Zusammenfassung:	A valve assembly is provided for use with a food storage container, including an opening formed in its lid member with at least one air channel formed between the container and the lid member. The valve assembly can be operated by a knob that, in a first position, unseats a check ball from a valve seat so that the valve assembly operates as a two-way valve able to work with a vacuum adapter in "marinate" mode or to open the lid member. In a second position, the check ball of the valve assembly unseats from the valve seat so that the valve assembly operates as a one-way valve that is operable to work with a vacuum adapter in "vacuum" mode to preserve the freshness of food contained therein. The valve assembly can be used with a vacuum system as part of a food storage container system.
