Those coffee filters are cheaper for 100 or 200, than the cupcake papers.. Since I'm fairly new at all this, I'm trying to learn all I can about canning and sealing.. I also have seen people in videos put their dry goods in paper lunch bags, then put it in the sealer bag. It works great! You can get 100 or 200 lunch bags at Costco and Smart & Final for a really good price.. They have brown or white. I bought some flat coffee filter discs because they are round like the jar, BUT as I was putting the paper discs in the jars, I noticed that there's a hole in then, right in the middle! Totally defeats the purpose! I ended up putting a rounded square of paper towel over it. 😊

I use plain white cupcake liners when vac sealing jars. For flour and such, I use white paper lunch bags. Fill bag about 3/4 full and fold over the top. Insert into a FoodSaver bag, upside down. Folded edge lets air escape from the bag while holding back the powder. The flour "bricks" are then stored in buckets or totes. Recently bought the brake bleeder kit and am looking forward to using that, if/when the grid is down. Hope this is helpful for someone. Thanks for sharing.

What I do is, when filling up the jar with dry powder goods I fill the jar in steps, I use a wooden mallet to tamper down pack down then fill again tamper down, until below the inch headspace then I put a clean dry coffee filter put the lid and jar sealer adapter and vacuum seal with the Foodsaver and it will not suck in the powder- flour, sugar, etc. Into the hose. It works for me all the time.

Much of the things I want some information on the jar. Sometimes I will use my phone to take a photo of part of the label, put that in my computer and print a label to put on the jar with some packing tape. I don't always remember what the liberals say about mixing it or using it. This gives me the information on the jar I seal.

It’s still impossible to find a regular mouth jar sealer unless you want to spend an exorbitant amount for it. Which i don’t but i did get a large mouth jar sealer so i’ll start with that! I had to chuckle when you talked about sealing the chocolate chips. At our house, my husband eats chocolate every.single.day. I buy so much chocolate that it needs it’s own budget line!

@@RainCountryHomestead 👍 Dear Heidi! A nice story for your family biography! But I'm not German, only my mother tongue is German. I am Austrian and German is the first official language here, alongside the other languages of the minorities of our citizens. I speak English very well, only the grammar is not so good and there is also a problem with non-professional terminology, I was a restaurateur for 50 years. We learned the outdated Oxfort English at school, American business English I had to teach myself later. I find your channel wonderfully informative and with lots of interesting topics to keep in stock. I wish you and your family all the best! Greetings from Austria!

I’m not sure what to use 02 absorbers in. I’ve done flour and cornmeal like this video and I guess I’m ok. Just didn’t want it to go bad. Thank you

There are people that still use them in vacuum sealed jars but I never have nor will. I find them to be a waste of money. If foods are vacuum sealed, there is no need for oxygen absorbers and I have been doing it like this for years without issue. I have even stopped using those things in my whole grains that I have sealed up in mylar bags inside plastic buckets.

I am in the process of ordering everything required to do this I’ve already received the chamber from you all🥰 my question is..and this may be answered below I just haven’t had time to look at every comment. if you open the vacuum sealed jar and you take a say a handful of some out and can you re-vacuum seal the jar again ?

@RainCountryHomestead 2 жыл бұрын

Yep, you sure can. Some things I do not bother resealing if I am working through it quickly or it is something that does not need resealing every time but some things, like tomato powder, need to be resealed after every use or it turns into a brick!

(Some of us are supplementing our canning pantries with store-bought canned goods.) EXPIRATION DATES on store-bought canned goods are arbitrary. Use-by date is the last date of peak quality.... Best-by date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. Most canned foods are safe to eat indefinitely, as long as the can is not damaged, rusted, or bulging. All the bacteria was killed when it was processed. ONE exception is Baby Formula, which MUST be consumed by the USE-BY date. (Statement by The USDA, The U.S. Dept.

Can you tell me where to get the powdered dairy products please. Thank you. I always used coffee filters but fabric seems easier as it is not so stiff. This will make my life easier. Have gotten many good ideas on what to put up from you.

If you open the description box, you will see the video I linked to the powdered dairy products and in that I have the links to where you can buy them

1. Do you use a brake bleeder fit from the auto parts store? If not then where? 2. Where do you get the white top that goes on top of the jar that needs are pumped out?

@RainCountryHomestead 2 жыл бұрын

The links to the brake bleeder kit and foodsaver tops should be in the description box. If the brake bleeder kit I linked to is currently sold out, find another one that is similar

Hello Heidi, thank you for this video. You provided a link to Foodsaver Jar sealers, but that kit doesn't include any pump. You also provided a link to Brake Bleeder Kit for Vacuuming Sealing, I'm more interested in this one since it doesn't require electricity. Since this kit doesn't come with jar lids, where can I buy jar lids? (A Jar lid is what you put on a jar mouth before sealing)

@RainCountryHomestead Жыл бұрын

That is because the brake bleeder pump that I use is sold separately and is not even found in food preservation because it is an automotive tool but I DID provide the link to that and it is shown even before the foodsaver tops. However, there are some off brand jar sealing tops that come with their own pump but the pump is a bit chintzy. I go over those and other vacuum sealing methods here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p82FfZWkprDeYIE.html
