Vacuum sealing jars

[Decaff]

Just bought the regular and wide mouth jar sealers and attachment hose from the States.

Would you be willing to show the costs and make model etc for the one you purchased? Does it come with uk plug fitted etc etc? Many thanks, very interested in your thoughts after using it.

Decaff, sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough.

The jar sealers are just the lids, no machine involved.

Having finally realized that the little bugs we keep getting plagued with actually come from (mainly flour) food we bring home we are heading toward a foodsaver vac sealer for bags and particularly jars PDQ, plus I'm going to do the freeze it for a week trick with everything likely to have the little buggers eggs in first, add to that most other stuff is going to be kept in clip seal boxes because I've read ( not confirmed with a magnifying glass) that they can and do eat through thin plastic packaging like on noodles and speghetti.

This is a problem I should have got on top of years ago, we have always had what to the "normal" people would be excessive food stocks, both a sort of hand me down habit from our parents and a sort of stubborn refusal to plan meals ahead on my part, ( I hate fancying something we haven't got to hand) of course we now call it prepping


A friend of me once asked me "why do you have 60 or more eggs on the shelf in your kitchen" I said it may seem excessive to you but the dogs eat 3 a day and there are 5 people here too - even if we only have them once in a week and some of us have two as they are the cheap ones not the large ones, we can go through more than half of that in one week, I try to stock two weeks worth of everything in case I can't go shopping/forget something/ or the shop has none that week, all this made sense as the friend knew my family has disabled people in it which forces a more prepared approach to life

Changes in life style and food issues with the families health problems has changed what we can or will eat over the years, and slowed the consumption of once popular things, so before you know it, the stuff is miles out of date and full of these little weevil things so I am officially at war with them! Vacuum sealing is going to play a big part in that, and simply saving money by keeping stuff fresher longer, which will reopen doors on things I have been reluctant to buy because of short shelf life.
