Ever since the start of my blog, I’ve been trying to help ‘Happy & Me’ followers stretch their budgets. What can I say, I love saving money! There are a lot of tips and tricks we can all follow to reduce food waste. Some devices make saving our fresh ingredients even easier. These Zwilling vacuum bags are called Fresh and Save. They are BPA-free vacuum bags and are also eco-friendly due to the reusable design of the easy-zip closure bags.

Let’s be honest, we all use Ziploc bags (and all off-brand imitations) and we know they are bad for the environment. The world is experiencing a crisis of plastic pollution unlike never before, and Ziploc bags are essentially not recyclable. The Brand Zwilling j.a. Henckels developed a Fresh & Save system which has a handheld vacuum sealer that works with compatible tight seal plastic bags to keep long-lasting freshness. It also included a liquid barrier so you can vacuum-packing without sucking in liquids.

The cordless vacuum pump is extremely easy to use because of its compact design and is compatible with vacuum containers and small, medium, and large bags from the Fresh & Save system. So much better than a ziploc, with a push of a button you get the perfect seal in seconds.

The Fresh & Save vacuum bags can be reused and hand-washed if used with dry ingredients like bread, snacks, and vegetables, but are recommended as one-use for storing or cooking raw meat, cheese, and eggs.

With the Fresh & Save system, you can shop once a week and refrigerate or freeze fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish in our vacuum containers and bags and enjoy the benefits of your own fresh market at home.

Prepare your meals days in advance and enjoy them as fresh as the day they were cooked. Cook meat sous vide or marinate meat for the grill in just 30 minutes in the vacuum bags. Here’s how it works: Simply fill the bag and close with the practical leak-proof zipper. Dock the vacuum pump onto the bag valve and at the push of a button extract the air in mere seconds. It stops automatically once a sufficient vacuum has been obtained. Then simply press the push button in the middle of the red silicone valve on the bag to seal it securely.
