    Nope. It is time to do up a batch and the 02 absorbers come in packs of 50. I have plenty of #10 can size bags but will only use 20 or less absorbers.

    Once you open the absorbers you want to use all of then as quickly as possible. I have sealed unused ones in a canning jar but prefer to use them up.

    It is like 75-90 cents for a bag and absorber. I offer them up and the use of my heat sealer. You bring your stuff you want to put up and we fill bags. then drop all the absorbers and seal. I use one 300cc absorber per bag. Don't dis my tupperware....

    Ive been looking at some dried veggies- Where do you get your peas, potatoes? Ive even found dried out tomatoes online, but I hear it can be sketchy doing long term storage with veggies. Anyone do veggies for 5 years or more and tried them? Do you have to burp your tup after you open?

    I put anything that is going to be used down the road in Mylar. We do use many of the items on a daily basis. I just opened some bacon bits (TVP) and some gravy that I put up 6 years ago. I add to the storage every year and then we pull the oldest and put it into tupperware for the short term.

    Here in CO moisture (or lack thereof) keeps the dehydrated stuff in good shape. we store the daily stuff in Tupperware. I know it is not cheap but it is a one time cost since it has a lifetime guarantee. And my mom was a manager for 20 years so all of mine was free.

    The only place I have seen anything other than tomato powder is grandmas foods. http://www.grandmascountryfoods.com/...ProductId=1162

    How good is mylar what is the longest item you can keep in mylar? Like grain or rice for example? Do you have to do something special to the white rice from the store to make it keep?
