An apparatus for the preservation and storage of perishable foods, the Food Preservelator prevents air from coming in contact with food, thus preventing decay and deterioration of the food. The invention may comprise a reusable, hard-shelled appliance into which food can be placed. On the door component of the invention may be a lever designed to lock the door shut, close and seal the front air vents and electrically activate a zero-pressure vacuum pump located on the back portion of the unit to extract air from inside the unit. When all of the air has been removed, the pump may automatically shut off. Vents on the front of the device can remain closed until opened by the door handle lever, which releases the vacuum within. A flexible gasket located around the entire perimeter of the door may be used to substantially guarantee a tight vacuum seal until the door and vents are opened via the door handle lever. |
