Vacuum Sealing Jars #
Simple accessories make it easy to vacuum seal jars and canisters.
- Jar Sealers
- Vacuum Canisters
A Jar Sealer is an accessory that attaches to a vacuum sealer using a hose. This allows air to be removed from mason jars, extending shelf-life. In a grid-down situation, jars can also be evacuated using a brake bleeder.
Vacuum Canisters are designed to store dry goods in evacuated containers. You can also use them to vacuum seal jars. To do so, place a jar inside a vacuum canister. Then use your vacuum sealer to pump empty air from the canister. This seals the contents of the enclosed jar. Some people prefer this method because it does not require a jar sealer.
