I've been sealing longterm storage foods in mylar for quite a while. My question is, when the O2 absorber has lost it's potency, has anyone vacuumed the air out before sealing? I have found I wind up with several O2 absorbers that are past usefulness. I will vacuum out air via straw or with restricted carpet vac (as long as material is not fine material-example: salt, spices, etc...) Anybody have any other ideas, tricks for sealing without O2 absorbers?
Thanks, NVG
