What size oxygen absorber to use in Mason jars?
Image result for oxygen absorbers chart for jars
When using smaller Mason jars, a 50cc oxygen absorber will suffice. For a larger quart-size Mason jar, a 100cc size will be fine.

I've stored my pasta like this for years. It's out of the box as soon as I get it home. Rice as well. Never have had a problem with bugs or mice. It works!
I was going to ask if it could last more than a year. Thanks
I store rice, flour, sugar, pasta, dry potatoes all in bags that lay flat in frig drawers. Also I put my yeast packets in freezer. Keeps them from expiring 😊😊
I have for a whole year, before COVOD a plastic container with yeast pack full closed in my freezer chest. Hope it lasts long
@@lightgiver7311 Yes. They are dried.
The 1/2 gallon glass jars with an oxygen absorbers is how I store my pasta, rice and beans. I need to invest the the vacuum sealer. I successfully got 4 pints of chicken and one pint of broth pressure canned. Yay me! Got over that fear! 😂
I do the same thing with my pasta. My daughter came over and opened my pantry, saw an entire shelf of different pastas, and questioned my sanity. She just doesn’t get it 🤷♀️. She’s a family of 6, so you’d think she would have learned a thing or two from her mother, lol!
Do you have a jumble jar? I usually have one jar that’s the last little bits of the pasta shapes. If there’s not enough for a meal, into the jumble jar it goes! When the jar has enough pasta in it for a meal we use the pasta. A lot of different shapes all mixed together. It’s kinda fun!
@KellySibson I've always done the same & call it my soup jar.
You would think . My hubby thinks I'm a hoarder but he's slowly coming around.
my daughters are the same...my son however doesnt care how i store food as long as there is food
@@prepperpatti-rc3nl When he is hungry.....he will get it. lol
One of the beauties of vacuum sealing the jars as opposed to using oxygen absorbers in the jars is you can open the jar up, use what you need and reseal the jars. Otherwise you have to use a new absorber everytime you open the jar.
Unfortunately the oxygen absorbers did NOT keep bugs out of my brown rice 🥴very disappointing!
Dried beans ok to vaccime seal and rice???
@@candasluikart6027 yes
That's true. I do not have a vacuum sealer, so I just use pint jars. (That's the perfect amount for my pasta dishes.)Then I use my oxygen absorber
Honestly I pour mine into whatever size Ziploc bag and lay them flat in a drawer in my frig. Do it with rice, mashed potatoes, flour and sugar. Throw my Yeasts packets in freezer.
"a little jarring to get recognized" LOL I see what you did there Leisa 😂
I always put pasta or flour in the freezer for 3-4 days first to kill any bug eggs that may be in there. I store in buckets or tote containers and leave them in their packages. Never a problem so far. I use the glass jars for my kitchen pantry but everything else is stored in the basement. I vacuum seal nuts, dehydrated or freeze dried items, etc.
I dont know about anybody else but I have had some pastas in my kitchen cupboard for years and when I have found them (I am more organized now) they are like I just bought them. I have never in my 63 years seen bugs in pasta. So when I started prep-buying last year, I started by using the half gallon jars I had, then I had an idea.
I got a bunch of 5 gallon buckets from the restaurant my kids used to work for. Paid for some gamma lids. About 3, one pound boxes of pasta, like shapes, fit in a gallon ziplock. I just throw the bags in the bucket. I throw some bay leaves in the bucket too.
I am very certain they will be fine in my cool basement. I can get into it anytime and pick whichever shape I feel like.
Oh and I just slid angel hairs, fettuccine and spagetti boxes down along the sides.
One bucket of pastas but I may start another.
Using the half gallon jars on other things.
There's just something very comforting about watching someone building up their pantry (even if that someone isn't me). We're quite toward the end of our pantry, but that's by design (because moving).
The pasta on our shelf that we're eating for dinner this week was PandemicPasta bought in 2020. It was a good sale back then, so I bought quite a bit. Vacuum sealed it in a food saver bag just in the original (plastic bag) packaging since I don't have a lot of 1/2 gallon jars, and my spouse doesn't like broken spaghetti then the vacusucked bags went into a 5 gallon bucket. 3 years later, the pasta is still totally fine :)
In hindsight, I wish I'd written the cost per pack on the bags, it would've been interesting to see how it compared to todays prices.
I didnt vacuum seal anything and it's still fine after 6months+ ?
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook I didn't either. I just put my rice, pasta, spaghetti, oatmeal into a sealed ziploc bag with bay leaves. Also flour and cornmeal and then into a bucket, sealed and labeled the contents. Fingers crossed! 🤞
I forgot to say I have saved all of my receipts so that I can compare the rising costs. I got a notebook and put a double pencil holder in it. Big side for receipts, small zipper part for ink pen and pencil. As they get used up, erase the quantities so I know what I need to get more of. 👍
We’re did you buy your food saver, with the attachment with it love it great idea
I don't use jars either...space saver for me is putting them in bags and laying flat in frig drawers. I do the same with rice, flour, sugar dry potatoes. I also put my yeast packets in freezer. I made italian Easter bread Sunday with packet from freezer that says it expired Oct 22. Bread was larger then life and delicious 😊
Am learning every day. Using oxygen inhibitors for 4 gallon jars of rice this week. Making your stew recipe tomorrow, did food prep today. Husband added supports to the closet shelves we are using for my food already canned. Having a blast canning, wish I knew this 10 years ago, but always ready to learn something new.
I do this exactly as you did but I wiggle my jars and throw in a bay leaf!😊. Easy Peasy!
I just use the bay leaf and star anise in a recycled cleaned OJ bottle. I figure if the rest of the world can store their pasta and rice in the bottles so can I. Haven't had a problem yet.
Costco has a Foodsaver on sale that also contains one of these handheld pumps. I burnt out a Foodsaver machine having a canning jar vacuum sealing party one day. We replaced it w/a higher end vacuum machine but I bought the new Foodsaver specifically to vacuum my jars. So I guess I got a twofer with the sale. I love your ideas.
Just ordered my handheld vacuum! I didn’t know it was a thing! But I learned to pressure can with you and it’s been a success- not surprised there’s more I can learn from your videos! Thank you!! ❤
That is awesome!
There was a time I knew 4 busy people/ families with the full sized Food Savers and I would keep my eye open for bagging, container, and attachments on sake and on ckearance. Then between all the gifting occasions during the year, at least one per person involved Food Saver stuff. One time one of the jar sealer attachments were on clearance and it was a whole new ball game for the recipient and then the others on my gift list. Food Saving in canning and canning like jars is a game changer for the fridge, the freezer, and the dry good shelves.
I use this method for so much. Oats, pasta, rice, lentils, beans, chocolate chips, m&m candy, jelly beans, split peas, potato flakes, dehydrated shredded hash browns, dehydrated potato slices, some bulk bought spices, and the list goes on. I got most of my jars either as gifts (used) or bought before the prices got super crazy. I also pressure can a lot of other things. I reuse plastic juice bottles for sugar. Might do the same in the future with salt.
Where did you get your potato flakes?😊
Love the rechargeable hand held sealer. I need to get one. I hate dragging out the whole machine to seal a few jars (No counter space). 🤔😊
Just ordered more 1/2 gallon jars today! Got to protect our food from those hitch-hikers, right? Never thought about how many hands food goes through before it gets to my pantry! Thanks for the eye-opener. I do vacuum seal bags and jars but you convinced me to get a hand-held vacuum sealer.
For the life of me, I can't get the Food Saver jar attachment to work. Ever. The bag vacuum device works like a charm. So, my mechanic husband bought me a Pittsburg pump, and we got a large piece of pvc and the lid that screws on with a butterfly screw. I use an old lid, put the ring on so air will come out, loose but not too loose, stick it in there, tighten it down, and attach the hoses to it. All home-made. I haven't done pasta yet, but with that said, I routinely cook pasta with a best by date that is months past. It tastes fine.
Since it is now just my husband and I, I love cooking some of the pasta or rice and then dehydrating them to make them "instant". I vacuum seal them in jars and pull out what we need for a quick meal for one or two. Just add some hot water or throw them into a casserole to quickly have a meal.
I had planned on doing this with my pasta Friday, but life happened so it was yesterday. Jarred it up, sucked the air out with a regular food saver, calculated how much we need for a year (do you even know how much easier your way of doing that has made my life?!), found a place for it on the metal shelves, put the boxes in recycle. 👏🏻👏🏻 Today it’s back to work on seeds & pantry inventory. Thank you!❤
You've got this!
I even vacuum sealed all my many veggie seed packages. I m ready for 2024 season. I want a green house.
Lisa, one of the things I have started doing is I have saved my 20 oz soda bottles also my 19.6 Oz soda bottles. I have rinsed them out and let them dry thoroughly. Then I purchased a new oil diesel fuel filter from the auto store and cut off part of it so that the tip would fit into the neck of the soda bottle. I then used the funnel and put rice beans xcetera into the soda bottles. Then I have placed an oxygen absorber in the soda bottle. Since there is a seal in the lid it makes an airtight seal and the oxygen absorber absorbs all of the oxygen. You will see the sides of the bottle pulled in showing signs of the oxygen being absorbed. And this is how I have stored rice and beans and lentils etc.
I knew if I looked on you site. I would know the answers. I put pancake mix in quart jars, but couldnt get any to seal. Ordered the Food Saver hand held. Your my hero
Happy to see you adding pasta to your semi-long term pantry. I have a love-hate relationship with the FoodSaver jar lid accessory. Sometimes it works awesome, sometimes it fights me. LOL But no matter, I WIN in the end and have safe dried goods in those lovely half gallon mason jars.
My jar lid vacuum doesn't work. I bought a second set (LG & sm mouth adapter) & it didn't work easier.
I do all my cereal this way. Oatmeal and pasta, salt. I add those moisture things and my salt and sugar don’t become bricks
Moisture absorbers are different than oxygen absorbers. I hope you used oxygen absorbers @OldNanz
@@yarnprepper not for salt or sugar. I use a machine to take air out
@@oldnanz I misunderstood what you wrote, I thought you used the moisture thing on your cereal
Don’t ever vacuum seal sugar it will turn into a hard brick, all that you need to do is put a lid on it and tighten the ring. Salt is the same.
@@cindybonem494 Hi Cindy, we leave sugar in the factory bag and vacuum seal bag and all in a large vacuum sealer bag. Never had an issue with bricking in the five years we've done it this way. GOD bless.
That is so neat 😮
I live in an old farmhouse. I store everything in jars keeps the mice out. My Cats don't always do the job quick enough. I use brake bleeder to seal the jars with the foodsaver lids
@@southerncatlady6680 There are lots of videos on yt on how to use. Look for (brake bleeder for vacuum sealing jars) it's quiet, no electricity and no battery to die off in the middle of your work. And good exercise too- lol.
Thus is something I do with pasta and dried hashbrown potatoes. Works great. Thanks for sharing ❣️
Great ideas.
That little gadget is so cool!
Thank you!
This was so satisfying to watch.
I mark my vacuum lids with a big V. It eliminates accidentally using for canning
Love your sense of humor… hitch-hikers!
Thankyou Leeza!!!!
thanks that was useful
Awesome video ❤
You both are amazing!!!
Leisa, seriously, if it weren't for you, I would not have a stocked pantry!!!💖
Oh thank you!
I have my pastas, jars and vacuum sealer to get mine done! Got all of the pasta for$.98 a box! Looking at having 12 jars ready for the pantry by end of the week! Whoo Hoo! I love stocking for my family!!!
That is awesome!
Great video! Thank you 😊
I had no idea! Good to know this. Love learning from you😊
Great video and great information
Great ideas,
Thank you for this video. I love your videos. I use the same little vacuum sealer. I love it.
I Love Canuary, Too! Thank you Leisa!
Loved this! I must order me one. Ty for sharing.
I used the attachment to my foodsaver with the hose to do pasta and dried beans .love using my 1/2 gallon jars
Hi Lisa good information ❤
I have everything triple packaged. I go with the LaModerna or Goya as it is mini sized and cooks faster. It was 24 cents a package when I started purchasing it. Now it is 48 cents to 60 cents per package. I keep around 150 pounds of dried pasta.
I go overboard.
When it was Y 2 K I called the pasta factory to know how long pasta will last,she said, indefinitely. Of course a degrading happens. Fill my tummy up with some pasta sauce, I'm good 👍 😋
I love this. I do this with my dehydrated items.
I love that little food saver. I have had mine for about 3 years.
I have that food saver…LOVE IT! I buy lots of coffee when on sale and put in the freezer. I have had coffee a year over expiration date. It is still great.
That is awesome!
I'm drinking coffee now. The grounds are sealed in the Blue Plastic Maxwell House tubs. Mine says BB2021. But it's stored properly and smells so good when I open it.
Glad that the jar sealers are back in stock and not crazy stupid prices anymore!
Right?!
@@SuttonsDaze I did find an alternative wide mouth one that was decently priced and available when things got really crazy that worked with both the hose and the hand held pretty good if you used it right (had to screw the sealer on) but the manufacturer never had a regular mouth one but that's ok because I pretty much stick with wide mouth unless it's some of my older jars that I haven't replaced yet.
Hi Lisa. Thanks for the tip. Needed this.
You are so welcome!
Just found your channel. Looking forward to learning. Now to binge watch
You are such a great instructor! I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. I'm also getting the foodsaver you're using here. Thank you!
I have jars and jars of pasta and I used my food saver to seal it I love your vacuum sealer.
In all my days of ignorance, I never knew pasta could go bad, have bugs, etc. I’d better get busy doing this! I’ve just started a pantry and live alone so don’t really eat that much or have much room for storage. Also just found your channel. I’m 76 but not too late to learn a few things!
Thanks for all you teach. I learn something every time I watch you. Appreciate all you do.
So nice of you
Lisa, Thank You so much for sharing always great Knowledge!
You are so welcome!
Great video, Leisa! I think I’ll do this for Christmas presents for my adult children. Vacuum sealed pasta, with a few cans of tomato sauce and/ or crream soups, along with some canned chicken and freeze dried ground beef and some seasonings could provide them with a few weeks of food storage. They will probably just give me the eye roll, 🙄 but life and experience has proven that I’m probably more correct than they are in their expectations. Thanks for the video! I love using 1/2 gallon jars for vacuum dealing foods!❤
Don't discount this gift! My daughter and her little family have to be gluten free so I think a gift of air-sucked pasta along with a jar of RTU sauce would be very thankfully recieved.
Wow, what a wonderful little gadget. I have yet to vacuum seal anything like pasta yet. At most I only keep about 6 pounds each of a variety of different pastas. So far I've had no problem except I've noticed the Aldi brand spaghetti seems to have fractures in each piece so when you cook it it breaks in those places. I just assumed it was like that when I bought it. Maybe not. I will check each box of spaghetti when i buy it in the future.Thanks for sharing Leisa.
Absolutely love this! I started putting my pasta into jars like this, but then I realized I had way too much on hand and not enough jars, I had to switch over to 5 gallon buckets for my pastas! I do use mylar bags and oxygen absorbers but oh my goodness I didn’t realize how much pasta I actually had in stock, but it was said and done I had nearly 200 pounds of pasta lol
Great information
Glad you liked it
I never knew you could do this, I'm learning so much on your channel.
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this video. I have wondered about how to vacuum seal jars, but did not know how it was done. You always have wonderful educational videos. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I need to start doing this. Definitely need to stock up more on things when they are in sale.
Love the fact you time your talking to pouring noodles.
Just placed another order for ForJars. Love them. Thanks Leisa🎉
Glad you like them!
That was a great deal for .99 cents a pound. Looks like you found some great deals.
I make cooked things, like meatballs and lasagna. Flash freeze them and then vacuum seal them. It avoids freezer burn.
I do a lot of my pantry storage this way.
I have mine in the lunch brown bags and vacuum sealed in my sealer bags and in a tote with black bag over it in closet plus jars with socks over them to keep light out there in closetplus hashbrowns oats sugar flour baking p and baking s cocoa salt all in jars beans sealed in bags some in jars cereal learn from u and jenny homestead i use spt jars salsa jars jelly jars save all my jars and alaska granny site all good vedios thank u 😊
I just ordered that hand sealer. I have machine but, this will be perfect. Tuvm
I use the food saver jar attachments with a brake bleeder pump... no need for electricity.... just a workout for your hand and arm..
I didn't know the little rechargeable even existed. That's awesome and takes up way less space than the big vacuum sealer. Thanks for sharing.
My Nana loved Creamette elbows too.
Nice haul Leisa !! I love a good deal when you find it.
Me too!!
Great video Leisa. I've just ordered myself some of the lid sealers, O2 absorbers and liners for my dehydrator as Mothers' Day presents. A true prepper, no chocs or girly treats for me.😂
I also vacuum seal pasta, rice, flour, oatmeal etc. in 1/2 gallon jars. Only difference is I'll throw in a bay leaf to repel any weavel eggs and moths from hatching in them. I know freezing accomplishes the same thing but who has any freezer space. I will also tuck bay leaves here and there in my pantry, mice are supposedly repelled by the odor.
I’ve been storing some of my dried goods that way and love it 😊 I just want to thank you for the Make It March collaboration. I started canning almost two years ago and am learning SO much from you- thank you! I canned mushrooms for the first time this month - very good 👍🏻
Shrioms!!!! ❤️❤️
Love stocking up on pasta and elbows are a favorite.i grew up eating elbows with Ketchup since I did not like Mac and Cheese.
I do the same thing with mine! Love “ hitchhikers”!!🤣🤣🤣
Y'alls momma and my momma must have been related. We were so poor but momma always found a way for Creamettes. My fave was chili Mac. Always enjoy y'all. Blessings, julie
Love that re-chargeable vac. sealer, it works good, the big ones are such a pain and never seal or they loose their seal. I have been looking for the large elbows for a neighbor, she used to live in Mass. and wanted some for chili mac. never seen it here, good buy.
Looks fabulous. Great idea for using the ugly chicken too!
Gonna try this. And Phil is so cute. He reminds me of my vet buddy named Phil. I called him Phil Bob. He always had tie die on. And loved his moonshine.
Thank you for showing us this! My goodness I haven’t seen creamette pasta in years❤
You are so welcome!
That was the only kind of macaroni we had (or what my parents bought) when I was a kid! Brought back some memories!
I love my handheld vacuum sealer! I use it daily. My also stays charging on the counter.
I also got a 3 silicone funnel set!😂 Game changer!🎉 Especially for a klutz like me.😅
I'm new to canning n preserving food. You've taught me so much and I'm very proud of my pantry... I still needs more things like the jar sealer. 😁 I've got guarts of different foods that need to be sealed.. most of it is dsehydrated and I might get into them every couple of months
You can do it!
I do this as well but always lug out the brake bleeder and hose. I am definitely going to invest in that little hand held gem! Thanks for sharing! And too funny…I do the SAME thing with my coffee (cut the store bought with the coffee club flavored). 😉👍
Stretching that dollar while still having a little splurge ❤️
Please give us a video on using a vacuum sealer. Where did u get yours and which one is it. Also what can u vacuum seal in jars and for how long will the food stay good. Please help me, I want to store things in jars and do not know how!!!!!❤️ I really like ur videos and the way u explain what you are doing and why!!!! Great job😊
I've been doing this for years now. Now I need the hand held one. Good information for all of us to do
Thanks!
I just got one for Christmas. I love, love it!
That works great, I just seen Walmart started carrying that, since they carry that brand.
I really like half gallon jars for storage. I don't see them for sale in my area very often but when i do I'm on it.
if you cook it, rinse and put it in the dehydrator, you only have to have hot water and 10 to 20 mins and it is instant ready. I had no clue till i did it. When hydrated with hot water you dont have all that starch :) Can do in regular vacuum bags as long as you store them in a dark place, totes, buckets etc. you're welcome
I've done pkgs of koolaid for my grandkids, along with candy & cookies.
Even done jello, pudding( in jelly jars)OH & I've done cake mixes. Remember to put a coffee filter on cake or powder mixes, for the pudding & jello
used jelly jars & cupcake liners. If you don't you are taking a chance of breaking your vaccumn sealer.
I hook my Food Saver jar lid sealer caps to my Weston food saver with a tubing attachment the fits in the hole next to the buttons. It does a thorough job.
Hi, Leisa. You showed that little device some months ago, maybe here, maybe Facebook. I don't recall. Anyway, I got one and have been using it. It was reassuring to watch you and know I'm using it properly. Although the lids sealed tightly, I was concerned I wasn't doing it long enough and waiting for a distinctive 'pop' or something, so I let it suction probably far longer than necessary. 😊
You've got this
Hi. Thank you. I really want one of those hand held food savers. I'll add it to my next shopping trip. Oh yeah, you have a link. Better yet. Thank you. Love and God bless
Gotcha covered :-)
I did not even know that think existed. Much easier than pulling out my food saver.
