Thank you for watching. It really depends how often you open it. The absorber will reseal the jar multiple times as long as you quickly get out what you need and put lid back on. Once the lid no longer seals...meaning you can pop the button...that means the absorber has been used up and you need to put in a new absorber. The product will still be good...the absorber just extends the shelf life of the product. Here is a great link about oxygen absorbers. www.thesurvivalistblog.net/oxygen-absorbers/. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the video, I just subscribed. 😉 3 questions with parts. 1. Do you have a list of the different items that you use these jars for? 2. If you open the jar with the oxygen absorber it goes bad right? So you’d either have to repack it with a new one or eat the food? Correct? 3. Why not use those pumps that vacuum the air out? Is this only for long-term storage then?

Hi Karri! Thank you for watching! I'll try my best to answer your questions. 1. I don't keep a list of what I use the jars for. But I use them for: dehydrated vegetables like carrots & onions, grains, beans, flour, spices, etc. 2. The o2 absorber doesn't go bad immediately when the jar is opened, but the more the jar is opened, the more exposed the O2 aborber will get and will reduce its effectiveness. Sometimes I might transfer product from a big jar to something smaller if I am going to go through the product fast. Or sometimes I will just go in and out of the big jar with the absorber in it. When I empty a jar that has an o2 absorber in it, I'll sometimes toss it in a full jar (if the absorber still has life in it, i.e., hasn't turned hard) to get as much life out of it as possible so I have jars that have two absorbers in them at times. I can check the button on the lid to see if still sealed.

Also if you don't cook them you can still grow. Not all will be good after awhile but 6 years ago I grew a jar that my mom kepted for 13 years some grew some didn't but it still wasn't bad it was all veg. If they were split didn't try.

@littleladybugpatch

Thank you for watching. I'll do my best to answer your question and concern. Not everyone will have the freezer space to freeze large amounts of grains. I happen to have the extra space. I do freeze my grains if I can't get around to repackaging them in a short time frame. But I don't freeze all of my grains but that would be my ideal. But, big grain farms and warehouses don't freeze grains while being stored, most will keep the warehouse cool which helps with bug issues. If I wait too long to repackage them, they may hatch out buggers as not all insect eggs can be seen by the naked eye. The freezing cold inhibits and most times kills any bugs and most eggs. When I have frozen some grains and am ready to repackage into jars or mylar bags, I take my grains out of the freezer and let them get to room temperature. I sterilize my jars and lids in the dishwasher and let them dry. I then fill my jars up and pop in the O2 absorbers and quickly put on the canning lids. The O2 absorbers will seal the jars and also kill anything in the jar that survives on oxygen since the absorber absorbs the oxygen. So if there are any eggs that survived the freezing process, they will likely be killed at this point as long there is a good seal on the jar. Hope that helps. A great channel to check out that also goes into detail about the different options for storing grains is The Provident Prepper. 😊

Thanks - good info, but I thought the point of oven canning was to kill bacteria, and also vacuum seal in one step? When canning flour/rice etc. the oven kills bacteria, removes moisture, and creates a vacuum all due to the heat. With your freeze method, you freeze the goods, but when you remove them from the freezer, don't they gather moisture during handling, much like when you put ice cubes and pop in a tall glass, it "sweats"? Then you pour the "sweaty" rice/flour/beans in a jar that has bacteria in it and drop an oxygen absorber in there? I'm not a physics major, but it seems like the oven method makes WAY more sense - prove me wrong...

@littleladybugpatch

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching. I am happy to hear that you have found something that works for you. There is certainly more than one way to "skin a cat". ;) Oxygen absorbers can kill anaerobic bacteria (those that cannot live without oxygen). They also vacuum seal the canning jar or mylar bag. I don't freeze all of my goods before I can; it is an extra step I take sometimes (as in if I have time or if I won't be able to dry can in a reasonable time frame) to kill any eggs or bugs that are found in food, naturally. Freezing is not necessary and may not be practical for most people or if you have an extremely large order of bulk. I currently have about 100lbs of spelt grain in my freezer because I haven't been able to get to it yet, plus there is a canning jar shortage at this time. If I let it sit in the bags they came in, they most certainly would have been bug infested by now. But, I may just end up using my mylar bags and absorbers instead. To address the issue of condensation after removing from freezer, you simply let the product sit for 12 - 24 hours to get to room temperature. I learned this very fast and easy method of dry canning from someone who works at the Home Storage Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as I explained in the video. In the past, the Home Storage Centers would allow people to buy their dried goods in bulk (grains, beans, etc) and use their facility and canning equipment to dry can their food for long-term food storage - no heating of the #10 cans are ever involved (nor do they freeze the product before canning - but then, the products are being processed quickly and not sitting a long time to allow for infestations). Same with mylar bags - simply put product in the mylar bags, put in oxygen absorber and seal for 25+ years of storage. Mylar bags cannot be heated at all. Now, my ideal would be to buy the canning sealer, cans and lids and absorbers instead of using glass canning jars, but I don't have the budget for a $1600 # 10 canning sealer and they are out of stock just about every where I have looked. (It would be most ideal for me because those cans block out light that the glass jars do not) So the cheapest yet most effective route for me is using canning jars and mylar bags. Also - the Home Storage Centers of JC of LDS sell the very same dry canned food to the public and follow the health guidelines and the FDA inspects their plant regularly. There are also several companies that sell food packaged for long-term food storage the same way - # 10 cans and mylar bags, o2 absorbers and no heating needed or recommended. I trust they know what they are doing and feel comfortable and safe following their lead. I am blessed that that one Home Storage Worker shared this tip with me when she did. It has changed my life and I feel secure knowing I have food prepped for the long-term. This works best for my situation due to my hectic schedule. Here are some links that you might find informative: LDS Cannery/Home Storage Centers: How Can You Use Their Products? preparedbee.com/lds-cannery-home-storage/ -- Home Cannery : Canning dry goods for the long haul kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5ZmubOuf9S-eto.html - I also highly recommend checking out The Provident Prepper which also goes into great detail about LT Food Prep.

I am sorry to hear that. I am happy to try to troubleshoot with you. Here might be some things to check. *if the absorber is a defective one, it will be hardened and would need to be replaced with a new one. *it could also possibly be that the seal on the canning lid may be defective and might need to replace the lid. *may also be a sizing issue, i.e., the absorber not matching the size of the canning jar. If the jar is big, like a 1/2 gallon canning jar and a quart size absorber is being used, it likely won't seal. Hopefully some of those might help figure it out. Thank you for watching!😊

A link is in the description for the Home Storage Center if you are interested. I still have a lot of stuff I purchased from them in 2012 that are "dry canned" but started doing my own to save money after the lady who volunteers at the storehouse told me about how to do this. There are many effective ways to store food long-term. This is just my preference...with Mylar bags coming in 2nd. Another consideration is...you can't heat up Mylar bags as you can with glass jars...but it is the Oxygen Absorbers that are key in using the glass jars or the Mylar bags.

This is NOT canning. Just to be clear. It’s dry goods storage. Just because the jar is sealed does not mean it is CANNED. using a vac sealer or oxygen absorbers works, but please understand the food is not Sterile. The technique she shows is good practice for beans and grains, but please please people don’t be doing this sort of thing in the oven. Be safe and happy food storage!

Thank you for watching and for sharing your feedback. I learned this method of dry canning from the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Many people would go to their Canneries to have their dry food, dry canned. They were all called Canneries because the food was being put into cans (or dry canned). If you don't have the expensive metal can sealer (like this dry pack canner - preparednessadvice.com/dry-pack-canning-supplies/), or cans, you can also use jars. (which is also called "canning" instead of "jarring"). The jars can be sterilized before use either through water bath canning or through the sterilize cycle in the dishwasher (what I do). I do not use an oven because it does not make practical sense to me nor am I convinced of it's safety either. But, to each his own. This is what works best for me. ;) An excellent channel and website for a more polished delivery of information for dry canning/long-term food storage is the Provident Prepper: kzread.info I highly recommend subscribing to their channel. Also - the Cannery Cookbook by the Latter Day Saints is also very helpful on dry canning & long term food storage tips, etc. allaboutfoodstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/CANNERY-COOKBOOK.pdf. Hope this helps! :)

The music was way too annoying to sit through this video. I’ll choose a different one.

Thank you for your feedback. Have a great day! 🥰

You have great information but, you need to be mindful of the noise that you make when you show the different sizes items.
