Restaurant-grade vacuum sealing built into the cabinetry

The Fisher & Paykel VB60SCX3 is a 60cm under-bench drawer that vacuum seals bags directly at the counter, at 596mm wide, 140mm high and 565mm deep, sized to sit neatly alongside a CoolDrawer or within a run of contemporary drawers finished in brushed silver.

Vacuum sealing removes air from the bag before it is sealed, so marinades penetrate faster, sous vide bags cook evenly without floating, and portioned meat, fish and produce last longer in the fridge or freezer without freezer burn. Because the mechanism sits in a drawer rather than a benchtop unit, there is no separate appliance to store, plug in or wipe down after each use, and the brushed silver front is finished to match Fisher & Paykel's contemporary drawer range rather than standing out as an add-on.

For a kitchen built around drawers instead of upper cabinets, this slots into the joinery run alongside warming or refrigeration drawers, keeping the workflow of portioning, sealing and storing food in one bench zone. It suits households doing regular meal prep, batch cooking or sous vide, where reaching for a bag sealer is part of the routine rather than an occasional task.

Buy this if…

• You cook sous vide regularly and want sealing built into the kitchen, not stored in a cupboard
• You batch cook or portion meat and fish and want it to last longer in the freezer
• You are specifying a run of Fisher & Paykel drawers and want a matching brushed silver finish
• You want vacuum sealing integrated at bench height rather than lifting a benchtop unit in and out
• You are fitting a 60cm drawer cavity and need exact dimensions to match surrounding joinery
