Canning Jar Sealer Kit

Create a vacuum seal on most regular or wide-mouth canning jar that locks out air - the enemy of freshness. Our Canning Jar Sealer Kit comes with both the regular and wide mouth jar sealer and external vacuum hose. The Regular Mouth Jar Sealer and Wide Mouth Jar Sealer do not include the external vacuum hose. The Canning Jar Sealer fits on standard and wide mouth canning jars and is used in conjunction with vacuum sealers that have a port for an external vacuum hose to keep goods fresh longer. Once the canning lid is vacuumed to the jar, remove the jar sealer and place it on the next jar to use again. Vacuum Jar Sealing is not a substitute for heat canning. This method is to be used for short-term storage only. Canning Jar Sealer Kit must be used with a vacuum sealer that has a canister port. How to Use: Wash your jars and dry completely Fill the jar with the item you wish to store leaving at least 1" head space Make sure the rim of the jar is clean and free of residue Place the proper sized lid over the jar opening Press the proper sized jar sealer down over top of the lid and jar, fully covering the top of the jar Attach your vacuum hose to the port on your vacuum sealer Cover (or insert the hose) over the hole on the top of the jar sealer Use the canister function on your vacuum sealer and vacuum the lid to the jar (follow directions in your vacuum sealer manual). When the vacuum sealer stops vacuuming remove the hose from the top of the jar sealer Carefully remove the jar sealer from the top of the jar The lid should be vacuumed tightly to the top of the jar and should not be easily removed. (optional: use a band to keep the lid securely in place.) To remove the lid, first unscrew the band use the tip of a spoon to pry the lid off the jar to remove the vacuum.
