  • A game changer for preserving food freshness

    What I love about the Food Saver is that the vacuum sealing system has really helped to preserve the food’s flavour and freshness. As a busy mum being able to prep for school lunches on the weekend and save money by buying in bulk is a real game changer. I am also noticing that I have less food waste. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy the food saver was to use. Definitely would recommend!

  • Great way to save $$$

    WOW! This The FoodSaver® Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer was so easy to use. It seals, cuts, vac seals and marinates food in only 12 minutes.

    Such a great way to buy in bulk, save money and then seal and store freshly cut meat, chicken, veggies and other foods safely in the fridge and freezer, locking in the freshness.

    Will definitely be recommending this vac sealer to anyone who’s been looking at purchasing one.

  • Kitchen Staple

    Further to my review below, the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer has been well received in our household. I’ve enjoyed using it over the last 3 weeks. Items I’ve stored in the pantry are now no longer stale and as fresh as the day I opened it. Food kept in the freezer I know now will not be freezer burnt and just store well. I went and bought a bulk pack of chicken on special and divided them, vacuumed sealed and stored in the freezer. If I can save money thats an amazing bonus. I’m loving my FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer.

  • Save Money, Not Wasting Your Food

    I’ve been lucky to be selected to trial the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer and have been extremely happy with it. I’ve always been curious on how they worked and made your food last longer. The unit itself looks good and doesn’t take up too much room on your bench.

    The FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer has a number of different food storing options which is brilliant. You have the vacuum sealer roll, snap lock zipper bags and FoodSaver containers. Personally I love the zipper bags and FoodSaver containers as this is a much better option for the environment and can be reused over and over again.

    Looking at the product I was a little overwhelmed but trust me, it was super easy to use. It has 5 food settings depending on what you are trying to vacuum seal. For example if you are sealing something that is soft and you don’t want to crush it you would use the pulse mode which allows you to manually start and stop the vacuum process.

    The vacuum sealer can be used to store food in the freezer, fridge and pantry. Some of the items I vacuumed sealed were, chicken thigh fillets, dried apricots, celery, lemon and bacon to name a few. I really liked using the attached built-in removable accessory hose which retracted into the unit itself. Using this I was able to vacuum seal the reusable zipper bags and FoodSaver containers. When using the vacuum sealer rolls you are able to cut to the size needed and the roll is stored inside the unit itself.

    The cost of fresh food is expensive so using the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer I know that my food is going to last longer. In the couple of weeks of using the system I did notice food that I had vacuum sealed was fresher for longer.

    Overall the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is a kitchen dream. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

  • Saves Food, Energy and Money!

    I love the 5 food settings because it helps me, hubby or my MIL preserve, prepare and cook food. It’s so easy and very convenient to use! Seriously mums, dads and grandparents will love how easily this FoodSaver removes air out of the containers and zip bags to keep food fresh 5 times longer. Now we bulk buy to save, then vacuum seal our food to prevent any spoils and wastage. It’s so much better than how we used to store our food in the past!

  • Foos saver multi sealer

    Love love love this machine. It saves me so much time, money and brain power thinking of what to cook for dinner. Meal prep is quick and breezy. We have far less good wastage. The machine is incredibly easy to use. And with its multiple uses I highly recommend this product for every house hold. The vacuum containers are amazing too. If I’m not using them for marinating or storing left over cooked foods in the fridge, I can use them to store dry ingredients in the cupboard such as rice, oats, or cookies!

  • Food Saver

  • Game changer in our busy household!

    I can’t decide what I like best about this! The ability to fast track marinating as I ALWAYS forget, bulk buying and divvying it up to save money, saving ziplock bags when I bake school goodies without freezer burn, or making meal pre easy for hubby. A great product and highly recommended!

  • Love love love!

    I love all the functions and such easy use of the Food Saver! Prepped egg and bacon cheese muffins for the week, in the fridge and they were kept so fresh!
    I love the cutter bar it has to chop bags into the sizes you want.
    I also used it for sous vide and unlike other vacuum sealers, it doesn’t make a big mess when sealing wet foods.
    I love cooking, eating and anything to do with food in general! One happy Foodie right here.
    Thanks FoodSaver ☺️

  • Everyone needs one!

    I honestly can’t believe I’ve lived without a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer up until this point. I often buy meats in bulk or on sale and freeze it in little sandwich bags, in return the meat has freezer burn, is iced and doesn’t taste as fresh. We also buy traditional cured meats, which are a. Expensive and b. already vacuum sealed but once we open it, it’s sometimes takes weeks to finish and by that point it isn’t as fresh but with a vacuum seal, we’ll be able to keep it fresh for longer by pre-portioning it before hand. The FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is so easy to easy and seals within seconds. Comes with containers to seal leftover dinner air tight and fresh or meat marinates for a fresher taste.

  • No more freezer burnt items!

    I love the FoodSaver as it keeps my items packed really well in the freezer which reduces the formation of crystals and freezer burn. My food is fresher for longer. The zipper bags are super easy to write on also and I find this really useful for freezing as I can write the product, weight and date on it ie 1 kg beef mince, 5 July 23. Super easy to keep organised now.

  • This product is a must have!!

    Now more than ever there is a strong need to be able to stock up & store food. Inflation is hitting everyone\’s wallets hard and food prices have increased exponentially!

    That’s why I have been buying food in bulk when items are on special then vacuum sealing them for future meals using my new Food Saver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer. I have also been able to prep my meals ahead of time, vac seal them, freeze, defrost then eat. Which saves so much time and as a single mum I need all the help I can get. It’s super handy for saving leftovers and keeps them super fresh in the fridge, meaning less wastage. Another great reason why I love it is that it prevents freezer burn & it keeps my food fresh in the freezer for way way longer. In fact, the shelf life of many foods is up to FIVE times longer than with regular storage methods and if freezer storage instructions states that food could last up to three months, expect vac seals foods to possibly last up to a year!!!

    It has 5 settings that automatically adapt the vacuum and seal settings to suit your food.

    The best setting is the marinate programme which marinates food in around 12 minutes only by using vacuum power to pulse juices deep into food for optimum flavour infusion.

    It has a Container and zipper bag adaptor – The retractable accessory hose is built-in for ease, and is used to vacuum seal FoodSaver® containers and reusable vacuum zipper bags for fridge, pantry and on-the-go storage.

    Preserve, prep and cook!! You’ll never run out of reasons to use it!!!

  • Game changer!

    I have loved using our new food saver vacuum sealing system. I like to shop in bulk but struggle to keep everything fresh. The sealing system made it so easy to divide the food up when I get home from the shops and kept it fresh for so much longer than I expected. It took a couple of tries to figure out exactly how much of the roll I needed each time but now I am so quick at it! It’s just so easy to use. We love the vacuum setting for meats too.

  • Food saver, less waste

    My family loves the FoodSaver Controlled MultiSeal Vacuum Sealer. We have used it daily since it arrived, for multiple items.
    – bulk buy dry snacks – I like to buy larger bags of snacks and portion it out for lunch boxes. I can quickly re-seal bags of chips etc to keep them fresh
    – bulk buy meat – vacuum sealing helps prevent freezer burn, so I am happier saving money on bulk packs of meat and freezing small portions knowing they will stay fresh
    – meal prep – for meal prep days I can seal up all the prepped food and keep it fresh for the week ahead
    – less waste – keep food fresher longer With the foodsaver you can vacuum seal wet or dry fresh food, prepare food for sous vide cooking, and use the marinade setting to quickly marinate food.

I really liked using the attached built-in removable accessory hose which retracted into the unit itself. Using this I was able to vacuum seal the reusable zipper bags and FoodSaver containers. When using the vacuum sealer rolls you are able to cut to the size needed and the roll is stored inside the unit itself.

    The cost of fresh food is expensive so using the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer I know that my food is going to last longer. In the couple of weeks of using the system I did notice food that I had vacuum sealed was fresher for longer.

    Overall the FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is a kitchen dream. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

  • Everyone needs one!

    I honestly can’t believe I’ve lived without a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer up until this point. I often buy meats in bulk or on sale and freeze it in little sandwich bags, in return the meat has freezer burn, is iced and doesn’t taste as fresh. We also buy traditional cured meats, which are a. Expensive and b. already vacuum sealed but once we open it, it’s sometimes takes weeks to finish and by that point it isn’t as fresh but with a vacuum seal, we’ll be able to keep it fresh for longer by pre-portioning it before hand. The FoodSaver Controlled Multi Seal Vacuum Sealer is so easy to easy and seals within seconds. Comes with containers to seal leftover dinner air tight and fresh or meat marinates for a fresher taste.

  • Saves Food, Energy and Money!

    I love the 5 food settings because it helps me, hubby or my MIL preserve, prepare and cook food. It’s so easy and very convenient to use! Seriously mums, dads and grandparents will love how easily this FoodSaver removes air out of the containers and zip bags to keep food fresh 5 times longer. Now we bulk buy to save, then vacuum seal our food to prevent any spoils and wastage. It’s so much better than how we used to store our food in the past!

  • New age way to keep food fresh

    This was the first time I\’ve used something like this and it was a game changer. The first thing that struck me about this vacuum sealer is it feels and looks sturdy and high quality. It\’s very big though so takes up quite a bit of room on the kitchen bench.

    With a powerful motor and reliable seal, it effectively removes air from storage bags and the compatible containers. You can seal fruit, marinated meat, soups etc freshly and prevents any wastage.

    I can preserve dishes or raw meat in the freezer with these bags that take up less room, meaning more space for the freezer and more opportunities to prep food for those busy days.

  • Foos saver multi sealer

    Love love love this machine. It saves me so much time, money and brain power thinking of what to cook for dinner. Meal prep is quick and breezy. We have far less good wastage. The machine is incredibly easy to use. And with its multiple uses I highly recommend this product for every house hold. The vacuum containers are amazing too. If I’m not using them for marinating or storing left over cooked foods in the fridge, I can use them to store dry ingredients in the cupboard such as rice, oats, or cookies!

    I can’t decide what I like best about this! The ability to fast track marinating as I ALWAYS forget, bulk buying and divvying it up to save money, saving ziplock bags when I bake school goodies without freezer burn, or making meal pre easy for hubby. A great product and highly recommended!

  • Love love love!

    I love all the functions and such easy use of the Food Saver! Prepped egg and bacon cheese muffins for the week, in the fridge and they were kept so fresh!
    I love the cutter bar it has to chop bags into the sizes you want.
    I also used it for sous vide and unlike other vacuum sealers, it doesn’t make a big mess when sealing wet foods.
    I love cooking, eating and anything to do with food in general! One happy Foodie right here.
    Thanks FoodSaver ☺️

  • Easy to use

    Received my FoodSaver this week! Absolutely loved it! Easy to use and the FoodSaver vacuum sealed my food so quick. Loved that I could marinate my meats in the vacuum seal bags. Which also meant more room in the fridge to stack the vacuum sealed bags instead of containers and no leakage. Food stayed fresh longer and the meats marinated so evenly. I also found didn’t need to use food clips on any bags that were open as I sealed them closed using FoodSaver. I’ll be using this product a lot, as I’m a busy working mum of 3 and this means I can prep my food ahead and buy my meats for the week knowing they will stay fresh:) No more wastage!!!!!

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

    Reply

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
