Thank you AP! I love your videos! Keep them coming!!
I'm a new prepper I appreciate all that you educate me on, thank you
Unfortunately in Australia the jar sealers are very expensive as they have to be purchased and shipped from the US. Even Amazon Australia is more expensive than eBay. So thankyou for showing the bag technique
The jar sealers are not available.
Hi Tracy here im new at this so thanks for all that information its greatly appreciated im excited to get started
I'm from New Zealand and I just leave all of our pasta in it's original bag and just put them into a food grade bucket as they are. with no oxygen absorbers and store them in our basement, pulling out a bag as required. We are eating 6 year old pasta and it is still as good as the day I put it there.
Where in NZ did you get the food grade bucket.
@@michaelrosspearson9756 You can get food grade buckets from places such as bakeries, restaurants etc. when they have finished using their contents. Mine come from a hotel that has a restaurant where I have some family members working. They generally just throw them out so I'm sure if you approached some of these places, they would be happy to give you some. Another thing that I'm using is the brown buckets from Repco and they also sell red gamma seal lids to go on top. These make it so much easier to access the food. They are are #5 which is still food grade, but I generally put a large food grade plastic bag into the buckets and store things like loose sugar etc inside it, or I put the foods into vacuum sealed bags or jars and store them in the buckets. It keeps the rodents out! For even longer food storage - I will use mylar bags with oxygen absorbers which will keep the food good for up to 25 - 30 years stored in the buckets if you store your food correctly. E.g. protected from heat, light, moisture and kept airtight. Hope this is of some help to you. Sue.
Just seen this . I subscribed because of the good manners you use and your info is 110% valuable especially in these uncertain times . Dont change a thing !!! 😁
I’m new too but a great great teacher and resource
110? Unreal
@@RiceaRoni354 you forgot one great.
You peoplle exaggerate and don't know English.
No such thing as great great unless you're talking about great great grandma or grandpa or aunt or.....
He is very polite. His parents did a good. I have learned a lot from him.
I think I know what you're talking about, the so called "Christian's", with the mouth of someone demonically possessed.
In min 15 instead of cutting a piece of paper or parchment paper, I put the pasta in a paper bag from dollar store 100 bags for $1. Thank you so much for all your helpful videos! I really enjoy them! 💕
Good idea.. people do this with fine powder like flour sugars salt ext... keeps the powdery stuff from clogging your vacuum process.
I learned that as well. Sometimes the pasta is sharp enough to compromise the seal bag so the paper lunch bag acta as an additional zone of protection.
Thanks for that idea. I use those lunch bags for all kinds of things, but I didn't think of this!
That’s exactly how I do it too!
@@donnac.3268 yes!
I read an article that stated egg noodles best stored only 10 years. For longer storage- buy eggless noodles- 25 years. Also- if grid down/ camping , etc- you would want a thinner noodle that would cook faster saving time /fuel . 😉
or use a thermal cooker.
GREAT SUGGESTION, ELBOW NOODLES, THANKS
I alway buy No-Yoke brand, I cant tell the difference (except home made pasta)
I know from experience that pasta will last at least 10 years vacuum sealed in mason jars and still taste like new. I didn't use the oxygen absorbers.
I was told that oxygen absorbers are not needed if you vacuum seal a jar. You are right.
You can buy paper lunch bags anywhere. Place your pasta inside one, fold it closed and THEN vacuum seal in a food saver bag.
BINGO that is what I do as well!
Me too..
Do you use oxygen and dormers for your pasta and mashed potatoes and cereal that I put in my canning jars or my vacuum seal bags please help me with this and I’ve got to get a put a gear in my behind and get this
I have had pasta in old plastic water bottles nothing extra for about 15 years , still fine.
That's good to hear. I live on a sailing boat and I use cola bottles or other cool drinks bottles and store rice, flour, lentils etc in it. I put it very tight in it and put on top a barley leaf and a silica sachet. Also I put masking tape around the bottle cap.
@@traudlp.579 you mean bay leaf.
I am putting mine in the 4 gallon water bottle from Sam's. I pull the silver foil from the cap and silicone the hole on top as soon as I buy it, so it will be dry when I put my product in it. Then I clean and dry my jug for several days. I use 8-300 cc oxygen absorbers and then I hot glue the top the entire cap and glue the cap and glue below the round hump. Seems to work well. I am thinking about putting them in 5 gallon mylar bags with another oxygen absorber to make sure they don't get air.
@@traudlp.579 Barley leaf???? Why??? Barley leaves are just grass. Trying to figure out how that would help...
@@moonharp sorry, I mean bay leaves. When you live in a warm climate it protects against weevils. Haven't had any problems with them here in the UK. I think it's just a habit of mine to put bay leaves around.
Great video! Thank you. I have not had the pleasure to watch all of your videos yet, but in regarding vacuum sealing, BUT, if you are sealing flour, I have seen a video for sealing flour, put 5 cups into a brown paper bag, place oxygen absorbers in the bag, fold it over one time and tape with blue painters tape, placing the date on the tape. Place the brown bag into the vacuum bag then vacuum and seal as normal. The brown bag is still open enough to let air/oxygen be removed but not the flour, that can damage you're machine
Wanted to add when I put pasta in foodsaver bags I place in brown paper bags, roll the tops down and then seal.
What's the brown bags for ? Thnks
@@tonyaberney156 to keep sharp pasta from punching holes in food saver bags.
I swear by my food saver system! I've done flour, noodles, rice, beans , pancake mix, instant mashed potatoes for long term storage.
I cut little holes in the original pasta or rice bags then put them inside the saver bags and seal. I have some been sealed 4 years. Love food saver 😋
Quick question. Do you still need oxygen absorber if you are vacuum sealing?
You do not need the oxygen absorber because if the vac bag gets a puncture the absorber can not seal it any way so it’s a waste .
If you don't use the oxygen absorber when you use the saver bags, do you need to pre-freeze the pasta or rice to prevent weevils? Or can you just vacuum seal it up? Thanks!
I get a better success rate with the textured side at the bottom, probably for 2 reasons, I use rolls instead of bags so the curve from the roll holds in better when it's down, and I'm Australian so everything is upside down to me naturally
Duncan Massive
😂 lol
It's much cheaper to use bags, rather than the rolls. They have different brands on Amazon, and for different prices. Much better buy than Food Saver bags or rolls.
@@JayP-kd5rc 'Courses for Horses' man, Maybe the exchange rate or manufacture location changes things, also the use of.. I don't often seal 'standard' size items, mostly I do up snacks and meals for work, and a bag is more waste than use, where a roll I can cut the exact size I want, which will be different from day to day.
Another good example of Aussie prices, the mason jar vacuum sealer, cost's $54 of my money, our general paycheck and food/rent is in the same ballpark, but random items can be outrageously expensive.
My husband keeps saying we need a food sealer. What's the best way to purchase? New? Used? Brand?
@@Monkchip the one k-mart had still works
Thank you so much for this video. I believe I need to remove my rice and pasta from my jars for a few hours because I sealed them from the freezer :( , rewash, sanitize the jars, refill my jars and put oxygen absorbers in my jars. I'm a beginner and learning 😎
I just watched Rose and thats what she does. Freeze 3 or 4 days to kill any larvae or bugs and let stand 24 hrs to get rid of any moisture. Also beginner! 👍💗
I use my canning funnel any time I'm putting anything, even dry foods into a jar. That helps keep from losing food out when filling jars.
I have a smaller food saver, and I have used it for 25 years now. My mum always gets so angry with me, when I use it, but now she has understood why I use it. I take a big piece of meat and cut it up, vaccumseal it and put it in the freezer. I do the same thing with fruit, vegetables and berries. Everything is sealed. I even have fresh herbs frozen. I used a simpler bag to seal fabric, so I can store it in the basement. Regards from Sweden.
Looks like I’m going to be putting more pasta into jars again. I was told last year I should not do that. I had always done it. Thanks Rudy @Alaska Prepper. I like the jars better than the bags as to me they are easier to store for me. I guess doing both is good.
*Believe it or not, l have found various brand "Food Saver" units (with bags!) at different thrift stores....for cheap! One time l got a unit with 4-5 rolls of bags for $5!* _So do keep a watch out at thrift stores and garage sales!_
Yep!
Yup, $4. I called company to get missing vacuum seal hose and connector. It was still under warranty so they sent it free!
I really like the added benefit of the parchment paper and I never thought of keeping the food item in the original bag while vacuum packing it.
I’m so glad I found your channel from this comment. I’m like you, disabled and prepping!
@@rosezingleman5007 thank you so much and may God bless you to overflowing.
Last night i put a small hole in the pasta bag ,I left pasta in the original bag inside the foodsaver bag and it vacuum sealed perfectly ,this morning the bag was full of air because the bag had been punctured by the pasta
@@ruthdoyle3572 mine has been doing the same. I even tried the brown paper bag and the parchment paper. I was so frustrated.
I found out the hard way also
Just found your channel, liked and subscribed. Reminded me of thing or two I had forgotten. I only read about 200 of the comments, so if this is mentioned, sorry all. If you seal it as high on the food saver bag as you can, in the future, you can cut the bag open, use some out of the bag, and reseal the existing bag, just like new. When I make my own custom bags, I make them about an inch or two longer than necessary, to be able to do this.
You can also put your pasta in lunch bags, fold them down and put in mylar bags works really well. You can get 100 lunch bags for $2 cheaper then food saver bags, they just got to expensive.
dragonflyneb
Gosh that’s a great idea. I’m gonna try that.
Great tip🤙🏽
But your way, you are using mylar bags, which cost more than the plastic vacuum bags. And Food Saver brand are too expensive, but you can buy the vacuum bags on Amazon from different companies at good prices.
What you are saying, replaces the parchment paper he used. Not the bags. You still need to use either the vacuum bags or mylar bags. Vacuum bags are less expensive.
That works for flour too. That way it doesn’t get sucked into your machine.
Its the mylar bags that are going to cost you...
I just said the same thing great minds think alike. And it works
I removed all my pasta and cereals and put them into large and small Jars.I have been doing this for over 3 Years.
@Mrs. R. yes u need to vacuum seal or dry prepp in jars
and I add that oxy pak in the lid with tape over it so it doesn't touch product
😂 I have stored dry foods (cereals and pastas, etc.) in canning jars since 1965... my friends thought I was crazy. But I also dehydrate and “can” foods as well.
@@sharonjohnson8604 That actually sounds like a great idea. Thank you for sharing I myself thought of something like that too.
I’m in Alaska, too. So happy to find this, as I’m just getting started dry canning. Very excited to try this.
I love my food saver machine. I've gone through 2 over the last 26 years.
I use the same method with my beans and rice and leave it in the original packaging. Might need to poke a small hole to allow the air to escape but it works very well and I haven't had any issues with it puncturing the outer bag.
I'll do 3 month supply in a bag, then either reveal or vacuum into a jar once bag gets opened. If I careful, I should be able to reuse my bags for pasta again.
I love the fact you used original bag, parchment paper and double sealed, great job.👍👍💚
I've stored pasta for several years in the original packaging and on a shelf or in a box with no problems at all.
Good way for bugs and mice to get into them. Pantry moths will get into them, and mice love pasta.
So far I haven’t had any issues with bugs or mice.. I do prefer to put my food in glass jars
Lottie Ab - I store my pasta in their original boxes in huge plastic totes to keep them free from rodents and cuts down on moisture. Always works well. I used to put my beans in huge tins, but found it better to keep them in their original plastic packaging and store them that way in totes. Same with the rice. Never had a problem - fresh as the day I bought them.
No problem that u knew about...u probably ate more moths and moth eggs than u can count lol
@@sabrinac4820 extra protein 😋. Chinese people do it all the time !
@Alaska Prepper. I love watching your old videos from your tiny kitchen teaching basic skills. I miss seeing you do this
AP: your videos are always so positive, informational, and you are so respectful--such a nice "change" from a lot of the videos out there! Thank you for sharing your info.! Blessings to you and yours from Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN:)
This video explains the food saver in a much easier way than any other one I've watched. Thanks for making the video!
Your method of the food saver bag with pasta is AWESOME!!! BRILLIANT!!! and I think some things do need a second seal. You thought of everything.
Just watched your video and thought I knew it all, boy have you taught me so much more, cannot thank you enough! Keep those videos coming. I have subscribed!
If looking to save jars, especially now with the “shortage”, 1 can reuse a 1, 2, or 3 liter plastic bottles as well, keep in a box or dark, dry area.
Save your gatorades ..my tip to . mince\mill some up cause youll be concerned about cooking it... Aka..hot water to cook it!!!!! Whether its by fire..gas or electric...wshtf.... Utensils..pot\pans like small lightweight easy to cook
How do you sterilize them? Or is that even necessary?
@@lauraingeorgia5052 yes, you can. Wash & rinse them out with hot soapy water as normal. Then fill up a sink with cold water & a capful of bleach or peroxide. Put the bottles in the water with lids off (& with the lids in the sink too) for about 10 minutes. I usually go back around 5 minutes to move the bottles around & make sure that all the bleach water gets everywhere. Don’t rinse. Put them in a strainer upside down or on a towel laying on its side to dry for about a week. Once it’s all dry, then use.
Good morning and thank you AP. I love the parchment paper idea in addition to the original packaging. Stay safe everyone and keep preppin till you're pooped.
Also works well to place the pasta into a brown paper lunch bag and then seal in saver bags. The lunch bag protects not only the saver bag from punctures, but also the pasta from being crushed by the vacuum.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Couple of ideas/suggestions from the perspective of a nurse...who has to fight infection all the time.
1) It would be good to sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. 200° in the oven for 10 minutes won't really kill much bacteria. Then, once sterilized, don't touch the tops of the jars or the lids on the inside at all. If you do, re-sterilize the jar. Removing the oxygen kills aerobic bacteria, but not anaerobic bacteria. Some microbes only grow where there's no oxygen. Another reason to keep jars and lids sterilized.
2) Don't freeze foods first. That generates water inside the container. Water fosters bacteria growth. No need to introduce that risk.
Love your double seal. Love your use of parchment paper. Thanks for teaching me those 2 points. I appreciate you and what you do. Keep it up!
Sounds like great advice but when u boil it to cook it won't it kill the bacteria?
Sounds like great advice but when u boil it to cook it won't it kill the bacteria?
I have seen several reputable canners who do not use oxygen packs because they have no oxygen after the vacuum seal???
@@sharriceowens913 If you touch the lids again, that introduces more bacteria.
@@patricianewman1034 I wouldn't use an oxygen pack with canned foods or with vacuum sealed foods.
Clearance items are really helpful in stockpiling!! Always a surprise but staying flexible helps
We get 10+ years (probably longer but it's always consumed before then) in just the original packaging. Pasta's pretty much a ForeverFood™.
You don't need to cut the top off the bag--just snip a small opening in it and then proceed with your food saver bag method. You can fold the top of the pasta bag if it interferes with the sealing area of the food saver bag. I've never used the parchment but that would make the food more secure. Great idea! Thanks.
New to your channel, but I usually watch on tv, and can't make any comments there. I really like to watch all that you do. You make it look so easy. Thank you. God Bless you and yours.
I bought a foodsaver a few months ago and I love it! I look for things to vaccum seal now so I can use it! The parchment paper is a great tip! Thanks! God bless you and your family Alaska Prepper!
When I open those block cheeses, l vacuum seal as I use. My cheese never molds where I have to toss out. I live alone, so eating a block of cheese takes awhile. I’m thrilled now!!
Have you made boil in bag meals? Put some leftovers in one, seal it (I do 2 seals) and simmer gently till warm. Try chili.
Great information as always. I'm getting ready to do my pasta, so this was very timely. Thank you for all the help and information you give us. God bless
I use those bags to store pasta.i haven't a ruined bag YET! Thanks for the tip about the parchment paper.will do this the next time.
Thankyou for advising folks about freezing and then allowing the product to cone back to room temperature. I've seen a lot of prepping videos that omit this step.
Great video AP ( of course that shouldn’t surprise me. Lol)
I discovered that my pasta that I had put in Mylar bags hadn’t stored well due to puncture from the pasta. I will try this again with the original package or as someone on this forum suggested a paper bag to avoid compromising Mylar or seal a meal bags.
Love how everyone helps each other on this channel 😁
Have a wonderful week my friends
Aloha 🌴🤙🏽🌋
I d watched maybe 10-15 videos of preppers that do this and the lsitakes they’ve made etc and come to conclusion that it’s best to store pasta on mason jars (not spaghetti but the other pastas macaroni pene etc) I use mylar bag for the spaghetti I double vacuum seal I put in one bag and into a second bag so there’s no puncture … pasta provides alot of food so you don’t need bunches and bunches 1 64oz jar of elbows has lasted me literally 3 months so I have 6 of each stores away for long term storage .. what works for some May not work for others
Food Saver's own instructions state to place bag with the "embossed side down".
I love your videos. They are very informative.
I have done it this way after watching you and had great success. Thank you for the help. Stay safe and God bless
Great job. Explanations were clear and concise. Good audio and camera work. Very helpful and worthwhile. Subscribed.
I had to watch this again because Walmart finally got these back in stock! 🎉 Thanks, AP!
👋 Hello A.P. and family Scott down below took the words oit of my mouth. I agree. Very educational. I don't have or never used a vacuum sealer in my life. So thank you for the class. I Appriciate you showing me how the machine works and how to use it. Thanks have a blessed day friends.
Thank you for how you explain everything including why you do it. It helps to understand why we need to do things. 👍
I use a Food Saver also. I put a small hole in the bag with a ice pick or knife point. Have sealed Raman noodles, and other noodles. No punctures. Can hear noodles crunching when drawing out air. Have several sealable totes also . Great Vid. Sending it to daughter.
Great idea with the parchment paper thanks. Ive had pasta break the seal recently when I checked my pasta...
I opened some pasta that has been jar sealed over 8 years.. was just fine.. air sealed in a wide mouth jar..... reg elbow mac 1 pound in a qt jar.. but like twisted or bow ties.. are 12 oz per qt.. 3 one pound boxes will fill 4 Qt jars.. also just a dime size amount less then of 2 lbs of pot size spaghetti will fit in a qt size wide mouth jar..
EXCELLENT. Thank you for this thorough explanation on using the food vacuum sealer~
That’s a great idea because you keep the cooking instructions from the original bag.
When we use ours we use brown paper lunch bags like for the kids school lunches works good also.
Do you think I could use the white paper lunch bags? I have some left from when my kids packed school lunches.
Great video AP ! I WATCH , THUMBS UP , AND Learn from every video !
Very good tips. I enjoyed watching your canning methods. I will be buying food saver vacuum sealer. I'm a survival food prepper and your "show & tell" presentation is an informative addition to the many survival skills I'm learning. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing the vacuum bag part great tip 🥰🙏
You can also use a hand brake bleeder from Harbor Freight in a pinch with the jar sealers. 👍
That's what I do. No electricity needed.
I do this with pasta and dried beans, rice, all dehydrated items etc. ♥ALWAYS BE BLESSED♥
This was exceptional. I hated using my canning jars for pasta! As you say, it is not really coast effective and your solution is a relief! Thanks ! I have lots of food saver bags!
Saw this episode today. Been watching other videos. I got a newer food Saver that wouldn't work right out of the box. So my sister loaned me her older one without the instructions. Your machine is the same as hers. Watching helped figure out to use hers. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I found 8 boxes of penne at WM that had the tops of the boxes crushed, selling for $0.62. Have them in bags already. I do seal mine the second time. Does not cost a thing but 15 seconds.
You found a good deal, it seems like everything's going up on price lately.
Use a collapsable wide mouth funnel to pour dry goods into jars.
I never thought of double sealing the bags before... great idea!!! I will start doing that with all my vacuum sealing!!! Blessings!
I just found your videos today. I'm new at all this. I'm learning alot. Thank you 😊
Thanks AP! Someday I may get a vacuum sealer but for now, next purchase will be a brake bleeder and the mason jar attachments. I have tons of jars so..makes sense. Plus you actually can re-use lids when using on dry goods. So..financially speaking its a good start plus a great back up if no electricity. Have a great night! .
Do you use oxygen absorption packs also?
We also bought a brake bleeder, but we are older and it kills our hands pumping it up to seal the jars. But it comes in really handy when I'm too lazy to dig out the vacuum food saver machine. We don't have very much counter space or storage space to keep things laying around on our counters, wish we had a bigger kitchen
@@nancytabor8302 I use the little pkgs to keep the air dry inside the jar. They also seem to vacuum seal shut faster too. Hope this helps you. Carol
I was wondering if the lids could be reused. Thanks so much!!
@@missysunshine2660 the lids used in canning whether water bath or pressure canning can be re-used for dry goods if in good condition. So just take careful care when taking them off so they arn't warped etc.
I just did 4 1 lb. boxes I bought a few weeks ago with the food saver bags. I also have the jar attachments that vacuum seal jars. I did a bag of jasmine rice in half gallon jars, that had a few weevils and all the weevils died when I sucked all the air out. HAHA
I’ve had the canisters forever but didn’t know how to use them. Now I do. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
That bowl you have next to the board with the lid on rocks!!! I have six of them and they hold exactly enough food for a reheat lunch or a desert. Love them!!
Totally unnecessary to freeze pasta/grains when oxygen absorbers are involved. The critters can’t live without oxygen.
Also bay leaves help.💜🙏
Yea, but nice to do.
@Anon Person That vaccine might kill you, 'specially if Bill Gates had anything to do with it......LOl.
@@winfieldjohnson125 too funny
Winfield Johnson So true.
Thanks AP. I like the idea of the parchment paper. I'll have to do that next time I vac seal pasta. I do however cut the bag top before sealing it. An extra layer of security is always good. Much Love
Do you need to cut the original top of bag before vacuum sealing?
Yes. It helps get all the air out.
Thank you so much. I have been looking for this information. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
So many of us new to this. Even though it was done 3 years ago this is so helpful.
Curly egg noodles seemed to seal well in a food saver bag, but in a few days the vacuum was gone. The edges of the noodles apparently made pinholes.
Hello Kim, Egg Noodles are not good for long term storage as they are made with egg yolk and go rancid very quickly after their best by date. In my experience at least. God bless...
Egg noodles stored in jars with either O2 absorbers or just a vacuum seal will extend the life of them - The best by date can be extended perhaps 6-8 months.
Thank you for this information. I'm new to prepping & just bought a food saver. I was worried that I wasted my money since I'm usually afraid to use new things.
Start small, reseal chip bags, etc. to get started
I love my FoodSaver. Use it all the time. Just froze a pound of jalapenos on a tray and then vacuum sealed them in small pint sized bags that I found on Amazon (EZVac is the brand). There are just two of us in our household so when I cook I freeze a lot of leftovers. Often I'll put the refrigerated leftovers right into a vacuum bag, roll the top closed and I'll secure it with some clothes pins or chip clips. Once they're frozen rock solid then I vacuum seal them so I don't have to worry about moisture getting into the gasket of the machine. The most important lesson for the FoodSaver is to freeze in the quantity or batch size that you think you will use. For example, when I buy Italian sausage links I wrap each link in wax paper or parchment paper before I put it into a FoodSaver bag. That way I can open the bag, pull out as many as I need, and they're not all frozen together in one solid block. I can easily reseal the bag. I also vacuum seal dry goods like beans in Mason jars. It requires a separate attachment, but I purchased mine in a bundle years ago and it came with my machine.
@@karenkyle8618 love you can reseal chips, and everything else👍
visit your thrift stores as I find the food saver bags cheap.
Thank you for the detailed demonstration. You are a good teacher.😊
Love these videos. Will be doing this tomorrow.💛
That is a very nice Food Saver, AP. The parchment paper protection sleeve is a very good suggestion. Thank you for sharing that. :-D
I buy only thin spaghetti noodles for long term storage. Because:
1) thin cooks faster
2) easy to cut one end of the package and vacuum seal 6 pkgs that makes one neat, flat (heavy) pkg.
3) I stack the pkgs, so they take up minimum space
4) pasta is too labor intensive to make
5) it WAS cheap...$1 a regular pkg.
It's now jumped to $1.89 in two wks!
🇨🇱🇺🇸✝️🙏❤️
Oh, thank you so much for telling us how to store spaghetti noodles. I've been storing them in 64 oz. Jars and it's a pain on the butt trying to jam the spaghetti noodles in a jar. So now I'm going to storing them the way you instructed. Thank you so very very much!!!! 😃 You made my life a little easier
@cc ccclark could you kindly give a more detailed explanation of how you sealed the spaghetti noodles. Mine come in a card board box which cannot be sealed or are you saying you put 6 card board boxes they come into a plastic bag that can be vacuum sealed? Thank you!
I just found your video. I’m new to prepping and I love both of your ideas!! Blessings from Texas!
I just stored some pasta in jars, it's nice to know if I need those jars for something else, I can switch the pasta over to sealer bags in the manner that you presented. Great video! Thank you!
When pouring into a jar, use a canning funnel.
I like the vacuum seal don't have to compromise a large bucket when using.
You will still need to put the bags of pasta in a large bucket or tin, or something when done. Leaving them on the shelf in bags, rodents can still get to them. Even some bugs can bore through them. This is just another way to do it without using the mylar bags. Although, plastic can, over time let small amounts of air inside, but mylar doesn't.
I use sealed bags for freezer kept foods, glass vacuum sealed for dry goods and can the rest. Of late, been taking meat out of the freezer and prepping soups, stews etc in canning. Fresh garden items as much as I can do the same for over abundance.
Thank you for sharing Rudy 👍🎚🙏
Great video AP!! I love the idea of parchment paper, I'm one of those old fashioned people who uses the brown sandwich bags and cuts them to size for my bags... I'm definitely going to try the parchment! ♡♡♡ God bless you.
Hi AP,
Great video!! Since I started prepping few weeks ago, this video helps me with cost of Mason Jars. I have a Food Saver unopened box for 3-4 yrs lol. Now I have an excuse to use my food saver and the bags included. I'm not sure if the attachments are included, I hope it is. I have parchment paper and it's great to have another layer with the food saver bags. This is not hard to do. I cannot wait to start working on this with my pastas. I probably will need to buy more bags. Can I store the vacuum seal bags in a storage container? I feel totes are not as strong as the buckets. Totes can be eaten by the mice, that's what I heard. God bless you and your family. Be safe and stay healthy! Thank you!🙏🏻😊
Kind regards,
Nancy
Oh man I am still trying to catch up with all your videos every chance I get I watch a video😜 lol but am learning learning learning and that's all that matters ty so much idk why I had never heard of you b4 but am glad I found you now. Blessings
Me too! I'm learning so much!
What a brilliant idea with he parchment paper!! Tysm 💗
Excellent video! You are a fantastic teacher, thank you for the info!
The best Mylar for long term food storage is the 7 mil. It doesn’t puncture as easily.
oven canning. U can reuse the same jars bought from the store like sauce, pickle, etc., for grains and legumes.
Do you can in the oven with the food inside the jar already? I’ve had so much trouble getting the labels off the jars, I‘be given up trying. That’s with lots of Goo Gone and soaking overnight! Eventually the paper will come off but the adhesive holding it on is just impossible! I’ve sterilized the jars (empty) even with the labels on and the others with the sticky residue at 200 degrees for 15 minutes and they were fine. Do you put the jars with food in them and at what temperature and how long?
@@mauryhill9703 I too had a problem getting the adhesive off jars. I used fingernail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, razor blade and I even boiled the jars still didn't work and I did not want to use WD-40 which I had seen on an old UA-cam video 😫 I saw something online a couple of months ago about using baking soda and cooking oil. Just use enough baking soda and oil to make a paste. Put paste on the area of the adhesive and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour (sometimes longer) When time is up use a scour pad, or scrubbing pad or scrub brush to scrub the area, then rinse area with warm or hot soapy water until clean. If there is still a small amount of adhesive left on the jar, just repeat the process. Don't use too much oil or it will slide down the jars. It works like a charm for me every time 😊
D Ferrell NO WAY!! You rock. Thanks for sharing.
@@mauryhill9703 no worries 😊
Great tip. Buy glass instead of plastic!
Thank you. Just stumbled across your channel and have now watched a few videos. Informative and down to earth. Thank you!!
If you want to save your jars for canning you can use vacuum seal bags. Macaroni I don't have a problem with. Spaghetti and some other pastas have sharp edges that can put small holes in your bags. You can cut an old cereal box or any thin cardboard box. Cut it to fit anything you want to vacuum seal that has sharp edges. Wrap the cardboard around your spaghetti. Sometimes I double a small paper bag and put pasta in there first. If you play around you will find what works.
If I didn't use other methods, I would have no canning jars left lol.
I love watching your videos. God bless!
That food saver is a newer model than the one I use 😁 just goes to show you that quality equipment taken care of will last. Going to try your method thanks for sharing
Wow, yours must be old, mine is almost 10 years old. How old is yours??
APi have that same food saver. We had it for 8 + years.
Thank you for this video. This was very helpful in keeping pasta for longer periods. .
