ZWILLING’S exclusive FRESH & SAVE technology preserves flavours and nutrients, prevents freezer burn, and keeps food fresh up to five times longer than non-vacuum food storage methods, and all at the press of a button! What’s more, the FRESH & SAVE solution makes life simpler, as it’s aimed at helping people to organise better, using up leftovers and re-heating preprepared meals, making it ideal for busy lifestyles and meals on the go, fitting in perfectly with the batch-cook and meal prep trend. FRESH & SAVE keeps food fresh, saves time and money and tackles sustainability and wasteful packaging. All products feature a QR code which takes the guesswork out of knowing how long leftovers or prepped food has been in the back of the fridge. With the ZWILLING Culinary World app, the user will always know what they’ve sealed and how long it will remain fresh. It even provides tasty recipes, matching stored ingredients. The compact Vacuum Pump along with Vacuum Boxes, Vacuum Bags and Vacuum Wine Sealer are all created by ZWILLING to offer the perfect solution to food waste and sustainability. Each product offers functional, timeless design, with ZWILLING’S Double Sealing technology and a 24-month guarantee. Customers can choose to buy products individually or in a set, such as the Glass Starter Set, £89.95, which includes the Vacuum Pump, a large and medium Glass Container and four Vacuum Bags.
ZWILLING has a long history of engineering innovative ways to connect in the kitchen. Designing and producing knives in Solingen, Germany, ‘The City of Blades’, since 1731, the company has gone on to be of one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of kitchen knives, scissors, cookware and flatware. ZWILLING’S latest innovation couldn’t have come to the market at a better time. With food waste at an all-time global high, ZWILLING has taken the lead by launching a new FRESH & SAVE vacuum food storage sealing system which is revolutionising how groceries and meals are stored.
FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Wine Sealer
The new ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE collection also includes a dishwasher-proof Vacuum Wine Sealer, used to keep wine and juices fresh and flavoursome for longer, as well as locking the aroma in. It can also be used for oils and vinegars for cooking. (Advance warning for users: take care not to use it for fizzy drinks. If you happen to open that Champagne or Prosecco, you’re just going to have to drink it all!).
FRESH & SAVE Glass Vacuum Boxes
ZWILLING’S FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Boxes are extremely versatile and can be added individually or bought in sets of three. The cold and heat-resistant glass boxes come in small, medium and large sizes as well as a gratin dish and a flatter box which is ideal for cold meats and deli items. The glass vacuum boxes come with a BPA-free plastic lid with vacuum function, which, when used with the Vacuum Pump, keeps food fresh for up to five times longer, preserving food’s flavours, vitamins and nutrients. It can be used for leftovers and pre-prepared meals, or to freeze raw produce without the risk of freezer burn. Suitable for use in ovens up to 180°C (with the lid removed), microwaves and dishwashers, the glass boxes can be stacked inside one another to save space after use.
FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Bag Sets
Add to the FRESH & SAVE collection with ZWILLING vacuum bag sets which are BPAfree and reusable. They are also easily sealed securely by simply using the included zipper. The bags are ideal for freezing fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, fish, meat and bread. They are also perfect for marinating meat or fish as well as sous-vide cooking. There’s even a marinating aid that stops liquid from entering the pump. The vacuum bags are temperature resistant (-18˚C to +100˚C) and suitable for heating food in the microwave, so there’s no need to worry about freezer burn again. Like the lids of our containers, the plastic bags also feature the QR code for use with the ZWILLING Culinary World app, which reminds the user of the food’s best before date.
FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Pump
The sleek and wireless FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Pump is always ready to go and has a simple one-button on-and-off operation and automatically stops when the correct level of vacuum suction has been achieved. It only takes a few seconds to complete the vacuum process and it can be recharged using the USB cable included. It’s whisper-quiet, easy to use and ultra-convenient - perfect for everything from keeping ingredients and meals fresh to extending the life of fresh herbs.

FRESH & SAVE Plastic Vacuum Boxes
The ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE Vacuum Boxes also come in plastic, which are sturdy, lightweight and BPA-free. Just like the glass versions, the lids include a vacuum valve made of silicone and are available in small, medium and large sizes as well as a handy lunchbox with little compartments for different foods. The plastic designs can also be stored in the fridge or freezer and are microwave and dishwasher-proof. As with the glass boxes, the plastic Vacuum Boxes feature a QR code on the lid for the ZWILLING Culinary World app. Once activated, the app reminds users of the food’s best before date.
ZWILLING Culinary World App
Helping to reduce food waste even further, ZWILLING has also developed a useful Culinary World app, which gives users of its FRESH & SAVE products the ability to have a really good overview of their food storage with best before dates clearly visible. Simply scan the QR code on the Vacuum Bag or Vacuum Box lid with a smartphone or tablet and type in the contents of said bag or box. Select whether it’s going to be stored in the cupboard, fridge or freezer and the app will calculate the extended shelf life, reminding the user before the prepared meal or food expires. The app also includes a host of additional practical food features such as shopping lists, recipes and more.
