Basics

How does Frisper work?
The frisper works by creating a small hole in the bag and then vacuuming out the air from that hole. Once the air is removed, the frisper automatically creates a heat seal ring around the hole to prevent air from re-entering. Each time you frisp, you’ll want to use a new circle on the frisper’s Vac-Snap™ bag. For more information, or to see the frisper in action, you may wish to watch a demonstration video HERE

What can I frisp™
You can frisp just about anything you want to keep fresher longer. The frisper was designed first & foremost for solid foods; however, it also does a great job preserving other valuable items, from silvers (no air means no tarnishing) to silks (no moisture, no pests, no problem). For use with wet foods and liquids, we recommend you follow special instructions in our usage manual.

What is the advantage Frisper vs. conventional vacuum sealers?
The frisper marks a significant step forward in vacuum sealing, with a number of unique benefits vs. more traditional vacuum sealers. First, the frisper is significantly smaller than most others, without compromising on professional vacuum power – so you get the power you want in a device that fits easily on countertops and/or in drawers. Second, the frisper system uses its own special zipper-top bags, so you can easily access stored items without having to cut open each bag. Third, because of the zipper-top feature, you can reuse frisper’s Vac-Snap™ bags up to 20 or more times each, making it very economical as well as convenient.

How is the frisper™ different from handheld vacuum systems?
The frisper system offers professional strength vacuuming including a higher level of vacuuming than most battery-operated handheld systems can achieve. This is important because it is the removal of air that keeps foods fresher longer. Additionally, frisper’s Vac-Snap™ bags have more layers than do most of the others, thereby helping to keep out the air and odors.

Can I use any zipper-top bag?
The frisper works exclusively with its own Vac-Snap™ zipper top bags. Traditional zip-top bags are designed to contain food, not to create an airtight, vacuumed environment. Frisper’s Vac-Snap bags, on the other hand, are designed for vacuum sealing and long-term preservation. Among their unique features, they are specially textured on the inside to help facilitate air removal, they are multi-layered to lock out air and odors after sealing, and they are heavy-duty to handle heat sealing and repeated uses. Each of frisper’s quart-size bags can be vacuum-sealed and reused 12 or more times, and the gallon-sized bags can be vacuum-sealed and reused 20 or more times each.

Is the frisper™ compatible with other vacuum sealing systems?
Because the frisper is so innovative in how it approaches vacuum sealing, other systems and their products are not compatible with the frisper.

How small is Frisper?
Frisper is about the size of your hand. It can be stored conveniently on a counter or in a drawer.

Do I need batteries?
Frisper needs to be plugged in to the supplied AC Adaptor.

Can I use any AC Adaptor?
Only use the supplied AC Adaptor.

How do I know when the bag is done?
After you place the bag and close the lid, Frisper will vacuum and seal automatically. When the light is blinking orange and the sound stops, press the button to release the lid and remove the bag.

Can I Frisp anywhere on the bag?
It is recommended to Frisp on the sealing circles on the bag.

Can I reheat the food in the bag?
Vac-Snap bags are made of durable multi-layered material. You can reheat the food in boiling water or in a microwave.

Is Frisper dishwasher safe?
The removable Drip-Tray is dishwasher safe, except for the Foam Press Pad and the rubber o-ring.
