- So you bought some oxygen absorbers and they came sealed in packages of 8 or 10, but you only need to use a couple at a time. Don't worry about the rest of them going to waste after cutting open the package, because I'm going to show you 2 super easy ways to seal your unused O2 absorbers back up so they'll be ready to use next time you need them.

Thanks Great Lakes. I tend to use the jar method if at all possible. It's a personal choice that I just feel more comfortable with.
Good suggestions.
I also use a large (tall) FoodSaver canister to seal a jar I’ve placed absorber packets into.
I can use any jar with a screw-on lid, like pasta sauces, etc. or reusable plastic mason jar caps these work really well). I put the jar in the canister and screw on the jar lid, then I back off the lid just slightly. Then I put FoodSaver sealing lid on the canister and connect the vacuum line to my FoodSaver. I then run the FoodSaver to seal the canister (the jar is in the canister). When the FoodSaver stops I remove the hose , release vacuum and open the canister. The jar I had in the canister is now vacuum sealed. I then retighten the jar lid if needed, but the vacuum should have pulled the lid down tightly. I’ve used the FoodSaver mason jar attachment as well, but this method works on any suitable jar and cap.
I trust the jar method more. I've had sealed bags, and yes, they were definitely vacuum sealed good, pop and I don't know why. Some popped after 6 months of being sealed. So, the jar method is definitely more dependable.
Thank you!!! I’m a newbie and this was very helpful information to me!
You're welcome Joe, thanks
I use the whole bag and that leaves me a place to reseal if I have to take one or two out of it. Works well. I do try to seal them up in the quantities I seem to use most.
I purchased a bag of O2 absorbers, many in the package. Opened it, used the few I needed, Then put the rest in a mason jar, with a good airtight lid. Been taking them out as needed, reseal the jar, they are good to go. Think if you have a bunch in a small sealed jar, they will not go bad. Actually works, no need to complicate this. If you have 20 leftover O2 absorbers, in a pint, sealed jar, they will still be good. Try it, open the jar, you will hear the hiss.
No doubt. But every time you open that jar, all the remaining packets will have to re-absorb all the oxygen that is now in there. Each time you open the lid, you're reducing the lifespan of every packet. Vacuum-sealing the jar is how I minimize that loss.
@@GreatLakesPrepping Understand, but using the vacuum sealed ones does the same, unless you vacuum seal a few, in individual packages, which is not cost effective.
Hello, I don’t have one of those shield machines is there anything else you can use?
I recently put a bunch of little OA’s in a jar. Within a couple minutes I heard an audible pop just like when canning. I tapped the lid and it was sealed just like a processed jar. I figured the OA’s sucked the air out making it just like using an attachment.
That's true, but in the meantime, those oxy absorbers are getting somewhat "spent" by absorbing the air inside that jar. Suck the air out with a vacuum sealer and it leaves the OA's mostly unused.
Just reseal the bag. Cut along the edge.
What if you don’t have anything to reseal
CAN I USE IT WITH BREAD?
It could possibly help in some small way, but I don't suspect it would preserve the life of your bread for much longer. If you fully dehydrate the bread (thus making it basically breadcrumbs), then yea it would probably help in a substantial way if sealed with oxygen absorbers.
When do you know an absorber is spent?
They are hard
