Zusammenfassung:	A food preservation container and related method of use is provided. The food preservation container includes a body including at least one sidewall and having an interior volume. There is a lid for removably attaching to the body for sealing the food preservation container in an air and liquid tight manner. An expandable medium is attached to the lid, the expandable medium includes a plurality of gussets normally in a compacted configuration against the lid. A port is formed in the at least one sidewall configured to connect to a source of suction. The suction is for evacuating the container and causing the expandable medium to expand away from the lid and into the interior volume. The expandable medium may be viewed through the sidewall of the body or from the exterior of the lid to provide a visual indication of whether the food preservation container is evacuated.
