Method and apparatus to perform quick vacuum evacuation from universal sealable vacuum containers or wine bottles

Abstract

A method and apparatus to perform effortless vacuum evacuation for food and wine preserving and meat marinating purpose. The vacuum method allows the apparatus to work with any food sealable vacuum container and wine bottle found on the market. The method also conveniently allows vacuum operation without using tubing to connect between sealable vacuum container and vacuum source. The food and wine vacuuming apparatus are of circular shape, which include vacuum chamber, vacuum source, control circuitry, vacuum switch, and solenoid release valve.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An appliance for vacuum evacuating operation on universal food sealable vacuum container, said appliance comprising:
 a vacuum chamber, said vacuum chamber is either in rectangular shape or circular shape, said circular vacuum chamber is made out of glass;   a vacuum chamber enclosure, said vacuum chamber enclosure is either an airtight door that is hingeably mounted at the front of the said rectangular vacuum chamber or an airtight lid that is removable from the top of the said circular vacuum chamber;   a vacuum source and control unit, said vacuum source and control unit is mounted at the back of said rectangular vacuum chamber on the top of said circular vacuum chamber;   a control panel, said control panel comprising operation buttons and indicating lights, said control panel is mounted at the front of the said rectangular vacuum chamber or on the top of said circular vacuum chamber.   
     
     
         2 . An appliance for vacuum evacuating wine bottle, said appliance comprising:
 a vacuum chamber, said vacuum chamber is of cylinder shape with one end opened and one end closed and made out of plexiglass;   a base unit, said base unit is airtight against the said vacuum chamber sitting above it and comprising vacuum source, control unit, and control panel.   
     
     
         3 . A method for vacuum evacuating universal food sealable vacuum container, said method comprising the steps of:
 turning the said vacuum source on;   monitoring vacuum level in the said vacuum chamber;   turning the said vacuum source off when vacuum level meets threshold;   quickly de-vacuuming said vacuum chamber to retain the food sealable vacuum container in vacuum state.   
     
     
         4 . A method for vacuum evacuating wine bottle, said method comprising the steps of:
 turning the said vacuum source on;   monitoring vacuum level in the said vacuum chamber;   turning the said vacuum source off when vacuum level meets threshold;   quickly de-vacuuming said vacuum chamber to retain the wine bottle in vacuum state.   
     
     
         5 . A method for vacuum evacuating that aid the meat marinating process, said method comprising the steps of:
 turning the said vacuum source on;   monitoring vacuum level in the said vacuum chamber;   turning the said vacuum source off when vacuum level meets threshold;   keeping the meat under vacuum state for a period of time;   De-vacuuming said vacuum chamber;   Repeat that vacuuming and de-vacuuming cycle few times for marinating Mode 1 and no repeat for marinating Mode 2.
