How to close ziplock bags? A simple trick will turn it into a vacuum bag

Ziplock bags are a handy kitchen tool that take up less space than containers and are durable enough to be reusable. Thanks to them, we do not lose additional space, and most importantly, the packaged products stay fresh longer. Each bag has a string, something like a zipper. Most people place the food inside and close the whole thing up. Sometimes it also happens that we squeeze air out of the food, which contributes to the development of mold and bacteria on the surface of the food. To quickly and easily change an ordinary ziplock bag into a vacuum bag, use… a straw.

1. Place the food in the bag.
2. Close it with the string placed on top.
