Amcor SelfVent VFFS – the French Choice for Microwavable Potatoes

The Amcor SelfVent VFFS system from Amcor Flexibles has been chosen by French company Touquet Savour for a new product in its potato range – “Les prêtes à cuire” – in which the 500g pack of small potatoes cooks in just a few minutes in the microwave.

Amcor SelfVent VFFS is a patent pending steam venting system developed especially for fresh produce for use in the microwave. Amcor SelfVent packs can be placed directly into the microwave without the need for piercing or tearing of the packs. The system has been developed to save time for the consumer - cutting cooking time by around 70% compared to the conventional hob cooking method - and with the added environmental benefit of saving energy. Steaming the potatoes in the pack also aids with vitamin retention – making the potatoes even more healthy!
