choosing_the_Right_Packaging\"><\/span>Prep Work: Choosing the Right Packaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When vacuum sealing liquid foods, choosing the right packaging is crucial to preventing any spills or leaks during the process. The packaging you choose should be able to withstand the pressure of the vacuum without compromising the seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vacuum-Sealable_Bags\"><\/span>Vacuum-Sealable Bags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div><a class=\"amalinkspro-img-link apilink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0973DGD8P?tag=vacuumsealerreviews0f-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-alp-asin=\"B0973DGD8P\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51B0-Fe8f+L._SL500_.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" alt=\"20 Pack Vacuum Storage Bags, Space Saver Bags (4 Jumbo\/4 Large\/4 Medium\/4 Small\/4 Roll) Compression Storage Bags for Comforters and Blankets, Vacuum Sealer Bags for Clothes Storage, Hand Pump Included\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum-sealable bags are a popular choice for sealing liquid foods. However, not all bags are created equal. Look for bags that are specifically designed for vacuum sealing and are made of heavy-duty plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bags should be thick enough to prevent any punctures or tears during the vacuum sealing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before sealing, make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag. This will help avoid punctures and leaks during vacuum sealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave enough space at the top of the bag to ensure a good seal can be formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vacuum-Sealable_Containers\"><\/span>Vacuum-Sealable Containers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum-sealable containers are another option for sealing liquid foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a class=\"amalinkspro-img-link apilink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08NCWRRPB?tag=vacuumsealerreviews0f-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-alp-asin=\"B08NCWRRPB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41i5bIMYDtL._SL500_.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Avid Armor \u2013 Vacuum Containers for Food Storage, 3-Piece Set of Airtight Canisters, Non-BPA Coffee Storage Airtight Canister, Universal Hose Attachment Included, 2L, 1.4L, and 0.7L Set\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These are especially useful for soups, stews, and other liquid-rich foods. Make sure to choose containers that are designed for vacuum sealing and are made of sturdy plastic or glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The containers should have a good seal to ensure that no air can escape during the vacuum sealing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before sealing with a vacuum sealer, make sure to follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions for using the containers and, of course, if possible try and source <a href=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/5-disadvantages-of-vacuum-sealing-food\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1532\">BPA free containers<\/a> if you are storing food in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some vacuum sealers have specific settings for sealing with containers, while others may require an adapter for sealing with containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_the_Food_for_Vacuum_Sealing\"><\/span>Preparing the Food for Vacuum Sealing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before vacuum sealing any type of food, it is important to prepare it properly. When dealing with liquid-rich foods, it is essential to take extra care to avoid spills and leaks during the sealing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a class=\"amalinkspro-img-link apilink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01N2HE2HD?tag=vacuumsealerreviews0f-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-alp-asin=\"B01N2HE2HD\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/518Y7GUhh3L._SL500_.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" alt=\"NutriChef PKVS Sealer | Automatic Vacuum Air Sealing System Preservation w\/Starter Kit | Compact Design | Lab Tested | Dry &amp; Moist Food Modes | Led Indicator Lights, 12&quot;, Silver\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, make sure that your food is completely cooled before vacuum sealing. This is especially important for soups and other liquid-based dishes. If the food is still hot, it may create steam inside the vacuum-sealed package, which can compromise the quality of the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are sealing a dish that contains a lot of liquid, you can use a ladle or a spoon to carefully remove as much of the liquid as possible before sealing. This will help to reduce the risk of leakage and give you a better seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another helpful tip is to freeze the liquid-based dish before vacuum-sealing it. This will help to solidify the liquid, making it easier to handle and less likely to spill during the sealing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, when using a vacuum sealer with liquid-rich foods, make sure to leave enough room in the packaging for the liquid to move around. This will help to prevent the liquid from getting sucked up into the vacuum sealer, which can cause a messy and complicated cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Sealing_Techniques_for_Liquid_Foods\"><\/span>Advanced Sealing Techniques for Liquid Foods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have established, vacuum sealing liquid-rich foods can be a little tricky, but with the right preparation and technique, you can seal them just as well as dry foods. Here are some more advanced tips for vacuum-sealing foods with sauce or other liquids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_a_specialized_bag_or_pouch\"><\/span>1. Use a specialized bag or pouch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular vacuum <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"sealer bags\" href=\"https:\/\/vacuumsealercenter.com\/vacuum-sealer-bags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">sealer bags<\/a> can work well for some liquid-containing foods, but for particularly wet items, consider using specially designed bags or pouches. These often have a reinforced bottom or extra seal to prevent leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_a_%E2%80%9Cdrip_tray%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>2. Create a &#8220;drip tray&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re sealing a food that has a lot of liquid, such as soup or stew, create a &#8220;drip tray&#8221; inside the bag by folding a piece of wax paper or parchment paper in half and placing it at the bottom of the bag. This will catch any excess liquid and prevent it from getting into the seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_the_pulse_feature\"><\/span>3. Use the pulse feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many vacuum sealers have a pulse feature that allows you to control the suction. When sealing liquid-containing foods, use this feature to alternate between suction and release. This will prevent the liquid from getting sucked up into the machine and ruining the seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_a_jar_attachment\"><\/span>4. Use a jar attachment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re sealing a particularly liquidy food, such as marinade or sauce, consider using a jar attachment. These allow you to vacuum seal the liquid in a jar rather than a bag, which can be much easier and less messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these tips and tricks, you can vacuum seal just about any liquid-containing food with ease. Just remember to take your time, use the right equipment and technique, and always double-check your seals before storing or freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storing_and_Freezing_Vacuum-Sealed_Liquid_Foods\"><\/span>Storing and Freezing Vacuum-Sealed Liquid Foods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have successfully vacuum-sealed your liquid-rich foods, it&#8217;s time to store or freeze them properly. Vacuum sealing food with liquid is an effective way to prevent freezer burn and increase the shelf life of your food. Here are some tips for storing and freezing vacuum-sealed liquid foods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Label_Your_Packages\"><\/span>Label Your Packages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to label your packages with the date and the type of food.
