Portion control, made simple.
 The
Seal-a-Meal®
System helps support your healthy lifestyle with quick and easy portion control.
When it's time for dinner, all you have to do is remove your serving-sized entrée
from the freezer and pop it into the microwave—without having to think about
measuring or weighing anything along the way. Here are some more tips:
- Create custom-sized bags for small portions of meat, poultry and fish or vegetables
and fruit of all sizes, using the Built-in Bag Roller and Cutter on your Vacuum
Food Sealer or Bag Roll Holder and Cutter accessory.
- Divide large entrees into serving-size portions and only thaw and heat the minimum
amount you need, to avoid the temptation to eat more.
-
