    Do you use Oxygen absorbers?

    Is there a size guide to follow? Best place to purchase USA made? I have used them before but always just gambled on putting on in the bag of dehydrated peppers or tomatoes etc. Never used them on a vaccumed canning jar before.

    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    Yes but they tend to be more that you need for packaging, and my name is not Mike K.

    Do not forget to get a pack of O2 indicator tablets. That will ensure your seal was solid when you dig into the food later on.

    But I am no expert. I only know what we have done that works.
