Vacuum Bag (240mic)

Q:Can Quiware® Bags / Rolls be put in the freezer?

A:Yes. The bags are ideal for the freezer because they will keep all air and moisture out, preventing food from getting freezer burn and becoming dry and tasteless.

Q:Are Quiware® Bags/Rolls safe for food use?

A.Yes. The bags are made of materials that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined to be safe for food use.

Q:Can Quiware® Bags be washed?

A:Yes, but it depends on the previous contents of the bag. Bags that previously contained fruits, vegetables, breads and dry goods can be washed and reused. Bags that contained raw meats, fish, eggs or un-pasteurized cheese should be discarded after use because they may contain invisible bacteria that will remain after washing. Bags that contained greasy or oily foods should also be discarded, as they may be difficult to clean. Quiware® Bags can be washed by hand. Dry completely. They can then be re-vacuumed.

Q:Can Quiware® Bags be put in the microwave?

A：Yes. You can heat cooked foods, such as leftovers, in a Quiware® bag. The bags should never be used to cook raw foods. When microwaving, cut open a corner of the bag before putting it in the microwave so steam can escape. Avoid microwaving foods containing a lot of oil, as oil will get hot very quickly and could cause the sides of the bag to stick together.

Q:Can Quiware® Bags be re-sealed?

A:Yes. Just cut off the existing seal, remove as much food as you need, then re-vacuum package. Be sure to wipe off any food or grease residue inside the bag near the seal area. You can also re-seal Quiware® Bags after you have washed them.

Q:Why do Quiware® Bags cost more than other plastic bags?

A:Other plastic bags are usually made of one layer of polyethylene (a type of plastic). Quiware® Bags are 3-layer including an outer layer of nylon. The nylon layer not only makes the bags stronger, it also creates a complete air, moisture and odor barrier. Unlike other bags, Quiware® Bags can be simmered in water or microwaved (so you can reheat leftovers or pre-cooked dinners).

Q:Will flour still get bugs in it after it is vacuum packed?

A:Insects and their larvae cannot survive in a low oxygen environment, such as that created when you vacuum package your dry foods such as flour, cornstarch, corn meal and cereals
