Your channel does the most practical and easiest prepping minus the fear mongering. Thank you.

Hi Lady Rockstar. Another great video. This is what we want and need, Jinnie... Practical Prepping. Leave the hysterical doom mongering to others. Help us to learn what we need to do. Your the best. Loves.

I too store cereal, but in Mylar bags and then slip the bag back into the cereal box itself. Works out perfectly!

Thank you again J. I took my vacuum sealer over to a friend's house to see if she could or would use it. She raised her power chair up to the kitchen counter and was able to use it by herself. We vacuum sealed beans and lentils. She went right on amazon and ordered a full system. God bless you and yours.

Thank you. I love that your videos are short and that your upbeat personality shows through. We all need as much positive as we can get in these trying times. God bless!

Thanks for the demo , i did not know you can leave the cereal in the bag it came in and vacuum seal over it , good to know , thanks Jinne , stay safe , till next time

I never thought of adding the second seal - what a great idea.

Hi! I really like your lessons. No bull, straight forward, this is what you do. I have been doing this since the first vacuum sealer came out. I am sure everyone on your channel like the straight forward information. The only thing I would so diffrent is I vacuum seal the oxygen packets jar. You are spot on, keep up the great work.

I really needed this reminder to buy up much more food, but also to get it protected. Being able to sprout and plant may be essential as supplies get used. Sprouting and microgreens can be grown indoors when being visible isn't advisable with our food.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to spend a couple of hours vacuum sealing one day soon. So much to do this time of year that it’s easy to get behind on things like this! I haven’t vacuum sealed cereal before, any guess how long it will last? I’m sure it varies as there are so many cereals, just looking for a ball park time frame. Thanks for all you do for us!💕

Me too, I’ll do it early morning before daylight or it just gets to dang hot, in the 90’s by 10 AM

Hello J. I'm a single senior living in a hi-rise apartment in Chicago. I vacuum seal portions how I cook. I put 1 cup of beans and rice in the brown paper bags. I don't waste the whole bags for only a cup of food. I cut them off and make 2 bags by folding and tapeing the bottom of the open edges. I do double seal all of my bags, thanks to you. I then put 3 paper bags in the vacuum bags and seal them.

Yesterday I was working on some gardening and I went to one of our larger sheds to look for something. I moved some stuff around and saw 2 boxes. Wondering what was in them I opened them to find 19 half gallon ball canning jars. My husband told me I'd used all I had and must have put these boxes in here and forgot about them. I was very happy with my find. I'm cleaning them up and storing my gluten free grains in them. I used oxygen absorbers in the jars even though I have the vacuum sealer for jars.

What is a vacuum sealer for jars? I just found this site & Im new to this.

Thank you for demonstrating vacuum sealing grains & cereals for long term food storage, Jinne! I find your videos so informative and helpful. Have a great night!

I love the second seal idea thank you!!

Thanks for all of your helpful tips!

Excellent info on sprouting the lentils. I've been prepping for years and never thought of that. ty

Please do a video(s) on sprouting and planting! Had no idea about thst.

Very informative video! Thank you so much for sharing our vacuum sealer bags, mylar bags and oxygen absorbers with your viewers! It's so important to have a stocked pantry.

Thank you again, I always smile when I see another video of yours is ready to watch. :)

Thanks!

Great idea on second seal

Like the idea about sealing cereal will do next time very helpful save my jars 😊

Great video! A vacuum sealer is a definite must have in the kitchen. I have been telling a friend he needed one. He never bought one for himself, finally I bought him one along with bags as a gift. He loves it and says he's having fun with it. Keep stocking and stacking, Folk's. It's going to get rough 😕.

This video was a great tutorial. Thank you🪴

Thank you SO MUCH for showing me how to vaccum seal without crushing things! I sealed a Knorrs noodle once and I heard it breaking the noodles even after the sealing was finished. I had no idea how to do cereal other than in jars (which I am now out of)

Thanks so much for this video and God bless you.

Good informational video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Great job . GODBLESS sweetie

My Foodsaver's been working overtime lately too, I just had to bulk order some new bag rolls, I don't want to run out. Love Green Lentil Sprouts, I've got it down to 4 days growth now, it is about 6-7 days in the Winter for me. TFS HC, & take care too everyone. ❤🙂🐶

Thanks 4 sharing! I didn't realize that U could stop the vacuum part 2 seal quickly! 😬 I have 4 bags of vacuumed sealed cereal that might b pretty crushed! 😬😬😬. Oh well, learn something Every day! Blessings! 💞

I’ve always double seal my vac bags, especially for meats! Great advice on not heating your ‘seed’ type items to keep them viable for sprouting. I’ve always liked sealing my cereals in mason jars so it won’t crush, my OLD vac sealer won’t stop n seal on bags. I’ve found vac bags at the places that cater to big game hunters that are compatible with Foodsaver machines, the bags are textured in the same way and are less $.

Great Lessons. Do more please. Every little. detail helps. For. Us to. Learn. . Most important. We all New to this. We need you you are awesome. Hugs thank you

Thumbs up! 👍

Nicely done, I’m encouraged by this video for sure and will do the same!🥰

Many channels use brown paper lunch sacks to store flour, noodles, etc. Not just this one.

Another great video. Thanks. I have used my Food Saver (on my 4th one) for many things, even used it for underwear and socks for my Go Bag. Also take the core out of TP, seal it and it is small for my Go Bag. When I traveled for years, kept my earrings, etc. in Food Saver bags. My last unit is pretty new, and I think I may try done mylar bag and see if it seals.

Good Thursday morning Jeni! Good information 👍! I didn't know some of this. You have a blessed day. LUCRETIA

I cut a small slit in my rice and beans bags and then put them in a vacuum sealer bag. That way, I have all of the cooking instructions and nutritional info. I was wondering, though, if I should take them out their original bags or if the food would be OK.

Jinnie- I’d really appreciate it if you would do a video of how to make granola and cereal bars. That would be great.Every once in a while my roommate hits the food pantry and I’ve discovered I love dates( high in potassium, anti-inflammatory & many other benefits) and I’ve got a bag of hazelnuts already shelled. Have walnuts, raisins, original dried cranberries & some flavored, walnuts, chia seeds, flax meal & plenty of oatmeal!

We’ve been using the Food Saver vacuum sealer for years. It is excellent for frozen product as well as dry storage. Air is the enemy when it comes to food storage. We also use it vacuum seal the Ball Jars with the attachment. I am going to buy another and put it back for when this one finally goes. Thanks Ginny, for the demo on the vacuum sealer. Many great ways to store food for long term.

Funny because I just did the same thing and bought another set of jar sealers as backup.

I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you! I just upgraded my vacuum sealer to a Nesco. It does a much better job, it's (relatively) quiet and the sealer is closer to the front which uses less bag material.

I spout lentils for my chickens they love them, also you can eat the greens in salads. So emergency food for you & animals. I vac seal everything love it.I keep in packaging and just cut a corner off that way I have instructions on food.

Great tips! New Subscriber!

Thank you! The CVS near us is closing so I've been buying things that are 75 %off (cereals, soups, Almonds, etc) and wondering how I was going to store them for long term. I just saw this video and ordered a vacuum sealer and bags (first time). You're awesome!

Nuts are not meant for long term storage as they can go rancid. Best to vacuum deal and place in freezer for up to 1 year max.

You are so good. Enjoy and learn from your tips. Didn't even think about sprouting beans and lentils . Looked into azure after seeing your azure haul the other day but our drop off is about hr. + Away. We're really trying to watch our driving. so that's not too good for us. Keep the videos coming

I love my vacuum sealer I don't know why I hadn't ever had one before

Using O2 absorbers is the easiest way to go, imo. No worries about whether or not they're *fully* dry, which always freaked me out a little. 🙃

There is so many trying to get on utube, they give such horrible advice! Thanks for pointing everyone in the right direction ❤️ 🇺🇸

I find the foodsaver doesn't really seal mylar easy so use an impulse sealer. Really fast .

Hi Cindy. But the adults lay eggs, which hatch when oxygen is restored to the environment (ie, you open the bag). The larvae feed on the food, grow into adults and lay the next cycle of eggs. Freezing kills the adults, defrosting hatches the larvae, refreezing kills the larvae. Hope this helps.

I just found your site & I love your videos! The other day I found a video where a lady used multiple sized glass jars from salsa, spaghetti sauce etc.. to put oats, noodles in, then placed the jar into a canister to vacuum seal the jars. Have you ever done that & if so, what type canister vacuum sealer did you use. I’m having a problem finding one with good reviews. Ooops! It was you, lol so I just saw the brand of canister you use, so never mind! Thank you for these videos!

I’ve had a hard time with my beans unsealing. I’m going to do a second seal too.

I'll have to try vacuum sealing cereal. If I crush it I can use it to bread chicken for baking.

Hi there, great video. Am new to all of this and this maybe a silly question but is there a reason you do not vacuum seal some things and other times you do?

Great video and tutorial. So important for us to be putting up as much food as we can. I thought popcorn had too much moisture in it to use an oxygen absorber? (Anything that might still have 10% moisture in it.) Popcorn pops bc it has moisture in it 😉

You also can’t grow them if they cross a US boarder. If they are imported for growing they go through a different customs check, but food and fruit are treated with some process that kills the grow ability.

What do you put your bags in once you’ve sealed them?

I understand freezing rice and lentils and such because of possible bugs and such but if you remove all of the air with the sealer would that not kill them as well? Or is this just a secondary step for added protection?

Question, do you vacuum seal dry dog food? If so, do you put the oxygen absorbers in it?

I seal the absorber plastic bag

Oh myI did not put mine in freezer first. After vac seal can you freeze them after?

Will moths and weevil get into pasta? I had not thought of doing cereal yet because we don't eat a lot but couldn't I just keep it in its wax type bag it comes in, fold that over and put it into my vac seal bag and finish that way? Unless of course I decided to divide it in half because of the fact that we eat such a small amount. About how long will non sugary cereal keep?

Since you didn't suck out all the air in the cereal should you have put an O2 absorber in with the bag?

Do you have recipes for the oatmeal on how you use it

Do I need to put my oats in freezer first??? Help I not sure what to put in freezer first before vac. Sealing

Wouldn’t an airtight bad kill any bugs?

How do you decide which foods you want to put in a Mylar bag with an oxygen absorber?

Im curious why you dont put them in paper lunch bags to keep them in the dark?

@heygetoffmylawn1572

2 жыл бұрын

I see your point. However, if you store the vac sealed food in a dark container, in a cool dry place, there wouldn’t be any immediate need to use the lunch bag. The lunch bag addition does serve a purpose, though.

I'm so paranoid after getting moths that I freeze and use bay leaves. Other things I vacuum seal in jars. All it takes is once lol. I honestly didn't know that bugs could be in rice until it was too late. In clearing out the kitchen pantry where they were, we learned cardboard will not keep them out. Most things we tossed and made the mistake of opening a cardboard can of panko and it was full of webs & moths came flying out. Every remedy I ever heard of was brought to bear lol

Great video, thanks. Questions: No oxygen absorbers in the cereals? How long do you think things like Rice Crispies and Corn Flakes will be ok? "Oatmeal" or "Oats", is there a difference?

can you vacuum seal them first and then freeze them? for a day or two and let them thaw. It seams like it would not be able to condense moisture from the environment.

O2 absorbers would make your food last so much longer. Amazon has them

Great video, I see you date your bags but you don't say how long they can last for? Thanks Terry

I do not understand why you have to use the Mylar bags and O2 absorbers if you vacuum seal and place buckets.. any ideas about this?

If you are removing the oxygen, how are insects able to live? Shouldn't have to freeze things.

@dandycat2204

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Jay. It isn't the adult insects that survive...it's the eggs they lay. The eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the food and become adults infesting your food. Freezing kills the adults, defrosting causes the eggs to hatch, and re-freezing kills the larvae, thus preventing them from laying the next cycle of eggs. Hope this helps.

Write the kg price in the bag and if the current price is below that you could consume the bag and buy more to store

Why don't you use the vaccuum seal baggies for the beans? I think they are cheaper than mylar bags too.
