    What size oxygen absorber to use in Mason 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.

      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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The 1/2 gallon jars can be a bit spendy but I love looking at them full of dry goods in my pantry! And vacuum sealing is the way to go. I have a break bleeder that I can use if necessary but much prefer the little food saver gizmo like yours.

    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. 😊

    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!❤

    I've been vacuum sealing all my pasta, rice, and legumes in jars since Covid started: My food budget is calculated at 5 weeks' worth every month, so any month that has only 4 Mondays, that fifth one for that month goes to buying dry goods that then get vacuum sealed when I get home. I now have 38 quarts of beans, 6 quarts of lentils (brown pardina and red) and split peas (some of all those I got from Palouse). I'm not sure how many quarts of rice and pasta I have.

    Speaking of pests, mice in particular, don't think those large garbage cans with the wheels and the handle will keep mice out. We needed another bucket with lid to go out in the woods and get sap, so I put 2 large mylar bags of flour into that clean can, intending to do something else with it after we got the sap boiling. Guess who forgot? So....a mouse was in there, white with flour - having eaten into both bags of flour. How do they climb up smooth plastic? If it jumped, it's an Olympic mouse. How do they get under the lid? Again, it was an Olympic weight lifter mouse.....more big bags of flour are on my list. I'm glad that it didn't get into stored grain. This is an area where the cats can't go, and I do have mouse poison in there.
