Ziplock plastic helps prevent contamination and maintain food quality longer.

Brilio.net - Many people rely on ziplock plastic to store various types of food to keep them fresh and clean. This packaging is practical to use because it can be closed tightly without the need for additional tools . Starting from snacks, raw food ingredients, to ready-to-eat foods, ziplock plastic helps prevent contamination and maintain food quality longer.

However, for those who want to ensure that food is truly airtight, a vacuum device is a more optimal solution. By sucking air from inside the packaging, this method can slow down the oxidation process and the growth of bacteria that cause food to spoil quickly. That is why foods such as meat, cheese, or dry foods are often packed with vacuum techniques, especially for long-term storage.

But the tools at home are limited and there is no vacuum or ziplock, you can use other more practical methods such as those of Instagram user @zifafiza_craft. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on one kitchen tool to fit the food plastic to make it tighter and remain airtight.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @zifafiza_craft on Tuesday (4/2), the kitchen utensil in question is a spoon. So, this spoon will be used to cover the hole in the plastic packaging. So at a glance, it will look the same as plastic that is ziplocked or vacuum sealed.

Now, for how to use it, you can put the food you want to store in the plastic. Please note that the type of plastic used will also affect this technique. It is better not to use plastic that is too thin or too thick so that the ends can be closed perfectly.

Next, take a spoon with a flat handle. After that, place the plastic packaging containing food on the cutting board. Then press the top end using the spoon. Press slowly while pulling the ends of the plastic so that the plastic can stick together.

Well, this method works like when plastic is heated with wax. So, the two sides of the pressed plastic will meet and stick together, like when it melts. Therefore, the ends of the pressed plastic will be tightly closed. Even if the food inside is shaken, the food will not spill because the packaging is tightly closed.
