Product Information
Full details
This ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum box (Size M, 1.1 L, Blue La Mer) is designed for home cooks looking to extend the freshness of their food, preserve nutrients, and reduce waste. Its key benefit is keeping food fresh up to 5 times longer than traditional storage, saving you time and money. A minor caveat is that it requires a compatible ZWILLING vacuum pump to achieve its full potential. The box is made from durable, BPA-free plastic, is safe for microwave, freezer, and fridge use, and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. A unique QR code on the lid allows for easy tracking of freshness via the ZWILLING app.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How long does food typically stay fresh?
Food stored in ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum boxes can stay fresh up to 5 times longer than in conventional storage, meaning weeks or even months depending on the food type and initial freshness.
Do I need a special vacuum pump?
Yes, this box requires a ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum pump. Standard food sealers or other brands' pumps are not compatible with the valve system.
Can I put the box in the freezer?
Yes, the ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum boxes are freezer-safe.
Is the box microwave-safe?
Yes, the box is microwave-safe, but you must remove the vacuum pump before placing it in the microwave.
How do I clean the box?
The box and lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Ensure the valve is clean before washing.
What does the QR code do?
The QR code on the lid allows you to easily track your food's freshness and storage date using the ZWILLING app, helping you reduce food waste.
What does BPA-free mean?
BPA-free means the plastic used in the box and lid does not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that some people prefer to avoid in food storage containers.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum pump not sealing or losing seal quickly.
Ensure the lid is closed properly and the valve is clean and seated correctly. Check the silicone seal inside the lid for any damage. Verify the vacuum pump is correctly attached to the valve.
Food appears to be spoiling faster than expected.
Confirm that the vacuum pump created a sufficient seal. Ensure the box is stored at the appropriate temperature (refrigerator or freezer). Check the expiration date of the food itself.
QR code not scanning or app not recognizing the box.
Ensure the QR code is clean and dry. Try repositioning your phone or using a different scanning app if the ZWILLING app has issues. Make sure the lid is properly seated.
Box retaining odors.
Wash the box thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Storing strongly-scented foods can sometimes lead to minor odor retention in plastic; consider using a glass container for very potent items.
