I've been doing this for a few years too, especially with the used glass jars.👍 JUST A NOTE: If you're sealing a powder (spices, milk, etc.), put a barrier on top. This keeps the powder from getting sucked out of the jar. You can use paper towel, coffee filter, muffin liner, a piece of fabric ... Blessings! 💜

Growing up on a New Hampshire farm in the late 30s and 40s during the War, my mother, grandmother, and aunts did a lot of vegetable canning during the late summer and fall, The kitchen pantry was full of food preserved in the ubiquitous Mason jars of the era. Squash, apples, and potatoes would usually keep well in the dirt floor cellar, as well as carrots which we generally left in the sand until needed. No refrigerator, but during the summer, a neighbor supplied us with blocks of ice for our icebox. Unpasturized fresh milk from the cows, and when we wanted real butter instead of the store margarine, my grandmother would make it from the cream from the cows milk. During the War, we needed ration stamps for a lot of stuff bought from stores, but the stuff we got from the farm was great in those years.

I've mentioned this before in a couple of places, but I think it bears repeating. One thing that happened with my vacuum sealed jars that I was not expecting at all happened when we had a tornado pass our house and I'm talking very close to our house. There was no damage, but it was within several 100 yd of our house. I don't even know if it actually touched the ground, but it was incredibly loud. I was checking doors and windows and concerned that they were going to pop out. As I got close to my pantry, I could hear ping after ping. My heart sank. Jars were unsealing. That was scary! After everything was over, I started checking jars. No conventionally canned jars lost their seal. And for some mystifying reason, only about 15 half gallon and gallon jars setting on the concret floor unsealed. Other vacuum sealed jars setting only a couple feet higher and all the way to the top shelves didn't unseal. I sealed them back and counted my blessings.
@adb8888 ай бұрын
Extreme drop in air pressure, likely concentrated at a lower height due to the air being sucked out at the bottom of the doors first - this is usually where there are bigger gaps. Also, conventionally canned jars are done in a different (industrial) manner, and the seals are extremely air tight. Just my theory FYI...

If you slightly warm the lids on a heating pad or the warming burner on your electric stove they usually seal better, but be careful not to burn yourself. Also you can use a brake line bleeder on this if you don’t have a food saver or use the little hand held ziplock vacuum bag sealer. I ordered the brake bleeder and ziplock hand held from Amazon . I think I spent like $30. And the brake bleeder can be used when you have no electricity. Made a video about this canister method probably 8 years ago or so. Glad to see someone else using this and recycling glass jars. You can also use your small standard Campbell soup cans and use a regular recycled canning lid in the canisters to seal in them. After thoroughly washing the cans and sterilization in my dishwasher I let them air dry more on my counter a few days to make sure they are dry so nothing dry I put in them spoils.

@@katiejon17, yes absolutely. For dry goods it works great, especially for jars that don't except regular mason jar lids. One item we keep in vacuum sealed jars are our bulk dried spices, things that we don't use often, keeps them fresh almost indefinitely. We also do this for things like spaghetti sauce. My wife and I may use half a jar of sauce for dinner, we put the lid back on, put in the vacuum chamber, reseal the jar, and put it in the fridge. It'll last weeks and even months that way. The same with things like the big tins of peaches for example, whatever we don't use we put the rest in jars, seal them in the vacuum chamber if they're not mason jars. If they are then we use the foodsaver lid sealer, and put them in the fridge. Our vacuum sealer is probably the second most used small appliance in our kitchen, next to the coffee maker. But we don't use this to replace actual water bath or pressure canning for long term storage.

That is awesome! I'll need to purchase the cannister but I tend to save a few jars in my hutch for the times when I make batches of sauce, salsa, etc and want to freeze them in amounts suitable for two people.

Thank you so much! I feel guilty every time I put a glass jar in for recycling and have to throw away the metal top. Such a waste of resources! Now that I want to buy food in bulk, I am looking at methods for storing it and what to buy. More glass jars and lids! I will check out the links in the description. Do you buy beans, peas, nuts etc in bulk? Can you recommend a good source? Thanks!

How exactly do you do that? You've just put me in a state of shock 😲 My mind is racing with all sorts of questions. What kinds of things do you pressure seal.
@Valeriekaygo Жыл бұрын
Just use them as you would any ball or kerr jars/lids. Follow same procedures, wiping rims, warming lids before placing them, fingertip tight. The rubber on the commercial jars is actually thicker and holds up better than the flimsy flats, though most times you can get multiple seals from them as well. Anything you would normally pressure can, soups, veggies, meats, beans, etc. @@pamellamitchell2380
@Valeriekaygo Жыл бұрын
Also, I am always sure to get the labels and glue from the jars and sterilize just the same way you would care for your normal canning jars. Some are tough to remove but orange oil works to dissolve the glue and remove it completely. Spaghetti sauce, pickles, olives, jelly, sauerkraut, cheese, salsa jars are all good and work in the pressure canner as long as they are glass and have lids with rubber seals. @@pamellamitchell2380

Can you drill a small hole in the lid of a locking container and use that to set jars into? Seems like it would work like your set up, but I don't want to ruin my lock n seal container! Haha
@netdoctor1Ай бұрын
Yes it will. You're creating a vacuum in your container, and when you allow your container to re pressurize, the jars will seal. Try it on something not valuable.

Hello, I just purchased the set of containers.. what a great idea as the pressure inside the jars equalize with the outer jar.. it pulls the air out of the inner seal and when you release the vacuum on the outer jar the seal on the inside jar will not let the air back in.. I imagine you will have to tweak the tightness of the inner jar's like to make it work. It will be a good idea to pre-wash the jars the dishwasher hot setting and pre-boil lids. I guess it depends on what you are storing. This is really cool and will make a great way to store leftovers too.. Thanks again for this great idea..

Agree with everything you said here. Dishwasher hot hot, Sani rinse, bake in oven at 275 for 25 minutes, cool, boil lids for minimum 5 minutes. Dry.

Thanks for the video. However, I have a couple of questions. My pickle jars continue to smell of dill - even after a year with baking soda. Of course, that will transfer to anything stored in them. Any ideas? Also, you mentioned that the recycled jars have to have a gasket in the lid. If it doesn't then, it can't be used? Thanks again for the help.

I'm by myself so I make my milk from cans of condensed and dry milk so as to fill a small jug. This leaves half for later use which I rehydrate later. I accidentally found that pickles taint the milk and conversely there's no flavor left in the pickle jar.

Soak in water with alittle bleach overnight...longer for difficult smells.
@kjp1stl3 ай бұрын
I know this is an older comment but .... glass is actually a liquid. The longer something stays in contact with the glass, the more it literally absorbs into the glass. So you may never get rid of the smell of what was in the glass without a lot of heat and time. There will be times that baking soda, or vinegar will not seem to make a difference. However, you should have better luck for a faster result to remove odors from jar lids. Happy food prepping!

I have had the Avid Armor set for probably a year and a half, and I love them! I need to replace my old Food saver so got a new more compact model so it can go camping with us! Vac sealing is so great for the RV as well as at home! I also seal leftover soup, etc. in a jar to send to work with Hubs. No danger of spills in his lunch bag. I have to wait for the new green hose to use with the new sealer, and I also had to buy new jar sealer lids because my old ones fell apart. The older lid sealers’ hose does not fit the newer machines! I have always preferred glass jars for leftovers in the fridge so I can see what they hold. My favorites are Cheez Whiz jars, and I also do some crafts with those. Paint the lids if you want jars to look like a set. Dress up open shelving, or use colors for families of things like pasta, rice, noodles, or baking supplies and cereal. I want to try using the canister to see if my pretty bamboo lids will hold an airtight seal…..😃
