Katz25 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Can someone please tell me if I make some of the meal in a jar recipes with freeze dried or dehydrated whatever they are and then vacuum seal with no oxygen absorber how long a shelf life they have? Also can you make a meal in a jar and put a oxygen absorber in with it and just put a ring and lid on and it will seal and not have to be vacuum sealedn and what is the shelf life?? Someone told me you can and I don't know. I guess it would pull all the oxygen out of the jar by screwing the lid on tight, IDK. Just don't want to waste products or risk them spoiling.

Cat Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't have any experience in this one. But I did a search and it looks like there's lots of info out there. But I have no idea which might answer your question. Here's the link to my "Dogpile" search - https://www.google.com/search?q=vacuum+sealed+jar+shelf+life&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=nts ("Dogpile" searches multiple search engines, including Google, so I like to use it instead of JUST Google.)

WormGuy Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I have vacuumed sealed jars with dry product that was still good 8 years later. None of them had oxygen absorbers in them. I would want an oxygen absorber in the jar if I were making meals in a jar. John Quote Link to comment
