Just to prove to my crew that vacuum sealing preserves crackers and cookies, I opened a few jar that I vacuum sealed in 2014-2016. The Oreos were as crunchy as the day I sealed them and the crackers and cereal tasted perfect. So they were approx 6-8 years sealed.

We mostly vac bag our cereals, leaving the cereal in its original bag, but with a tiny hole punched in using a bulletin board push pin, putting the factory bag into the larger factory made (or roll style cut to length) vac bag and cut out the front of the cereal box, placing that in with the cereal bag so we can instantly tell what type of cereal is in the bag & when dated. We don't vac pack any cereal with nuts of any kind or dried fruits (raisins, blueberries, strawberries, etc) because the oils in the nuts probably go rancid even in a vacuum & similar for the dried fruits.

I vacuum seal nuts of all kinds, I am not afraid of the fats. Vacuum sealing high fat foods prevents rancidity. I have been doing this for quite a number of years now: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7xdlqyU0tPMlGg.html Remember that you can buy nuts vacuum sealed into jars and cans from the store. Plantars used to use that as a main selling feature

I say 2 years should be the goal. Get creative! If you can, start the garden. There is cooking from scratch, storing the ingredients that can last for years (wheat berries, oats, etc.). Water bath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, freeze drying, vacuum sealing things, use oxygen absorbers as well. Many ways to get creative within your own budget bracket.

@crystal Murphy I was just telling my mom yesterday to look into storage of her chocolate chip cookies. She loves her cookies and pulls one out of her purse at random times to eat one...lol. she needs to dry can some for herself. Maybe I would have one too😏

I had problems with a particular brand of cereal getting bugs, But normally I don't have trouble. I do have to watch the tiny moths that come in in the summer if they can get in they will lay eggs on boxes and you end up with webworms in boxed or plastic bags of grains, nuts, and seeds. evil little wormies :) they also invade your closet to eat your natural fibers...

My grandmother taught me with flours, grains, dry cereals etc add a couple bay leaves. Bugs will not enter.

Haha! Yeah, I have been through a total of four of those. Three different styles. The first and most simple one I had lasted the longest at a little over 3 years but the rest all broke down in 2 years or less

I think the brake bleeder was one of the main things that "hooked" my hubby on this whole issue. Now THAT speaks his language! *LOL* :) And it's now HIS job to seal jars! He totally took that over! ;)

I didn't know the wide mouth jar tops fit the half gallon jars. That's good to know. I nought all my half gallon jars at the goodwill. With no tops.

Vacuum packing cereal is a great idea. Must remember that most cereals made from oat has been sprayed with glasophate and buy organic. Now all we need is a cow.
@RainCountryHomestead 2 жыл бұрын
That is all grains, not just oat, this is why I go with organic as much as possible

Ok I got on the rabbit trail from this video, watching all your granola and cracker videos. Oh, by the way, I frequently have hair envy watching your videos, lol, but I LOVE your hair in the berry almond episode 😁 so classy. ANYWAY, my question is tgis: if I want to make granola BARS for a grab n go morning, what do I do different other than obviously not stirring it halfway thru? Make it stickier? Maybe a smaller pan to make it thicker? Cooking time might be longer that way, I guess.

It has been awhile since I have made granola bars, I will have to pull out my recipe, maybe do a video on it when I remember

Maybe it is because we live in the deep south but, I vacuum sealed store brands of cereal about 19 months ago and it went rancid. We kept at 76 degrees and didn't store any with nuts . I really think it because of the oils
@RainCountryHomestead 3 жыл бұрын
I would say 76° is too warm for storing any kind of fat. Our pantry stays much cooler than that. I store nuts in jars plus many fats without issue of rancidity

Another classic video Heidi Thank you Now question time. We have a second kitchen in our basement. We run two dehumidifiers during the summertime but I am wondering should we still store our full caning jars upstairs?
@RainCountryHomestead 3 жыл бұрын
Basement is likely better as it typically stays cooler. If the jars are all vacuum sealed, humidity will be less of a problem than light and heat

If you keep filters clean, you can use this water for drinking in an emergency. Easy way to store water. Keep lots of filters❣
