FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Wide-Mouth Jar Kit with Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose White FCARWJAH-000

As I have got a chamber vacuum sealer, I purchased separately a vacuum pump (which is probably 5 times stronger than the pump in a Foodsafer). Works though perfectly. Big glasses cannot be vacuumed in the chamber - but can be vacuumed with this product. Problem is: that you need the typical 2 piece jar lids!

Ich habe nichts zu meckern. Macht was es soll.

This is a great product for sealing jars, so easy to use and a great way of preserving food. It works on many vacuum sealer machines and comes with its own tube .... if you don't have one with your machine..... great!!

実際は、ホースが欲しくて購入しましたが、ジャーキットに興味がでて、別途で専用蓋を追加購入しました。瓶自体は、１００均で購入していたものと蓋を変更して、真空の保存瓶を簡単にできてよかったです。

I only bought this because in the Q&A for the product somebody said it would work. It doesn't. Not the way it arrives anyway. You have to modify it. I almost returned it but my husband took a look and fiddled with it. Turns out the little piece on the end of the tubing that fits into the port on the vacuum sealer isn't long enough to press down on the ball valve inside the port so the suction never begins on the canister port - it continues vacuuming from the inner portion where you seal the bags. I thought about sending it back but I had jars to seal, I am very impatient and my husband is handy so... he cut off the hard plastic end piece on one side which just left the tube. He forced that onto the inner (bag sealer) suction tube and then it worked like a charm ! Even the regular mouth lids ! Then I couldn't get it off to put away my vacuum sealer lol. Ok so I don't know the right terms for what my hubby bought at the hardware store but basically he bought the next size up in tubing plus a little connector that allows you to push together the different sized tubing. That gave me just a smidge larger diameter at the end. With a lighter to soften the tube up and a little muscle my dear husband worked that tube end onto the inner suction piece, shaped it, let it cool/harden and voila ! It comes off and on very easily now with no chance of my breaking it off. I don't think I should have had to go thru this for almost 30 dollars but the truth is these attachments were made for another brand of food sealer. And I cannot track down the proper ones for the NESCO. On the plus side, since the hard plastic piece we cut off is exactly the same as the piece on the other end (the part that plugs into the attachment once you've seated it on your jar), we now have two or a tube for each attachment - the wide mouth & the regular. I have used this multiple times now and it works beautifully although that credit goes to my honey. But if you have a NESCO brand vacuum sealer and you're handy or have someone who can help you out, by all means, go for it. I'm thrilled to have this jar sealer ! I don't have to mess around with OAs all the time. At least not for jars I'm going to want to get in and out of regularly. And there isn't any guessing when you should stop it, it stops by itself when it's done. It worked out amazingly for some 'soup in a jar' gifts I made. I highly recommend it

I purchased the jar sealer so I could keep longer term storage items in the mason jars, and free up the expensive foodsaver fresh containers I have so they can be used for frequent access foods. There have been some reviews regarding the regular size sealer not working, I experienced the same thing at first, but then figured out how to get it to work every time. First, make sure the sealing lid has no variations, like little bubbles in the seal - this will not work. Second, make sure the lid is clean and the jar rim is clean. Third, once the sealer is in place on the jar, lift it off slightly by a few millimeters so that you see it draw down as the vacuum increases. This was the biggest thing that helped get consistent sealing. Another reviewer suggested heating the lids in hot water first, I haven't tried this yet, but could help if you have less than perfect lids. The wide mouth lids work consistently when the jar sealer is placed firmly on the jar. I would highly recommend this, it is a cost effective way for medium to long term food storage. This does not replace hot water bath canning or pressure canning. It is more for dry goods or keeping refrigerated items fresher longer.
