Just to prove to my crew that vacuum sealing preserves crackers and cookies, I opened a few jar that I vacuum sealed in 2014-2016. The Oreos were as crunchy as the day I sealed them and the crackers and cereal tasted perfect. So they were approx 6-8 years sealed.

@melmelbry5754 5 месяцев назад

Oreos work?! I thought "wet"ish stuff that that couldn't be done. Like things with icing etc

@stormgirl4881 4 месяца назад

Wow I've had that question as to how long and if that would work thank you for posting that! I am curious since you posted things like that and cookies have you tried other things? I was wondering about different types of candies, packets of instant oatmeal Etc

Happy to report that my saltines serviced five (5) years! Opened them up and they was fresh and crispy as when I bought them. I would suggest smaller jar unless you can eat them right away.

Cereal and crackers in the plastic wax bags will last about 6mo past best buy date if stored properly. The mylar type is about a year past best buy date. This has been my experience anyway.

We mostly vac bag our cereals, leaving the cereal in its original bag, but with a tiny hole punched in using a bulletin board push pin, putting the factory bag into the larger factory made (or roll style cut to length) vac bag and cut out the front of the cereal box, placing that in with the cereal bag so we can instantly tell what type of cereal is in the bag & when dated. We don't vac pack any cereal with nuts of any kind or dried fruits (raisins, blueberries, strawberries, etc) because the oils in the nuts probably go rancid even in a vacuum & similar for the dried fruits.

@RainCountryHomestead Год назад

I vacuum seal nuts of all kinds, I am not afraid of the fats. Vacuum sealing high fat foods prevents rancidity. I have been doing this for quite a number of years now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AV-cIcmmhd4.html Remember that you can buy nuts vacuum sealed into jars and cans from the store.

Maybe it is because we live in the deep south but, I vacuum sealed store brands of cereal about 19 months ago and it went rancid. We kept at 76 degrees and didn't store any with nuts . I really think it because of the oils

@RainCountryHomestead 3 года назад

I would say 76° is too warm for storing any kind of fat. Our pantry stays much cooler than that. I store nuts in jars plus many fats without issue of rancidity

Another classic video Heidi Thank you Now question time. We have a second kitchen in our basement. We run two dehumidifiers during the summertime but I am wondering should we still store our full caning jars upstairs?

@RainCountryHomestead 3 года назад

Basement is likely better as it typically stays cooler. If the jars are all vacuum sealed, humidity will be less of a problem than light and heat

If you keep filters clean, you can use this water for drinking in an emergency. Easy way to store water. Keep lots of filters❣

Hi Heidi, could you use recycled jars and seal with the vacuum chamber? Thanks for the great tips.

@RainCountryHomestead 3 года назад

Yes, I do it all the time, please see this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LPZfZYDyWY.html

Great, I know the larger jars are more suitable for this type of storage, Im running low on them. I have put pecan and walnuts away using the this method. Thanks again, great video to cover x

That was interesting although we don't get those jars and lids over here. While watching I was wondering how big your pantry must be and for what kind of period you think you have to live from your pantry goods. We have a storage ourself but whenever I take something out of it I buy in time to restore my amount. And I would never store crackers in a jar because normally the package in which they are sold are truely dense so one can store those goods for many years (as long as the packages are undamaged of course). But nevertheless it's interesting to listen to your experiences cause they help to think about a besser storage for food.

@RainCountryHomestead 2 года назад

I have several different areas around the home and also offsite where we store food. I believe we have enough for three years right now. Most crackers come in packages that do not keep the crackers fresh, at least from our experience

Can do you a video on storing grains and oats long term? I have had issue with bug infestations in mine and it is so frustrating to not understand what I am doing wrong.

@RainCountryHomestead 3 года назад

I have several videos on storing grains. Most will use mylar with oxygen absorbers. However, as long as you have a well sealed mylar bag inside a bucket (make sure you push out all the air you can before sealing) you should not have a problem

For people in areas with high humidity the canning lids can rust very fast. I've started brushing the tops of the lids with rustoleum. I'm careful not to get any where it would come in contact with the food. I'm hoping to multiple uses of the lids this way when dry canning.

@chrishamill3170 3 года назад

In the south also…no problem with lids rusting. Maybe you store things that are kept in high humidity areas.

@theIAMofME 3 года назад

I'm in the south too. I have never had a lid to rust. However, the bands do. After they are washed in hot soapy water, I dry them very well. Then dampen a paper towel with oil (olive, or whatever) and wipe them down well with it. Mine don't rust anymore. Even if they did, rings/bands have babies. LOL LIDS are scarce. So maybe try oil instead of a harsh chemical.

@pennyesenwein2068 2 года назад

Hi Heidi. I see the large jars you have used for cereal and crackers and such. I’m wanting to know where you got them.

@RainCountryHomestead 2 года назад

Some I bought at our local store, some were found at garage sales

Very informative video, thank you! May i ask, is there a particular purpose to those figures you have twirling/floating through your videos from time to time, like the rooster?

@RainCountryHomestead 3 года назад

All just for fun and to add an extra something to the videos. Here is the video I did on why I started with the rooster, then the theme related things came along later: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wTe_vvIyPh4.html
