I use painters tape to label and date my vacuum sealed jars. That prevents any sticky residue.
I bought the break bleeder to use with vacuum sealer tops. Rain Country shows you how to use it. No power no problem.
Me too. It is wonderful
I bought a brake bleeder also
I follow rain country also ,and I also have their vacuum chambers and our brake bleeder! Ya get a work out but it works best if you don't have to seal 20 jars, but a few at a time is doable easy
Mee to😊 yup, rain country😉
I have the same .. the almighty seal !!
I bought a Food Saver yesterday. I spent most of today looking for things to vacuum seal. Love it!
Haha 😄 🖐
Marshmallows done this way are so fascinating. They expand under suction then shrink when opened. Cool parlor trick to show the kids.
Just a quick FYI, the “white” stuff that you find older chocolate chips isn’t a powdery substance. It’s actually the fats in the chocolate that congeal over time and with temperature fluctuation; it doesn’t chance the flavor or the quality of your end product, per se, occurring more frequently with finer chocolates. It has become less of a problem for me, however, due to having four of my grandchildren living with us. Not much lasts long enough to develop any problems, however I do vacuum seal flours, cornstarch, sugars, grains, etc. Keep up the good work, Leisa, your videos are a constant source of good information for all of us!! ❤❤
We LOVE our hand-held sealer! Bought some bags and store our cheese in them. Then wash the bags and reuse. A jar lifter is a great bag-drying stand.
Great idea!!
I use my quart jars for dehydrated apple slices , pancake mix, cookies, candies and crackers. I need to find the 1/2 gal for the crackers so I can fit more in the jars. I even dehydrated store bought sliced sweet breads! Opened a jar from 1 year ago and it tasted good. Didn't have stale taste was good with coffee! Thank you Leisa!
Yes- chocolate chips with a white coating are fine to eat - the cocoa butter in the chocolate comes to the surface primarily due to getting warm and then coming back to room temperature causes the white coating. But certainly sealing in a jar and keeping in cool place will let them stay fresh longer. Peanut butter chips can definitely lose flavor if they are not kept in an oxygen free environment. Love the big jars. Thanks!
Great info!
Watching this makes me remember that I think I have some Raisin Bran vacuum sealed in my pantry-and now I want a bowl! Lol
I save and reuse lids that have water bath or pressure canned to vacuum seal jars.
Thank you for mentioning the lid vacuum sealers were in stock. Finally was able to get an order placed!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE LINK!!!! I was finally able to get a set of jar attachments! I've only been searching for a year....lol
I use my lids I've previously used in canning. Good way to have them do double duty. I also vacuum seal the same lid many times.
I vacuum seal cookies and have had them last over 8 years, I also do Frosted Flakes, corn pops, corn flakes that have been good after 8 years, my nuts have lasted about 5 to 6 years, I had forgot I had to jars left of nuts and they were like 6 years and they were fine, I will even do my flour and sugar
This is exactly what I use my 1/2 gallons for also. Powdered milk, pastas, oatmeal, just add water type pancake mixes, sugars, salts, cereals, hot cocoa powder. Love the convenience of them.
A 50lb bag of salt is great stored in these. I e got salt for a life time...haha
@@SuttonsDaze yes, have enough non iodized salt & 50 lbs. of sugar, even though I don't use sugar myself, I use raw honey in my decaf coffees and teas. So I have plenty of jars of that stored up also😂
Hey 🤗
Thank you again for a great video..
can I put my jars in the dishwasher and use them for storage.. like pancakes mixes and oatmeal..
Can I put cake mix also . I got a good sale on Duncan cake mixes ..
and how long do they last ..
Thank you for your kindness 😃
I trying to put up food for storage
As we see sales ...
I been watching your videos for a long time and learned a lot ..
thanks my friend 🥰

I keep my old lids from canning and use for dry canning
Thank you so much for this video, I had bought a case of the potatoes a while back and was wondering the best way to store!!! Please don’t stop these kind of videos EVER!
One.of the things on my list to get. I would like to get a small one like that. My list keeps getting ever so bigger and bigger the more I learn. Just starting into this whole prepping stage. Pressure canner, dehydrator, and one of those!
The oils in the chocolate come to the surface of it. Nothing is wrong with the chocolate chips. I used to be a baker that took a course on making chocolate candy.
When I had my old food sealer and when I used my small mouth lids I had a difficult time getting the smallmouth to seal. I tried to put 2 lids in and it worked for the sealing, only the one next to the jar sealed but it seemed to need the extra lid to get the correct space to cause it to seal.
I still write in the lids with a sharpie. You can remove the ink with water and a magic eraser! Best discovery I’ve made. ☺️
Isopropyl alcohol will also get rid of Sharpie with almost no effort.
I want one of those hand sealers because Like you I hate pulling out my big food saver to seal just a few jars!
It is truly perfect for these kinds of jobs.
I learned the trick to prevent your sealer from pulling off the lid. Use two lids, the bottom one will seal and other sort of stays in the sealer. Don't ask me why but it works. Happy sealing. 😊
I swear I always learn something from you. Thank you. Always so informative.
I finally got the jar sealer and cant wait to try it. I love watching your videos
I agree When I use new lids for dehydrating I reuse them for canning. Happy to hear someone else does this.
LOL my cat heard the vacuum sealer and came running. OMG she's meowing thinking I have hidden treats. She knows we keep snacks in the jars. I have to keep 4 to 6 of those hashbrowns on hand at all times, because our daughter eats them for breakfasts. I love my half gallon jars for storage. I got chalkboard labels for our dry storage jars.
Thanks for sharing your tip on using chalkboard labels!
My jar sealers came in the mail today. YES!!!! I want to get some 1/2 gal. jars for dry storage so I can use my quarts for pressure canning. One step at a time...just keep on moving.
Exactly! ❤
As always great job teaching and Thanks! ❤
Thank you for making a dry storage video, Leisa! You have impeccable timing as always. So many people need to see this good instruction and you shared good tips. It is a reminder for me to go through my working pantry and re-do the seals I've broken in the last month cooking from my dried foods. And especially thank you for showing the process when you have to try again to get a seal. Makes me feel less of a dunce for having a struggle with some jars. Something funny...I vac sealed the cheap version of bagged cereal that was completely sugary, colored junk as a treat for hubby. Was too lazy to take the 'mushrooms' label off the jar from its previous use and that sucker is still sitting front and center in the pantry untouched. LOL!
HAHAHAHAA Colored Mushrooms!!!
Thanks for all the information. Love this channel
Thank You for posting the links for the sealer and attachments! Order placed 🎉
Thank you! Now I feel comfortable doing this!!
Yup, i keep the boxes too😉😊😎
Thank you. This video is quite helpful.
Thank you for the idea to use the vacuumed lids and are still good for pressure canning. Makes sense.
If you have trouble getting the lids to seal, use two lids. Turning the 2nd one upside down
Just got my Foodsaver attachments this week from Amazon. Was so shocked to see them in stock. Been looking a long time.
So cool! Can't wait to buy hose and attachment! I always saw that lid and didn't know what it was for! Thanks so much 🙏💓
PHENOMENAL video.. I hadn't seen much need to have a lot of 1/2 gallon jars, but this idea really has me thinking now. Thank You Leisa for sharing your knowledge with us 💯. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
Glad it was helpful!
Under good storage conditions, my vacuum sealed dried items (including cereal) have lasted years with no noticeable change in quality. I just went and opened some rice krispies and corn flakes sealed in 2013 and they are perfect. The chocolate chips crackers and nuts surprised me, too! My nuts did not go rancid!! To do powders, you can bag them and loosely seal the bag and put it inside your jar so the vacuum works but doesn't pull the powder out into the device. You can also put a coffee filter or muffin liner on top of the powder to prevent this as well, as powder can ruin the motor. I use lids that I've already canned with. Alana Stewart's comment below is right on, using two lids is sometimes what I need to do to get the bottom one to seal. Sometimes heating the lid a bit on a heating pad helps them vacuum seal, too, if all else fails.
Okay my lady, I just bought a handheld freshsaver @ Amazon. I will try dry beans, oatmeal, etc.
Thank you for your video. You are an inspiration!
I have the newer one... love it! and it's rechargeable!!
This is a smart woman I like the way she does things.
If you shake the jars you can fit more in them. Its amazing how shaking it around makes things fall into place I have 15 pounds of egg noodles I just opened and this is going to be my project pantry for the week, Putting my pasta in jars.
That hand held vacuum sealer looks convenient; I always use a brake bleeder for the jars to save on our vacuum sealer keeping it just for bags.
Just ordered the vacuum sealer and lids! I am so excited to start this next phase in prepping! Thanks Leisa you have taught me so much!
Thanks for joining the adventure!
Just got through ordering the attachments! Thank you! I've been looking online at other sites and people were wanting $50-$60. The ones I just ordered were an amazing price
Wonderful!!
Snagged my vacuum sealer adapter today! Thank you for the link. I didn’t want to pay $40+ for it
Hi Leisa, great idea to vacuum seal the cereal and potato hash browns. Fantastic idea for all of us with that handy vacuum sealer. Sometimes even if the ingredient is safely stored , time eventually will make it taste stale. So you have anther reason to preserve your product. Good job!❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
This is how I vaccum seal dry goods. I purchased the small unit last year and it works well for me!
I use half gallons for my dry storage it’s awesome. It’s good to know about nuts.
Thanks for this video...my foodsaver vacuum sealer came in the mail today...I can't wait to vacuum seal our food this weekend!!!👍👍
Wonderful!
I would like to thank Linda from Lindapantry Leisa for satins day and Jeni gough you guys are help me learn so much are all rock stars 🌟 ✨ 💖
Perfect timing! I saw those hash browns on your recent video & promptly ordered a box -- should arrive tomorrow. Never had any luck making my own and had not seen these in the stores. So looking forward to breakfast Saturday.
These are so quick and easy. I hope you enjoy them
Thank you for teaching me how to do it........Gracias por enseñarme como hacerlo....❤❤
I am so excited about this!!
Thanks Leisa
I watched your vlog from last year and have been doing this and had huge success. Thank you so much for the share
You're welcome!
Great share...thanks! Blessings to you and your family 🙏
Thank you
I love those huge jars. I use them for dry goods also...just the few that I have. I need to get some more.
You can never have enough
I have both the food saver vacuum sealer, and the newer hand held sealer, which I usually use with the zipper lock bags they sell, but I've used it to seal their canisters too. I have my "counter top vacuum sealer on a table in my front room, where I've got the space to keep it, and to work, especially when filling, and sealing dry storage jars. I have a smaller, "L" shaped kitchen, with really not enough counter space to keep everything I need out on the counter top. LOL, my dehydrator sits on the bar that divides my kitchen and dining room areas.
Oh my goodness, thank u so much, for I learned so much.
All this is new to me. Thank u. 🙏❤️🌷☘️👍👏
Thank you for the video.
New to long term food preservation. On a budget. Started dehydrating. Corn was easy peasy. But I thought of reusing the bag and vacuseal. But...there's tiny holes in the frozen packaging. Blah. So I found a sturdy reusable cheese ziplock package. The plastic is strong. See*through & u can use the heat seal on it. Thx. For the great start.👌👍😉
Love my vacuum sealer. 😍
I've done Cake mixes, in quart jars, which I cut out the labels and included them in the jars. Jello & pudding(in jelly jars). I bought some new labels from WalMart, I love love them!
Thank You 😊👍
Thank you so much for reminding me about the hand held vacuum sealer thingy! I have the lid things but no vacuum sealer, haha. But now I'm all sorted!
Awesome!
Yes, yes! I do this for dehydrated and freeze dried things... last so long and it's so pretty! Good tip about the nuts.
Yes! Thank you!
Great video. TY so much for doing this...
You're welcome
I love this method of canning so much... Quick and easy! Oh and I also made the crazy good cranberry bread... I did not have the pottery but it still was "Crazy" good. Thank you...
So good!
I dehydrated tater tots last fall and sealed them as an experiment. I discovered the big name brand was actually oily to touch and very salty. But I loved the taste of the GV WM brand. And when cool and dry they are crunchy and almost as addicting as potato chips. I haven't tried a casserole with rehydrated ones yet, but will always be able to munch on a few.
Dry canning is the one time I will save and reuse my button top lids. I'll sort thru them, soak them in hot water for a bit then let dry throughly. I mark the tops indicating dry can only. Been working great for years!!
There is so much that you can vacuum .. After I wash my jars I will put them in the oven at 225 degree to dry the jars before vacuum . keep the idea coming.
I got my Food Saver at a thrift store for $10 and so far it works fine. And today I found some of the bags at the same thrift store. New never opened box. So I save about $15 on the bags. I’m really enjoying sealing up stuff for an emergency.
I’m new to the whole food storage processes. I have stored dry goods in 1/2 gallon jars and put stick on labels on the jars. In addition to the storage date; I also list the factory Best Buy date.
Just got mine in the mail, thank you Leisa
Wonderful
I was doing this in Quart jars. I need to get some bigger jars. 👍🦋
Just ordered the jar attachments, thank you.
You're most welcome
Great info thank you!!!!
Thanks for the video; good info. With respect to marking dates on your lids, if you use a Sharpie marker an alcohol wipe will remove the ink when you're ready to reuse the lids. Thanks again. ~ Lisa
On the regular mouth lids try putting two lids on it the bottom one will seal and the top one will come off
Thank you for the video. We were just talking about doing this...
You're welcome
Very good video, Thank You
I cut off the cooking instructions and put it on the jar… so you know ie…how much water is needed to your 2C of instant mashed potatoes… somethings we don’t memorize like how to make rice… and even if I know how to make something…my husband won’t know at all
Thank you for your great information pls stay safe and healthy 💕🌺🌴🌺🙏
Thank you, you too
Yes
I do that with tallow let it set up in the
refrigerator then use the can sealer
Save your sticker, sharpies remove very easily from the metal using isopropanol alcohol. I've heard let it comes off with oil as well.
Magic Eraser removes sharpie writing on the lid with no problem
I ran across two whole boxes full of half gallon jars. I have been either freeze drying for dehydrating what ever I can get my hand on and vacuum sealing them.
Great information!
thanks for this video now i know how to use my jar sealer
If you want to reuse your lids and write on them with marker just use an alcohol wipe to remove what you had written.
When I do mine, I use a piece of tan colored duct tape to label my jars. I put the packaged date: the best by date:and my own use by date. It’s worked out really well for me. Plus when someone else grabs a jar they’re like “oh, this is good for another 3 years. Cool!”
I have the jar attment . I love it, I can my pasta and my herbs . I enjoy canning my dry food
Perfect!
I am salivating over the jar attachment for vacuum sealing. I keep praying I will find one.
