Win a Jumbo Magic Vac vacuum packing machine worth more than £1,000
As an indispensable part of food preparation in the kitchen, caterers are now more than ever becoming increasingly reliant on vacuum packing as an everyday work tool.
Vacuum packing enables the caterer to enhance the storage time of their food products. The process makes it possible for caterers to cook large amounts of foods which can then be separated into portions to be kept in a fridge or freezer, resulting in less food wastage and ultimately saving valuable time and money.
Using such a system in the kitchen enables the cost-conscious operator to purchase produce less frequently and in larger quantities, which can be particularly beneficial during short seasonal periods where there is often a rapid deterioration of certain foods.
Product Zone has teamed up with MCS Technical Products to offer readers the chance to win a Jumbo Magic Vac vacuum packing machine worth more than £1,600.
The prize
The winner will receive a Jumbo Magic Vac which comes with a two-year parts and labour warranty. Constructed in top quality stainless steel, this high performance heavy duty machine has been specifically designed for today's fast moving catering industry.
Besides its very quick vacuum packing capability, the Magic Vac also has a unique marinating function which can reduce marinating time to as little as 12 minutes, enabling chefs who are under extreme time pressures to quickly develop their own varied and creative menu ideas.
Its features include a self-lubricating double pump for faster vacuum, a 435mm sealing bar with forced air cooling for continuous operation, a unique rapid Auto-Marinating functionality and an adjustable sealing time with three settings.
