If you don't have a food saver, I don't know why you are here. Love love love the chicken hat and I am amazed at your ability to think ou5side the box! Love your video!
The part you are salving is called a degassing valve which is available online for those who don't have coffee bags. I'm hoping you get around attempting to do this on a glass based container that use the same kind of lid. Also to keep in mind it would be a good idea to use food grade bonding agent rather than a random bonding agent that likely isn't meant to near food.
Scott Kyba, if you can’t find a food grade glue, maybe you could just lay a piece of parchment paper or wax paper over your food before putting the lid on, to serve as a barrier to the toxic glue that may contaminate the food.
Hello Scott Kyba. PatsOnThePulse here, checking in, from (maybe) half-way through a friday night youtube deep dive right now.. It began with a simple question: "how to smoke my own cheese"... So, at this point I have a pretty good understanding of the physics involved [fluid mechanics, convective forces, particle sizes,etc.], I have several schematics for cold-smoke generator devices to build, ideas for various fuel/smoke sources.. I know how to prepare the cheese [freeze it for better results].. But Then, I made it to the question of "how to store my smoked cheese??".. And apparently you need a vacuum sealer for that. Well, sir, thanks to you, I'll be off to my next step in this journey, wherever it takes me. Thank you very much for helping a stranger along in their quest. I do believe this is the best of what RUclips is meant to be.
I was just thinking of making my Borosilicate air tight glass containers into vacuum sealed and was looking at one way valves when I came across the degassing valves in a pack of 100 for like $14. It's pretty cool to see someone's already done it with recycled ones no less and that it worked out that well. Here's to hoping I don't waste my glass containers. I also didn't even take a second thought about your hat till you said something about it lol.
"THANKS, MOM AND DAD", said the man in the chicken hat. I assume that is a Rooster, not a Hen, so you are not an egghead. But all yolks aside, thanks for the informative video. Everyone needs a cool cheap solution to their dilemma.
And when Scott's mother took him to emergency after he inhaled a little brown object the doctor gave her a lecture about leaving small object around the place with curious children about. After reading a comment about how you can buy degassing seals which are virtually the same as those coffee bag valves, I found some on ebay. There isn't any information about fitting them, but looking at an image that came nearest to a side view, it looks like the valves maight be two-part so they snap together sandwiching the lid - or bag, if you were to use them for the main intended purpose. That would make sense if you were to use them as an afterthought. The coffee bags are manufactured en mass and it would be more efficient/cheaper to use a simpler glue-on valve. If it is the case that the separate valves are two-part, they may not need any glue, but make sure the surface is smooth and flat. It would, of course, limit the thickness of the container material. Definitely worth exploring. You could also add them to mason and twist-top jar lids. The little brown thing is probably just an edge retained flap that lifts up on the pump pull, but gets sucked down as the vacuum is formed. That is in principle of how the Pump-n-seal valves, or "check tabs" as they call them, work. Really simple valve.
Cool. Put a piece of wood inside while drilling. Then if you go through the lid to below, the bit won't damage the bottom, the countertop, or marriage. Keep a bottle of (nail polish remover) acetone "handy" for when you glue your hands.
Very creative DIY! You are so funny! I laughed at all of your jokes and funny antics and bloopers. RUclips videos don't have to be flawless and perfect. We're all human and we all goof up on things or words etc. Your video is very natural. So fun to watch. Lock & Lock containers are great to begin with. I really want to try this trick. I will save the seal from my coffee bag and give this a try soon. I think this would be great for my sliced cheese which I think a container will make it easier to reach for a piece of cheese for a sandwich than trying to reach into a bag and carefully peel one slice and hope I don't break it. I love my Sargento cheese and they like to stick together and not all have the pieces of paper inbetween each slice. I have been using the handheld vacuum sealer for many years and I have been wanting a countertop model, but didn't think I really needed it. I believe I do now. My battery barely vacuums one bag now. It dies on the 2nd bag. Time to recycle it. I am like you. I am cheap, but I'm happy with that. One friend tells me I'm not cheap, I'm frugal. It makes sense, but I still say cheap. I get a big thrill on saving money or time etc. Thanks for sharing this video and for taking the time to make this. PS: I love your chicken hat. Priceless.
This is way more than you need to do to accomplish your goal, just poke a 1/16th inch hole centered on the middle of the lid and cut a piece of electrical tape long enough to put a short fold on one end, and then have the tape straddle it just shy of the hole, then get yourself a 2 1/2"sink stopper with a 1 3/8ths bottom insert (99 Cent Store) and put a hole big enough to insert the Food Saver hose fitting into the top of it. Place the sink stopper over the hole covering all of the electrical tape that is sticking up a little just shy of covering the hole and vacuum the air out until you get to about fully vacuumed on the vacuum setting, slide the sink stopper over the tape and it will seal it just fine. You will now have a small fold on the tape to just pull up on the tape to release the air when ready to eat, super easy and it works great! I use a glass version of the bowl with a plastic lid, this is a little more sanitary. The lid does compress a little into the bowl when fully vacuumed.
If you drill thin plastic try drilling in reverse. Then the drill won't bind but burn thrue. Use silicon that is good for fisk tanks for sealing the valve. Fish are very sensitive.
Depending on what you are vacuum sealing, you can also use the entire coffee bag. Just seal the bag shut either with heat, your vacuum sealer should work, or use a little glue, and then suck the air out through the valve.
so do you usually put food in it then glue it shut then wait for the glue to dry then vacuum seal it from the seal hole and then cut it open later to get the food out and then repeat to reuse with the smaller sized bag until the cuts get down to the seal hole?
@@ocrun6765 well, I have never done it with food, but I guess you could. And yes, I put whatever I am using inside and glue it shut. Then I use the valve to suck the air out. After that I put a piece of tape over the valve just to make sure it doesn't leak.
I watched the whole video. Very entertaining and informative. I smiled throughout and downright laughed at the end. Where did you purchase the hat? I’ve must get one. Happy holidays.
Pay attention Foodsaver. I have at least a dozen VERY EXPENSIVE Foodsaver containers (over $25. each) that will not hold a seal. This guy can make one for less the $3. Go figure. I love my Foodsaver but the Foodsaver, as a company, leaves a lot to be desired.
Great idea. Enjoyed your video. You left no Amazon links to the products you used in the video or model numbers for review. What FoodSaver model do you use? Attachments? I have spent many hours researching machines unable to choose one from hundreds of them.
Dude, put a piece of plywood that is slightly smaller than your lid on your counter. Place your lid on top and drill away. Far more safe for your fingers and your counter will be 100% protected. You’re welcome. 😉😆🤟🏼
This is a great idea. Love your frugalness (yes, I know frugalness is not a word and I should have used frugality, but I thought it was important to stick with the theme of "anyways" - LOL) "The cheapest man in the world" - bahahaha!!! I think your dad probably still holds that title. Don't be trying to steal his crown before he hands it over - LOL Yes, of course you're not going to talk through the drilling process. Men don't multi-task because we prefer to do one thing at a time competently, which would normally include using the correct size drill bit (but I digress), as opposed to doing 5 things half-assed - LOL I can see where this project has the potential to provide a fella with a lot of explaining to his wife on why there are so many damaged areas in her kitchen - hahaha! And speaking of kitchen's . . . did you film this at Ed's? - hahahaha!!! I thought for sure that little brown diaphragm was going to get sucked out by the foodsaver machine, but nope . . . IT WORKED!!! "Anyways", very entertaining video. I loved it! "Anyway", keep'em comin'!
You know I was thinking about doing something similar to this a little while back. Thanks for the video because it gives me a better idea of what I want to do. Can you tell me how do the valves handle against liquids inside the container?
I wonder if there is a source for a nipple bung that can be used instead of this coffee bag kind. I think the clamping container is superior and the whole system would be equally as convenient if it had the nipple hole bung so the user doesn't have to stand there and hold it pressed against the container.
Thanks for the great video! Also enjoyed you being a bit silly (after I got past the hat) and your humor. Anyways, you made me laugh out loud and I subscribed. And may God bless you also! Can anyone please supply a link to where we can purchase these valves? Especially if anyone finds a link to the valves that have the little nipple for the FoodSaver hose.
Wow not bad at all, you should have been a comedian ( I mean that in a nice way ) Great idea, great video, but I must say that when you was drilling, I was waiting for the drill to go though the worktop, and then the glue and paper sticking to your fingers, and when the water spilled when you tilted the container, all this with that hat on your head.... honestly I have not enjoyed a video so much on RUclips. Thank you very much for making this video
Hey Scott, I don't drink much coffee, so do u think I could use the one-way valves (that can be bought off eBay, Amazon, etc.) used for making easy-to-breathe home-made masks?

You wouldn't need to use the lighter is you used a properly sized drill bit. And even if you needed 1 or 2mm more, you would want to go with sandpaper rather than a lighter...
I have NEVER laughed that much at an instructional video. Thanks for the ideas and all of the laughs. You're a natural showman. Don't change a thing.

Hopefully it’s not a Capon either. Sorry, bad yoke.
Anyway... lol loved the video, you are funny and while i was learning i was laughing.
Reverse your drill. It will still cut the hole and cut it cleaner. Plus it's much easier to control.
Yes. I learned that recently
Reverse? You mean come from the understated, or use reverse "button" once it's in, or use it in reverse, but press really hard?
@@scraperfect Reverse the direction of the bit. Doesn't take any more effort but doesn't grip and tear.
Cool to know!

Aaaah maaan I was looking and looking for a cheap valve to do this... I never thought of using that one, dang.
What is the dark circle on the bottom of the container?
instead of using knife you can lift that brown thing to let the air in.
Interesting and very frugal Scott, "anyways" when is the blooper reel coming out?
Andy Kendzor you’ll have to wait and see Andy! Thanks so much for the comment.
would use silicone to secure valve. lots of silicone is foodsafe. this way can remove in future to replace valve if it fails.

Same lid fits the glass containers. And brake bleeder works for vacuum (~$20)
Just use some silicon sealant and it should work.
I think he said silicone would not adhere to the plastic lid.

Didn't work for long.
Hey, have you noticed you have a chicken sitting on your head?
Someone needs to save their coffee bag seals and sell them on ebay.
Called grammar “tics”.

This guy scares me to death. He reminds me too much of my husband. Not the chicken hat (my husband is Cajun, it would be a crawfish hat) but
I would end up with about 30 of these and only one would halfway work.
Seems like you got a good guy. :)
Stop talking down to yourself. Noone else noticed.
Hard to take a guy seriously when he has a chicken on his head!
loose the hat it makes you so credible. Perhaps drill the lid only and on a flat surface to support drill bit going thru lid a used 2x4 or junk wood.
I should have known once i saw the chicking hat. How would want to go thru all that for a home made seal container? Sucks big time!
wtf
Nice lid, what are your pronouns?
You wouldn't need to use the lighter is you used a properly sized drill bit. And even if you needed 1 or 2mm more, you would want to go with sandpaper rather than a lighter...
Thanks for the tip.
