Curtis have you done any Mylar packing? If so did you vacuum or just throw in the O2 absorbents? Can you overkill on absorbents? Do absorbents create a vacuum - some places seem to say they do.


Yes. I pack all my food in 1 gallon Mylar bags. I use O2 absorbers in them. You CAN overkill though it'd be difficult. If you put too much absorbent in there, it will pull too hard of a vacuum, and the Mylar will tear.

I use exactly what the tutorials say to use.
I buy my stuff from Frugal Squirrels.

I personally use a bigass cutting board set I have, and I stack them up to work the best for me. I get EVERYTHING portioned out into bags, THEN get the iron heated up, and everything ready to go. THEN I open up the O2 absorbers, and plop them into the bags... shuffle them down into the product, and seal 90% of the seam... Then after it cools down enough to touch my lips to, pull a vacuum on it as best I can, and then totally seal it.
