Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Touch Vac made out of?
A: The durable, patented Touch Vac lid is constructed out of polycarbonate, the same material used to make aircraft windshields. The base is made out of polypropylene.

Q: Where can I use Touch Vac?
A: Touch Vac is freezer, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher safe. It can be taken straight from the freezer to the microwave and to the dishwasher, time and time again.

Q: How does the date dial work?
A: This great feature allows you to indicate the date you stored your food. Simply turn the dial to that day's date…no more wondering how long food's been in there!

Q: Is there a guarantee or warranty?
A: Yes. There is a 12 MONTH guarantee and warranty which is explained when you receive your Touch Vac.

Q: Is this the same kind of vacuum as I can get with a Vacuum Machine?
A: No. This is a highly effective vacuum seal, but only a vacuum motor can create a total vacuum. You will love the easy, simple and affordable convenience of Touch Vac, especially for storing leftovers and smaller items.

Q: How does Touch Vac work?
A: As you can see from the web-demonstrations, fit the top around the rim, lock down the handles (just push them down and they are "locked") and push firmly down in the center of the top. You can actually hear the air escaping and see the red vacuum indicator go down. You have then created the vacuum seal.

Q: How do I know it is really sealed?
A: Once you have pushed the top down and the red vacuum indicator is down, you can actually lift the handles back up and pick up the entire container and the air tight seal will keep the top on all by itself!!

NOTE: Please use common sense when trying this. In the larger containers, gravity may be a stronger force than the seal created and it is possible for it to come apart!!!

Q: What if the red vacuum indicator doesn't go all the way down?
A: To make sure no air escapes through the red rubber indicator, we have made them a little thicker than the original indicators. If you have pressed down on the top and the indicator hasn't gone down, lightly touch the red indicator, and if the seal is created, it will go down with just a little help, but it won't stay unless the seal is created.

Q: Are Touch Vac's easy to store?
A: Yes. You can stack them inside each other when not using them, and they stack very nicely on top of each other in the refrigerator or the freezer when there is food in them.
