There's something Ive always wondered that I'm hoping someone can answer. I've got plenty of food stored in mylar with oxygen absorbers. I don't use buckets. When sealing the food, sometimes the bags "suck up" completely as though I'd used a vacuum sealer. Sometimes they don't, and there's still...

So lets say I am going to fill up my dehydrator with some veggies and when they are done I place them in a zip-loc bag, after squeezing out all of the air. So this method gives me a year or so of storage time? What if I was to place multiple zip-loc bags inside of a Mylar bag with an Oxygen...

Hi friends, Am thinking of portioning white rice, dried beans, rolled oats, etc. into two-person servings and using my vacumn sealer to remove all the air and seal them up tightly. Was then going to place them into HDPE2-compliant containers (i.e. 5-gal. pails with Ropak lids) and use some of...

I have a question. I am storing rice and grains for the first time with mylar bags. I am buying the big 50 pounds bag of rice and beans. Do I need to do something to the food first like freeze it to kill them wevils or will the lack of oxygen once sealed from the oxygren absorbers do their job...

I have been checking into the mylar bags for beans, oatmeal, flour and such. But, I presently vacuum seal a lot of stuff. I understand about the o2 absorbers, but how does that compare to no air or o2 at all?
