- Never Use Oxygen Absorbers With These Foods - Basics How To Use Oxygen Absorbers Oxygen Absorbers amzn.to/2WaHDwH Buckets Lids amzn.to/2u82ti5 What are oxygen absorbers, when to use oxygen absorbers, how to use oxygen absorbers, what foods to store for long term food storage using oxygen absorbers, what foods should never be stored with oxygen absorbers. Oxygen Absorbers are used to remove oxygen from a sealed package for long-term food storage. Oxygen absorbers protect dry foods from air, insects, and help keep stored food dry. Oxygen absorbers work when dry foods are packaged in sealed containers like canning jars, mylar bags, and 5 gallon buckets. When used with proper packaging and sealing, the oxygen in long term food storage is greatly reduced.

Thank you for the potentially life saving advice. I'd never considered that O2 absorbers were inappropriate for any low acid food.
Me too. Happy I found this video!
My dentist recommended Clove Oil when I had a toothache and it worked great. Put a drop on a Q-Tip and rub it over the tooth. Reapply as needed. I used it on a cracked tooth until I could get in to my dentist.
A loss of hydrostatic pressure precedes a cavity. This lets the bacteria in, and oil will help seal the tooth, and clove oil is antiseptic. Clove oil also has eugenol, which is a natural anesthetic, making it a good choice for tooth pain.
Thanks for the tip. My son had a bad tooth a couple years ago and I went crazy looking for the toothache meds now all I need to have on hand is clove oil.
Yes! It works GREAT for short term ❣️
Where do they sell clove oil? I used it as a child and teen. Thanks.
@@erickabursma5552 health food stores are the only place that I seen them at, if you got to the stores. You can also get it at amazon.
Sealers are better than the jaw type. Jars take up a lot of space. I use sealer bags take up little room . Sugar, salt gets hard, still good. Crumble with knife,spoon. Date every thing. Use older sealed first. Daughter using jars. Losing much storage space. I use good totes with locking covers. I use moisture packs. Oxygen absorbers not needed with vacume sealer. God Bless. 🐻😍
Depending on the item, vacuum sealers rarely get all the air out of the bag. The more ‘nooks and crannies’ the more likely some air will be left.
More Life Saving Tips! Thanks Alaska Granny! Love You!
This was very clear and helpful instruction. Thank you!
Thank you!
Finally this information in a straight forward clear manner.
THANK YOU...FINALLY somebody answered my concerns directly...
Thank you..im about to start using these and this was a very helpful
Great information. Thanks. I had no idea that you have to be so careful with which foods can use O2 absorbers. Subscribed!
such great info - thank you! I just bought some oxygen absorbers, and did not know not to use them for everything.
thank you for keeping things easy to follow and easy to understand you have been a huge help with my learning experience and the how to.
How amazingly informative!!! Thank you for ALL of the great info!!!🥰
Thank you!!! I have made some mistakes with O2 absorbers. I need to go back and fix it. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge 😊
Thanks again for all the info.
Any time!
Thanks for great information!!! Loved the clear concise delivery answered all my questions
Thx 4 all Ur GREAT hints/tips/info 😊…
Fantastic video! Thank you. You go into the important details that nobody else does.
Glad it was helpful!
When it comes to emergency food storage rice is on of the best items you can start with. Many people just getting into prepping begin with storing rice to address food security concerns. And for good reason. It is shelf stable for years if stored properly and very inexpensive per calorie. Rice can also be used to really stretch out a limited amount of protein. If you mix in a small amount of chicken or beef it can make a great meal that feeds the whole family and then some.
Great tips.
So do I need oxygen absorbers for rice that's vacuum sealed? or do I can them?
@@rubyserenity90 watch the video she tells you
Well it wasn't really clear to me, I think she said not to use it with Brown Rice because it has a lot of oils in it and to prefer white rice. Though I don't know if it meant its better to choose white rice for long storage or for use with an oxygene absorber.
@@Tanouuuu white rice is best for long term food storage. Oxygen absorbers will extend the storage life for white rice.
I'm trying to do everything you say!
Thanks again, AG!
Thank you for this. Very helpful for a new prepper like me.
Loved this video. Thanks for this valuable info.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this information!!
Glad it was helpful!
Good to know thank you I've never heard this on any other prepping site.
Excellent advice, thank you
This is an EXCELLENT video. I need information on how to store dehydrated tomatoes. Just hearing this, I know not to use an oxygen absorber. So how do you store them for short and long term use. I just purchased a homdox dehydrator today. So excited to be getting that. If you have a video on that please share the link. Thank you for your hard work. New sub. One other question if you don't mind>>>what size absorber do I need to use for pint size jars. I use pints because I am a household of one. The oxygen absorbers I am getting from amazon will be 200 cc. I have never used them. You video was superior. I have a vacuum sealer machine but it does not have a means to attach a vacuum sealer for jars...just bags.
Thank you once again Alaska G, my very best wishes to you and yours! 💚
Same to you!
Life saving advice! Thank you very much.
I had NO IDEA!!! Thank you for this VERY informative video! 👍
Hello AG! A cheat sheet of this information would be great, the foods to not use 02 absorbers with and what size of absorber per container. It is easy to get mixed up when prepping several items. Thank you!
Honestly. You would trust someone else as if they are the authority on OA.
Not to take the place of this channel, but the rogue prepper has a list of these things
@symo lol
Make your cheat sheet, she already told you which foods you can snd cannot use them in
@symo 😂🤣
I had no idea. Thank you! Your videos are so useful.
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much! I wasn't sure about dried fruits and such. Blessings.👵🙏😊👍
So very many wonderful tips. Thank you for bringing this video.
Like S you answered all the questions I had on OA. I enjoy learning from all your videos. Thank you for all the great advice
Glad it was helpful!
I have literally been trying to understand when to use oxygen absorbers (versus silica gel moisture packs) for the last few days, i bought some a month ago and am scared to use them. THANK YOU.
ME TOO! 🤦🏻♀️ I purchased them for home dehydrated food but can not find good info. It is frightening to worry about what shape your food will be in when your family needs it the most! Especially if you can not rely on the appearance or your sense of smell. Sheesh!
@@Pretzelogic I wanted to use my oxygen absorbers on the frozen vegetables that I dehydrated as well. I just ended up vacuum sealing them and to be honest I'm not sure I will eat them, it was my first time dehydrating veg so I'm doubly unsure.
@@wordsbymaribeja1470 I understand completely. I got doubly paranoid about my dehydrated mushrooms. I Need to get a good book. If I find a comprehensive one, I’ll let you know. Good luck and safe eating!
@@Pretzelogic I bought a book after my first (and last for the moment) (oven) dehydration attempt, it is a really good book I definitely recommend it, have a look and see what you think: The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook by Tammy Gangloff
(Steven Gangloff and September Ferguson). 😊
@@wordsbymaribeja1470 Excellent book, I you get only one book, this should be it.
Fantastic video. Answered alot of my questions.
This clarified a lot for me. Thank you. !!!!
Well I've been using my oxygen absorbers all wrong and I really really appreciate this video!
The companies ship jerky with a silica pack.
@@alphaomega8373 My Jerky has a Oxygen Absorber so it's fine
@@alphaomega8373
No.
All the brands of jerky I have purchased have had OA's in them, I have never had Any with silica gel pkts in them.
I have vacuum canned raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries and dried apricot halves from the supermarket. Before I vacuum can dried fruit snacks from the supermarket in canning jars, I first further dry the food in my dehydrator. Then I fill quart size canned jars with the now very hard and shrunken fruit pieces and add enough granulated real cane sugar to fill all the voids. Then I use the attachment for my Food Saver machine to pull out the oxygen and vacuum seal the canning lid onto the jar. I never use powdered sugar because it is soo fine it would get sucked into the Food Saver machine. I do not add any oxygen absorbers to the jars I vacuum seal either. If I have not dehydrated the fruit enough, the sugar will draw out the moisture and turn syrupy -- a sure sign the fruit was not dried enough. So, when I have dried the fruit properly, I now have jars filled with a combination of dried fruit and dry sugar. Which are two of the ingredients I need for making fruit cobblers and fruit cakes.
Brilliant!
wow SO SMART! Also the sugar is a bona fide preservative keeping the food in good condition, PLUS the sugar is being 'stored' too. I love everything about your comment. I would use the sugar stored with dried lemon peel for my tea, and sugar stored with dried orange peel for my coffee! Of course, the actual dry peel would go into the teapot & coffee pot.
Ned sub. Answered all my questions about oxygen absorbers and if I need them.
Thank you so much for sharing this life saving advice for safe and proper use of oxygen absorbers and food preservation! I’m a new subscriber. God Bless you and your family!🙏
I like to store my oxygen absorbers in Mason jars which I seal with a device used with a vacuum sealer and when I take one out I just re-vacuum seal the jar. I think this is more reliable than just heat sealing the pack they came in.
FoodSaver says only 24-34% of air is removed via the hose. So each time you revac seal the jar the remaining absorbers are going to absorb from the 66-76% air in the jar.
Re-vacuuming sealing the bag is by far the better option.
If the jar is packed full and you only do it once then the loss is minimal. But after a few openings and the jar is half full you can't know how many cc they are good for. They probably won't degrade evenly either.
Wonderful information! I’m new to bulk/long term food storage! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!!
You are so welcome!
Love this! Thanks!!
Thanks! You are so helpful 😁❤️🙏
More great practical advice ! Been prepping for several years but always learn something new or the vids are a great refresher lesson. Thank you AG and may God bless and protect you and your family 🙏🏻
Glad to help, thanks for sharing the blessings.
Well you did a wonderful job explaining all this. I'm new to preparing for the whatever and really want to get it right the 1st time as I can't afford to mess it up. But who can? Thank you!!
So glad you found my video helpful. Do a little at a time, and you will be ready to face anything!
Thank you! You answered my questions perfectly. 😊
Hey AlaskaGranny this is awesome. Thank you very much. ❤
You are so welcome.
Great video! Is there a printable list of foods that can/cannot be used with OA's?
"Thank You"! for this, another So informative video... You're teaching is so clear... : )
Glad you think so!
I'm glad I saw your video because I was going to use oxygen absorbers on a lot of the foods that you're not supposed too. Thank you for posting this.
Alaska Granny I buy from LDS home storage frequently. Good place to get long term food. Also great to get info from them. Thanks for this video.
Your videos are so informative and helpful, and I love your tips and recommendations!
I'm so glad!
Thank you AG, I found this information very helpful, and something I was not aware of. I have mylar bags and oxygen absorbers being delivered any day now, so now I know how best to use them!
Glad my video helped.
Great information! Thank you so much I’m just starting to use Mylar bags in 5 gal pails for food storage and i didn’t know certain foods you can’t use oxygen absorbers.
Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you Alaska Granny sooo much for all of your helpful tips!
I do not use them with any mixes.
So what items need an absorber and which do not? It's a but confusing.A basic list of dos and don'ts would be helpful.
@Paco So nuts would not get an absorber? What about dehydrated vegetables? I assume they get one too?
@Paco what about cat biscuits ? Would it make them disintegrated?
@Paco ok thanks I will check about the animal fat
@Paco awhile back, I looked for info on long term storage of dog food and I couldn't find what I was looking for but someone in the comments said he used oxygen absorbers and that he had to tap into his stache from over a year ago and his dogs loved it. So I'm trying it.
@Paco Heres my list:
Quinoa both sprouted and not sprouted (Supposedly has a small amount of fat in it)
Rolled Oats
Sprouted Black Beans (Sprouted generally has a higher nutrition content, but I believe uses water for the "sprouting")
Sprouted Brown Rice(She did say brown rice is less likely to hold up compared to white rice)
Red Lentils
Chickpeas (Raw)
And some maple granola and hemp/flax granola, but I suppose I'll have to store those via mason jars
But I suppose I can store them all with mylar bags, just not all with o2 absorbers
Thoughts?
Just watched this AGAIN. Thank you for your information. I'm just starting to jar up dry good for my family and extended family, enough to bridge a power outage or few months of questionable grid situation. Peace of mind.
Wow! Great video! Thanks
THIS IS AWESOME!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Just found your channel as I was doing more research on food storage. Simple instruction and such WONDERFUL knowledge! Thank you! I appreciate what you are doing! This has been such a help. I can't wait to watch more of you channel and videos.
I am glad you are enjoying my videos. It can seem daunting to start your food storage. Do a little at a time, and before you know it, you will have a nice supply of food on hand.
Thank you for this video! In short....I learned valuable information.
Please tell me if a vacuum sealer:
A. Does the same thing to storeing foods as O² absorbers "AND" moisture absorbers.
B. Should one add an O² or moisture absorber to a vacuum sealed storage item?
C. As botulism was discussed in your video, is there a chance of creating a vacuum sealed environment for botulism by vacuum sealing the wrong foods?
D. Are there foods that should never be vacuum sealed?
E. What foods once vacuum sealed must be refrigerated or frozen?
Thank you in advance!
IB
Thank you! This is very helpful
I appreciate your thoroughness. You answered all my questions. I have saved it for future viewing. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
A great subject. Not something you often see talked about on prepping channels.
Plus, I often think people can sometimes get freezer dried foods and dehydrated foods mixed up as well. Dehydrated foods tend to have a much higher moisture content, so like you have said they're not foods where you'd put in an oxygen absorber.
I use multiple hand warmers for the 55 gallon barrels of oats, corn meal, grits, white rice and beans. Because standard O2 eaters are tiny. I also nitrogen and CO2.
Totally agree with moist foods.
FWIW = techies use rice as a desiccant so you are 100% on target about adulterated foods.
Truly appreciate your responses 💞
You presented so brand new information in this video that I have not seen before. Did you get your list of do's and don'ts from the FDA canning sites, or manufactures of the Absorbers or what? I would like to dig into this for my preserving plans!
I’m not new to long term storage when it comes to canning, thanks to granny! But I am new to long term for dry foods. I really appreciate this info but my question is, can you safely use O2 absorbing packets for FLOUR? How does one store Flour for years at a time?
I know this video is a year old so not sure if anyone will see it or the creator here can help but I would love any reply. I’ll continue to comb through the internet to check for answers and check advise given.
Thanks, I appreciate any help.
I just put OAs into my homemade jerky today. I am taking them out. Glad I saw this video.
Awesome information I did not know! Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you.
I’m shocked at how little I know on this subject. Thanks for making these videos, I look forward to learning more.
Thanks for watching.
And AG knows even less and yet you see her as an expert.
She is NOT correct on everything she said. Check things out for yourself or try it yourself.
This was so helpful! I was sealing some foods up for the first time and was surprised at how hot the absorbers were getting. I ended up putting them in a gallon Ziploc bag only to wake up the next morning with wet (and useless) absorbers. Now I know why. Live and learn!
Why do they get hot?
Yeah me too, im shocked at 1st why it gets hot then i put it in a fridge (silly me) 😊 only to realise it gets wet, not knowing why i immediately throw away
Excellent teaching, thank you Alaska Granny!
Thank you so much for clearing this up, it has been confusing to learn.
You're very welcome!
I was reading botulism grows on anything with a water activity greater than 0.92. Zero being totally dry, 1.0 is water wet. So 0.92 is pretty damp, but it may not be a linear scale. So now I can search online for water activity values for typical dried foods and hope to discover whether they’re dry enough to be safely stored in the absence of oxygen or air, at room temperature. In this case desiccation is our only protection against botulism, unless it’s an acidic food
I’m remembering, like a mantra, acidity, dryness, oxygen and temperature (very cold or very hot) are the protections to consider.
Would you add an OA to oatmeal or flour?
Following
@@danaking3568 No, they’re powdered, oatmeal main ingredient in granola too, probably high in oil.
I just used to freeze meats such as individual steaks in our big chest freezer.
And, have a big bucket of water in the freezer, at the same time.
When the meat was well frozen, i picked up each cut and dipped them into the very cold water in the bucket. Double coating them, after the first coat of water froze. And then bagged them. The thick coat of ice stopped freezer burn,
Stopped all air, oyygen, fungi, and bugs, too.
I made water the strong, perfect 'vacuum sealant'.
Give it a try if you have a large freezer. Also there's no wrapping waste.
You just pick out which steaks you want. And cook them.
@@Ever8eliever really smart thanks for that tip
Thank you for this video. You have saved at least one life with it - no kidding! I am new to long term food storage and learning as I go. About a month ago, I stored 16 packages of granola (14 chromosome wheat with no allergenic ingredients) and of course vac sealed them with my food saver and an 02 absorber. grrr I am now understanding these are not safe to eat. Safety first of course but... My question now - is there are way I can salvage this i.e. open the packages and spread on a baking sheet and bake? for long long and temp? I also did this with coffee beans which I am now wondering about. Truly appreciate a reply....
Iam wondering the same?..
Thank you for this video.
Wow! Thank you. I would have messed up bad if I hadn't seen this.
This is so helpful! I bought some but haven’t opened them. I would have made some mistakes if not for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
I put some in brown rice two weeks ago and then found out that brown rice won't store for long term.
@@robertschmidt9296 Good news is you can open up those mylar bags, dump out rice and cut the bit you sealed off- and reuse for white rice.
Put your brown rice in jars with silica packets and eat it.
can you use a vacuum sealer on the jars on baking soda/powder, and left over freeze dried goods?
Same question
Thank you so much for the info in this video. I'm new to the canning and storing food game and I didn't know this. Thank you!
You are welcome.
So much knowledge, thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗
I vacuum sealed my oxy packets into packets of 5 and put into another bag so I have smaller amounts available and if in it a 5gallon container I need all 5!
Smart!!!
Very smart. I will do that or put them in a mason jar.
I have been prepping for years and have salt, sugar and flour all in Mylar with O2 absorbers and when I open them they are just fine. Not bricks as you indicated. I just want to make sure others are aware that these items are fine to use with O2 absorbers
Do not trust this advice. I wouldn't want my food wasted based on this person's advice. This just isn't wise.
Kim’s Kluckeds, this is not my opinion it’s a fact. I have countless examples of this method working perfectly with oxygen absorbers. That said I like in a very dry clinic Colorado which could have an impact on storage. Have you even tried either method to test?
jbswift when I first started using 02 absorbers I put them in everything. I ended up with bricks of brown sugar, salt, sugar and even corn starch. It was an awful and expensive learning lesson. You are the only one I have heard say otherwise. For the newbies out there we need to set an example of safe and proper food storage.
Tell me how you did it without disastrous results.
What about nonfat dry milk? Is that safe to use with an oxygen absorber?
I am so glad I watched this video - thank you for keeping me from making a mistake!!
Thank you. Great info I didn’t know.
It's good information, thank you. I have been helping my sister get preps ready. Her dilemma is my niece and nephew are peanut/tree nut allergic - severe (almost lost my nephew when she first became aware of the allergy). Trying to find prepared long term food for people with peanut/nut allergies is very very very difficult, and it has become a fairly common allergy. The most frustrating thing to locate is nut allergy safe dry/powder whole milk. The few that are out there are very expensive. I think there is a big need for someone to create a food storage business that is nut safe. ;) I may invest in a freeze dryer to ensure we have items that are safe for them.
I just took a rather cursory glance at the label on my can of Meyenberg Powered Whole Goats Milk and saw no mention of nuts or nut allergy warnings. Might want to check their website for more info.
Walmart sells several brands of dry milk. Nido is a good quality for less than Auguson farms. The labels should state if its from a nut free packaging plant. Freezdryers have become less expensive with different sizes now offered. Harvest Right I think is the biggest supplier & they have sales. Good luck!!
@@liberty8424 Mine was delivered in February :) I actually have a dairy set of trays getting ready to go into the machine.
I know your post was a year ago, but you mentioned you would like to get a freeze dryer. If you haven't got one already you might check out Canadian prepper. He has a CZcams store where he gets I believe it's the Harvest Right freeze dryer and has some in his Warehouse he only had a few left but you might go to his channel and then you can go to the description box click on the link I guess to ask about it. God bless you
If you can, try to find someone with a freeze dryer! I have many people pay me to freeze dry foods/juices/candies for them because they have SEVERE allergies to many things found commonly in store bought foods! I put an ad out saying my services were available, but I've seen people LOOKING for someone with a freeze dryer that could freeze dry some things for them in exchange for payment, or some of the food to be freeze dried! I've also bartered/traded in exchange for my freeze drying services! This may be an option for you! One thing about freeze drying, is freeze dried goods are shelf stable for around 25 YEARS or MORE, AAAAND foods freeze dried retain 97% of nutrients, whereas dehydrating takes away a lot of nutrients! When you reconstitute freeze dried things, like orange juice, or salsa for example, you CANNOT tell it was ever freeze dried! 🥰 the process perfectly preserves the flavors, textures etc so it's an AMAZING option! Maybe you could put an "ISO SOMEONE WITH A FREEZE DRYER I CAN PAY/TRADE FOR FREEZE DRYING SERVICES" IN YOUR LOCAL FACEBOOK GROUPS FOR BUYING, SELLING AND TRADING IN YOUR SURROUNDING AREA! You'd be surprised at what you'd find! I even donate some time freeze drying for elderly, military, disabled etc because I KNOW what being low income is like. I have been low income most of my 33 years alive, and have been homeless too. You'd be shocked at what people will help with if they know of a person's struggles. 2 years ago, I couldn't even afford a Christmas gift from the dollar tree for my young 9 year old child... strangers went our of their way to send gifts and my kid had a great Christmas, and now we give to those in need because we are in a stable position in life and have enough to help people like we have been helped. 1 person that helped my child that Christmas just reached out to me! I'm sending her freeze dried candy and some jewlery that I make for sale! It's a wonderful feeling helping people, especially children! 🥰 I know someone would be more than happy to help you and the kiddo with severe allergies!
What about rice that is flavored? Like yellow rice packets, macaroni with powder packet in it, noodles, dry milk packets? Oatmeal?
Wonderful information ! Thank you !!!
Thanks for all your Great Advice
No O2 absorber for brown rice, nuts, dried fruits that still bend, baking soda/powder (can explode), powdered foods (turns them hard). What'd I miss?
Glad I saw this before I put an absorber in some dehydrated fruit that was still bendy. Thanks.
you don't have that right look above someone made a list
I never heard about foods not to use them on. Thanks for the tip!
You are so welcome!
Tha k you for this information.
I loved the video. Do you not seal flour, pancake mix, cornmeal or any powdery food with oxygen absorbers?
Do not use oxygen absorbers with any of those products. The high surface area of powered products make the absorbers too effective, binding the powered product together. If you need to make heat shield resistant bricks, go for it, otherwise, just keep those products from moisture and temperature extremes.👍
I was curious about this because I did vacuum seal on my mason jars with sugar and flour, so I’ll go through them all and pop the lids
Thank you very much for that info) I haven't seen this amount of information for dry goods, but especially flour, anywhere. I'm glad I found you))
How about white sugar?
Can an oxygen absorber be used with white or confectionery sugar?
And, white minute rice?
I have always been a " prepper of sorts" with a family of 7; now just my husband and I, so foods aren't used as quickly. I still want all of the extra on hand. Does flour have to go in the freezer before storing?
Thank you for a very informative video. 👍
I did subscribe)))))
Patricia C
Oxygen absorbers will make sugar hard like a brick.
@@debbiemereau590 I found that out the "hard" way! lol
Very helpful!
Super informative! Thank you
I use a break bleeder to dry seal my dry goods. Would it be a good ideal if you open a sealed jar to use the existing oxygen absorber again and reseal with the break bleeder( I got mine at harbor freight) or can you not reuse the absorbers after you open a jar?
Use a new absorber once opened
