Find the right vacuum drawer in 3 steps

1. Choose the height

The VD15 is 15 cm high and fits below a compact 45 cm oven in a 60 cm niche. The VD45 needs its own 45 cm niche and has a 17.1 litre chamber.

2. Choose the colour

VD15 in stainless steel or black (Total Black), VD45 in stainless steel with a steel handle.

3. Think about bags

A chamber sealer uses smooth vacuum bags, cheaper than the embossed bags for external sealers. Glass jars work too.

Why vacuum seal?

  • Longer fresh: without oxygen food keeps up to five times longer.
  • Sous vide: cooked in a vacuum bag at low temperature, meat stays tender.
  • Fast marinating: under vacuum a marinade soaks in within minutes.
  • No freezer burn.

The VD45 shares its 45 cm niche with the Fhiaba blast chiller: seal, then blast freeze.

Frequently asked questions

What is a vacuum drawer?

A built-in drawer with a vacuum chamber. The pump evacuates the chamber with the bag inside and then seals the bag, so solids and liquids can both be sealed.

Can I use it for sous vide?

Yes. Fhiaba drawers reach near-total vacuum, ideal for sous vide in a steam oven or water bath.

Which bags do I need?

Smooth chamber vacuum bags, which cost less than embossed bags. Glass jars can be vacuumed too.
