Instead of using expensive vacuum packing systems for food storage, try out a Foodsaver system. You could use the typical bags, but you can also use mason jars, which are handy if you have delicate items to preserve that would be crushed in a bag. You do need to remember to only use good rubber seals and to test them to make sure the seal is good. This canning method can be used for a wide variety of goods!
Key Takeaways:
- With the FoodSaver canning jar attachment, lids can be reused as long as they aren’t damaged.
- The jar attachment works for fragile items (e.g., herbs) because you don’t have to worry about bag crushing.
- The FoodSaver doesn’t remove all oxygen, so using an oxygen absorber as well is advisable.
“The surprising thing, however, is that at least half of the time, I don’t bother with the bags.”
