I bought some of these exact bags from Amazon (except in the half gallon size). Never did this before so should be fun. All my beans and rice are in the freezer now to kill any bugs. Was going to put 2-100cc absorbers into them. It's just me and my husband so I figured 1/2 gallon would be big enough. These seem to be very nice bags. I'm going to try sealing mine with a hair straightener that has a digital display of the temperature. I've seen these used often and they tend to be a lot easier than a standard iron.

Hello. Thought I would let you know the oxygen absorbers will prevent any bugs from surviving and will prevent larva from hatching. In fact most of these bugs that live in grain and rice and survive freeze thaw cycles. If you look it up you will find this to be true. That's why using mylar bags and oxygen absorbers are so perfect. Easy, simple, and hits all the checkbooks for storing grains long term.

Some larger bags are good you will be using the food stores as time goes by and replacing with fresh stock. Not to mention the barter potential of having beans someone else may have dried veggies to swap or canned meats maybe food for ammo

Thank you, i am preping beans today and this video was great to refresh my memory on how to this

Just packed mine all up, thank you!

Who else cringed when he did the second crimp on the first bag. I thought for sure it was folded over. I’m sure he knows better, but the wrinkles in the crimp sure make it seem unsealed.

I'm with you on that. To me , just my opinion:: I don't think that I would trust that (perfect) seal. And I vacuum seal all my stuff , mainly because I have to keep everything as small as I can.. My home is really small. Take care and stay safe.

I loved this video!!! Great guy.

I will.be using a flat iron and i will.not heat below thw ziploc part so i can .re seal.the bag as im using it. 😉

Our family just started prepping. We chose the same bags you demoed on this informative video. Thanks for the tips. I've heard of people using foodgrade desiccant packs also, with the oxygen absorbers, just can't put them close to one another, you think those would help? What if you took another step and vacuum sealed your beans, rice, pasta, etc. in the plastic foodgrade bags and then added a oxygen absorber to it, sealed it, and then sealed that in a mylar bag?

I would love the answer to this as well.

Also would like to ask previous because I live in an apartment and I would store it under my bed , any advise ? And don’t have mice so I have plastic bins no gamma lids would it be garantes quality and long term durability, thanks

Thanks for the reminder. It is time for us to do it again. I have been waiting to build a cellar. We do not have the storage room in the RV. I paused this video to check what I had left in my 5 gallon bucket. I have my last two (4 cup) bags from July 2012.

I'll head your way when you're ready to store some beans. Better yet I'll bring ya a couple of 5 gallon buckets. Hurry and get that small house done. MIss you brother.

I did exactly this but the jar the oxygen absorbers are looks wet now on the inside? Should I toss them are they bad now?

Hello Can I store white rice this same way? Thank you

@carolb5677

If you look around on You Tube you will see that most people freeze their rice for a couple of days then another couple of days to get it back to room temperature. This kills the bugs and eggs. Then you can store it the same way as this video.

@@The_Healing_Facilitator Did you use O2 absorbers? If you did then any bugs won't hatch. The freezing is an added layer of protection and such a pain! I would say that at some point you could toss the mylar bag in the freezer for 3 days, then open it and let it come to room temperature and repackage it. I wouldn't stress about doing it now but if you buy more then do it and write on the bags that it was frozen first.

@@The_Healing_Facilitator Exactly. The worse case is there are some bugs in the bag. If you need the food you cam pick the bugs out or just cook them because we eat bugs in our food all the time and just don't know it.

How long are these good for? Do you worry about pushing all of the air out when you seal them or no?

Notice how the bag with the weight is pointing towards the ground so if you rub your hand up the bag, the air is gone.

I know these are 7ml bags but what are the dimensions of the bags.

How many of the oxygen things to you put in each bag? I just used a five gallon bucket and my beans went bad

@JustScottPaid

Usually 300-500cc for 1 gallons bags. 2000-2500cc for 5 gallon bags in bags in bucket.

Beans.. Rice last forever storing them just in a food grade bucket and put Bay Leaves. Why make it Difficult for people . And in Pastas 👍

I only use 1 gallon bags w/ zip-locks. I don't get 5 gallon bags unless you plan on feeding an army. It looks like you are not utilizing all the space in a bag that you could IMO.

how long will the beans stay good. life long?

Question: I've seen them freeze flour to kill bugs, then vacuum seal it. I'm vacuum sealing dry black eye peas. Is there a need to freeze the dry beans before vacuum sealing them? Thank you.

Couldnt you just skip the mylar and use the five gallon bucket sealed with oxygen absorbers?

Shalom! Thank you for the tutorial on food storage using mylar bags, oxygen absorbers and 5 gal. buckets. Pleasant Grow Farms puts out 7 ml. mylar bags and so I must order some of them. Thank you so kindly and blessings to you and yours!

How long does it take for all of the air to get out of the bag with new oxygen absorbers? I sealed three or four big bags with plenty 1000cc oxygen absorbers (2-3), and a day and half later is still seems to have a decent amount of air in the bag.

Carlos G oxygen only makes up a certain percentage of the air. there will still be other gases in the bag but the absorbers will take care of the oxygen.

You need 500 cc per Gallon

Did anyone notice that the indicator for the oxy absorbers was BLUE and NOT PINK !!!!! They were already bad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two questions one can I put the Mylar bags sealed in beans since I don’t have mice inside a plastic bin and 2 can I have flour as dry beans without freezing them for three days to kill bugs before packaging it?

Hope you rotate your "beans" The good news.. beans are good for you..Bad news.. you'll find that about 5 years or so.. they wont cook up so good..they'll be rubbery in texture...Bummer right?.. Well you don't have to throw them out if you forgot to rotate or didn't get to them.. you can grind them up and make flour. Lots of things you can make with bean flour.. mix it with other grain flour!.

This guy is goofy. He likes to do things the laziest most difficult way, those seals are horrible.

You never said how many cup fit in the mylar bag of pinto beans or what degree you put your iron on. 🫤
