Yes. The FoodSaver® Square Canister is the perfect item for marinating foods. Foods will marinate in minutes when vacuum packaged because the vacuum process opens the pores of the food and absorbs the marinade more quickly. The base of the square canister is microwavable, making it perfect for re-heating foods. You can also marinate in FoodSaver® Bags or FoodSaver® Canisters.

There is not a specific canister to vacuum pack bread, but you can use the 6 Quart Bulk Storage Canister. If the loaf of bread is too long, just take some of the slices and place them down inside the canister surrounding the rest of the loaf. However, it has been our experience that if you must vacuum pack the same loaf more than once, it tends to remove the flavor of the bread and can make the bread go flat.
