Can a small cordless vacuum sealer pull a real vacuum on a half gallon mason jar? In this quick demo I put an electric mason jar vacuum sealer to work on a 1/2 gallon wide mouth jar to see if it can lock in freshness for long term dry goods storage.
Mason jar vacuum sealing is one of the simplest ways to keep pantry staples fresh longer. When you remove the air, you slow down oxidation, keep moisture out, and help keep foods like rice, beans, oats, flour, coffee, nuts, dehydrated vegetables, and freeze dried foods from going stale. A half gallon jar is great for bulk storage, so it’s a good test of whether a compact handheld sealer can keep up.
This electric jar sealer runs on a rechargeable battery, so there are no hoses, no bulky countertop vacuum sealer, and no hand pump. Set the lid on the jar, place the sealer on top, press the button, and let it pull the air out. It works with both wide mouth and regular mouth mason jars, which makes it a handy tool for prepper food storage, emergency food storage, pantry organization, and anyone who buys in bulk.
Important note: vacuum sealing is for keeping dry goods fresh. It is not a replacement for proper water bath or pressure canning, and it will not make perishable food safe to store at room temperature.
If you’re building out your preparedness pantry or just want your snacks to stay crunchy longer, this is an easy upgrade.
