Questions about FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit, 9.00 x 6.00 x 4.90 Inches, White
Q:
Do these stay attached to the jsr you seal, or do they create a seal on the standard metal jar lid?
Answer: they create a seal on the standard (and large mouth) jar with the metal lid. See this video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsUl8WJ9ztI
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealer creates a seal using the standard metal mason jar lid.
Answer: They are used to create a seal on jars.
Answer: Have not used mine yet, but here is a demo vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsUl8WJ9ztI
Q:
will this work on the nesco vs-02 food vacuum sealing system?
Answer: This accessories are designed to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing systems. For further assistance with your questions, we would recommend you reach out Nesco customer service. Thank you for your interest in our products!
Answer: Yes, it works perfectly on the nesco vs-02. Fits right into the port on the top. I have done several quart wide mouth jars. It seals tight.
Answer: NO, it does not fit at all. I tried everything.
Q:
Does this create a vacuum within the jar itself, ie extracts the air inside the jar when sealing with a metal lid? Looking to marinate food items.
Answer: FoodSaver Jar Sealers vacuum seal standard Mason-type jar lids onto the jar to lock out air - the enemy of freshness. Not to be used for canning.
Answer: It does create a vacuum seal in the jar. For marinating food items, do a search on Amazon for "Food Saver Marinating Accessory." It's a dish with a vacuum lid for marinating items. As always, when handling items not being stored long-term, be sure to maintain proper refrigeration.
Answer: Yes. It holds the lid in position while the vacuum pump in thr food saver evacuate the air from the jar.
Answer: It does creat a vacuum inside the jar
Answer: Yes, it takes all the air out. They work well with the hand held vacuuum sealer.
Answer: Better to use bag or their containers
Q:
Does this work onn gallon mason jars?
Answer: As far as my experience goes, it all depends on the LID AND RING. If it is a "Regular" Ball lid and ring or a "Wide Mouth" Ball lid or ring it will work regardless of the size jar it is screwed on to. As long as those 2 sized lids & rings are used.....it should seal fine.
Answer: The largest I've used are the 64 oz jars and it works great.
Answer: As long as the lid fits into the cap.
Answer: It did for me.
Q:
When canning you need to sterilize the jar. Do you need to do the same for this process?
Answer: I always start with a sterile jar. I run them through the dishwasher. As always the key is to prevent bacteria growth.
Answer: Yes. The jars need to be sterilized. BUT, they also need to be 100% DRY. Moisture when vacuum packing will spoil product.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I do quite a bit of canning, but would not recommend this method for long term. I use it for keeping things from going stale and marinating.
Q:
How can I reseal a screw on sauce jar that you buy in the store
Answer: Thank you for asking! FoodSaver Jar Sealers can only accommodate Ball & Kerr Mason jars and require a full size FoodSaver to utilize them.
Answer: yes you can. look on you tube to se how. you will need the large food saver canister do do it but it really does work,
Q:
Do these seal jars just as well as pressure cooking does?
Answer: No. Definitely not. Canning things heats them to sterilize the contents of the jar and seal them so no toxins can re-enter. These sealers only seal the jar, not sterilize the contents. The contents would still spoil and very well could become deadly.
Answer: These jar sealers work perfect with mason jars, providing an air tight seal and extending the life of the food up to 5 times longer! Thanks!
Answer: The seal might be as strong as pressure cooking, but Pressure cooking involves heat, which is important for safely canning low-acid foods, so I wouldn't use this for anything like meats, beans, etc.
Q:
Do you have to use the plastic lid or do you still use the metal lid that comes with the mason jar?
Answer: You would use the flat metal lid and the jar sealer on top of the lid to seal the jars. Once the jar is sealed, you will remove the jar sealer.
Answer: I use the metal lid that comes with the jar. After vacuum sealing, I screw on the Metal band. I have been satisfied with the seal, and believe it would last for several seasons. I only use this procedure for dehydrated or freeze-dried foods.
Answer: The metal lid thank comes with the jar
Answer: I use the metal lids that come with the Ball mason jars
Answer: Use mason jar lids. Rings are not necessary.
Answer: Apparently you use the metal lid and band put the plastic suction On the top and attach it to your food saver and vacuum it’s not going to be A permanent seal like he would have if you hit canned but it is good for refrigeration and for non-refrigerated dried foods such as dehydrated or freeze dried foods to extend their shelf life
Answer: Sorry for the delay seals both metal lids both sizes very well!!!
Answer: I only use metal.
Q:
Is this a replacement for boiling???? So,they last for very long time? I'm confused
Answer: No, not a replacement for boiling water canning. I use them for refrigerator pickles to keep them sealed until they are ready, but you still need to refrigerate whatever you use them for.
Answer: Absolutely not. Water bath canning and pressure canning are the only way to preserve food over long periods that are perishable. However vacuum sealing dry goods: like flour, dehydrated pasta, dehydrated veggies, cereal, etc., will help prevent these items from going rancid for up to a year. Vacuum sealing perishable items for the freezer prevents freezer burn for up to 2 years depending on the item being frozen and reduces spoiling in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks maybe up to 5 weeks depending on the item.
Answer: I don't think its a replacement for hot water canning. I use mine after freeze drying food and then I pack it in ball mason jars with oxygen obsorbers.
Answer: it is for beans or rice flour sugar like dry ingredients you want to stay fresh longer and keep humidity out of coffee tea spices stuff like that
Answer: No. food's that need to be canned still do. This will not kill bacteria. It's more for dry goods.
Q:
Can you reseal commercial food jars, such as you buy a jar of pickles/sauce/ from the store and then reseal?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I don't think so. Only canning jars.
Answer: You can seal Ball and Kerr mason jars.
Answer: I can see no reason as to why they wouldn't seal. I personally DO NOT use those jars as they aren't made for repeated use (like canning jars) as the glass composition is different . You can buy used canning jars at Goodwill & St Vincent's for about a quarter or less each. I have seen too many of those "commercial" jars break during the canning process. When you vacuum seal you are putting about a 29" vacuum on that jar and any perfections (in the jar) can cause them to break and then you've just lost what it was you were trying to put up for later use. IMHO, not worth it. Hope this helps.
Answer: only if you have a canister for sealing...look at video on youtube
Q:
Will this work with a Weston Food Saver?
Answer: It depends. Not all Weston vacuum packaging systems have an accessory port. Those that have a port tend to not have the needed hose. The popular Pro 2100/2300 units do NOT have an accessory port.
Answer: I don't see a vacuum port on any Weston product, so probably not. Contact Weston for full specifications.
Answer: We recommend using a FoodSaver vacuum sealer as we have only tested the FoodSaver brand jar sealers with FoodSaver brand vacuum sealers.
Q:
Will this keep grapes fresh?
Answer: Great question! Vacuum sealing grapes in jars may compromise the texture. It may be a better idea to go with FoodSaver Fresh Containers with produce trays as they will allow you to keep the grapes away from the collecting moisture from condensation.
Answer: Anything you can fit in a mason will stay fresh. FoodSaver Fresh Containers may work a little better but are not cheap. unless you are trying to keep them fresh for months a sealed air free mason jar should do the trick
Q:
Do these work with standard mason jars and lids, or do I need something special?
Answer: Nothing special needed. I've used mine on Ball, Mason, and Better Homes home canning jars. All works great. There is a real good seal around the shoulder of the jar on all brands that I mentioned. Love this product!
Answer: Hey Jake!:)....they work with standard Mason Jars and lids.....no special equipment
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealer is designed for Ball and Kerr brand wide-mouth and regular mason jars. Thanks!
Answer: Works with regular mouth and wide mouth jars.
Answer: yes they work only you have to have new home canning lids to make it work do not use used lids as they come lose.
Q:
can the sealed mason jars go in the freezer
Answer: Yes, mason jars are safe to freeze
Answer: Sure- it can go into freezer after vacuuming sealing.
Answer: yes
Q:
I'm wanting to juice at night....will this work to keep it fresh say over night?
Answer: If it's just overnight why wouldn't it stay fresh in a sealed container? I wouldn't worry about it. ;)
Answer: The FoodSaver Jar Sealers are perfect for this! Be sure to leave at least an inch between the top of your contents and the metal lid of your Mason jar so that the liquid does not compromise the seal.
Answer: I believe it would yes. I use it to keep food fresher longer in my fridge bc it takes O2 out. I store them in canning jars with metal lids and use these to "suck" out the air and seal.
Answer: It’s not for liquids, it’s for dry goods. It pulls a vacuum on the jar, so it would just suck up the liquid.
Q:
Is this sealer capable of sealing Ball Wide Mouth 1/2 gal / 64 oz/ 2 qt jars?
Answer: The large jar sealer will seal the bigger jars the small one does the pint size
Q:
Will this work with the vacmaster pro 350?
Answer: I do not know the vacmaster pro 350. It is all about the hose. Is there a port for the hose connection? If there is you will just have to buy the hose and try it. I have seen vac machines that the hose did not fit but they were older machines.
Answer: The vacmaster pro 350 does have a port and the hose comes with it.
Q:
Can you reseal the jars after opening or do you have to use a new lid??
Answer: Yes, you can reseal your jars after opening the jar.
Answer: You can reseal using the same lid many times.
Answer: yes you can. we will open a jar and use a partial and reseal.
Answer: I would assume as long as you do not heat the lid before sealing you can reuse is long is the glue on the lid is intact you should be able to have a noticeable vacuum just observe to see if the vacuum pumps
Q:
When would you use the Jar instead of the heat seal bags other than to protect the product from crushing or deformation? For example, bulk raisins.
Answer: I use the canning jars for storing nuts, beans, granola. Anything you want to remain fresh after opening a bag that doesn’t reseal. I love using it on brown sugar. Don’t use it on finely milled or powder products as this will be inhaled into the machine. I have a ton of things sealed in jars, both in the cabinets & in the freezer. Hope this helps.
Answer: Whether it's a pack of dried apricots or a jar of peanuts, jar sealers are built specifically to keep these items as fresh as the day they were bought. Even better, jars and jar sealers make it easy to grab and go with these snacks because the lid can be taken off and reapplied easily. If you want a handful of dried fruit before heading out, you can unseal and reseal them in a snap.
Answer: Flour, rice, dried vegetables, pasta, cookies, chocolate, etc. Jars and lids are re-usable...bags can be sometimes.
Answer: For Christmas gifts in 2017 I used jars to hold homemade colored popcorn and other jars with homemade trail mix.
Q:
Does this fit other brands of food sealers?
Answer: I am not sure if this will fit any other food sealer. You should contact the manufacturer.
Answer: We have not tested our accessories with other brands. They do work, however, with all currently manufactured models.
Answer: Sometimes it will fit. Only way I know to find out is to try.
Answer: I honesty don’t know. I would assume possibly but you may have to purchase it to find out.
Q:
Can you use this if you are sealing a jar that has water in it, or is it just for sealing dry goods?
Answer: The jar sealers work with wet and dry food, as well as liquids.
Answer: Yes you can seal fluids in the jars. I use it for milk.
Answer: Hello, you can seal it with approx. 2/3 liquid contents in it. Hope it was helpful.
Q:
When you open a sealed jar to use a bit, Is that lid then ruined or can the jar be resealed with the same lid?
Answer: If you are careful you can get the lid to seal but it may not stay sealed as long . I like using these seals. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01770SL92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Answer: All depends on if you use a thumb to open, or a can opener. Openers tend to bend the lid, making it unusable. But a properly opened lid will reseal.
Answer: I reuse the seals multiple times, but it is not recommended since every time you pop the seal it looses some of its ability.
Answer: It can be resealed over and over again.
Answer: Yes you can reuse the lid as long as you're careful and don't damage the lid.
Q:
Once you open a can item that needs to be refrigerated after and you seal in jar do you still need to refrigerate?
Answer: This is not a substitute for process canning. If an item needs to be refrigerated, sealing with this only prolongs its life a little more but does not prevent botulism etc. Again this is NOT canning.
Answer: If you would normally put in the refrigerator, then yes, it needs to go in the refrigerator.
Answer: Yes, it would still need refrigerated.
Answer: Yes, it would still need refrigerated.
Q:
Since i can many items (pc & water bath) i have numerous used lids that i use for dry storage. do i need to use new lids?
Answer: For best results we recommend using new metal lids. However, our jar sealers are not to be used for canning purposes. Thank you!
Answer: No, used lids can be used with the vacuum sealer for jars. However, do not use ones that are bent or nicked. I'm always very carefull opening my canned items so I can use with my vacuum sealer.
Answer: yes because they won't seal if they are not new lids I tried useing a used lid and it did not seal.
Answer: I have only used it a few times so far, so I'm not really a good judge, but I don't think so, as long as they seal they should work with this, using new or nearly new lids, I seem to have had mixed results. I have not tried troubleshooting yet.
Answer: My experience so far is that if the seal is intact it works fine.
Q:
will this work other brands of vacuum sealers that have the accessory port?
Answer: We do not recommend using them on other brands as they have not been tested for compatibility.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: This vacuum sealer has never worked right from day one. Bad investment on my part.
Q:
will this work for the vacuum bags with a valve ? Thanks!
Answer: Hello, this is Gosia from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit. The FoodSaver Jar Sealer is designed for Ball and Kerr brand wide-mouth and regular mason jars. Wide-mouth Jar Sealers can only be used with wide-mouth jars. Regular Jar Sealers are only for regular mason jars. FoodSaver Jar Sealers are also designed to fit Benardin Mason jars sold in Canada.
Q:
Does this come with both size sealers. The picture in the ad suggests it does but some of the reviews suggests there is only one.
Answer: Yes, this bundle comes with both the wide mouth and the regular mouth sealer.
Answer: I bought all the pieces separately, instead of as the kit. I was annoyed because the pictures show the sealers WITH tubing, but when I got them I saw there was none. I had to make another order for the tubing. I don't know if it's different if you order the kit..
Answer: There's one. You have order/purchase the other size. I use mine all the time.
Answer: I have bought a new sealer and I got I sealer and several bags anda few bag rolls. I have also purchased refurbished sealers and just received 1 sealer and bags and rolls in it, but less bags and rolls.
Answer: Mine had both.
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
I just tried to use this for the first time and the hose won’t lock into the food saver port so I’m not getting a seal! What should I do?
Answer: I'm not sure what you mean because my tube was connected and all I had to do was just take the cover off of the the PIN that you insert like an adapter to seal canning jars. I've done that with no issues whatsoever and I've also made bags and sealed them so I'm not seeing enough information to know how to help you like what tube why did you need to plug it in did you think it was not plugged in or are you trying to add something else to it?
Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!
Q:
only need the small mouth sealer price please?
Answer: It’s a set
Q:
Does this work only with metal 1x use lids? Can I use Tattler lids?
Answer: I just ordered tattler lids yesterday and will try them out. I have read both yes and no to that. Mine works great with wide mouth metal lids. Cant get the regular size to work. Will keep trying though.
Answer: Hello, this is Karolina from FoodSaver!
Answer: I’m not sure if that type of lid would remain secure after vacuum sealing. Also I presume the vacuum that is produced is “stronger” than that of pressure canning. I may be wrong. If I was interested, I would contact the manufacturer of the unit. I honestly have never heard of these kids. Sorry.
Q:
what food saver models does this work with?
Answer: I use mine with the " FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer FSFRSH0051-P00 FreshSaver Handheld Rechargeable Sealing System," Put your food etc. in the bag, suck out the air or put dry goods in canning jars, put your lids on and take the air out with this system. As far as other models go I believe you can use this system with most of them but you would have to read about the particular model your interested in and see if it accommodates the accessory.
Q:
Does it work with Geryon food sealer
Answer: Don’t know anything about that sealer. The food saver has a small round hold into which the hose from the jar lid sealer fit. Go look at a Foodsaver and see if yours has the same size hole.
Q:
Are these still being made? Is food Saver or those who bought it still making Mason jar lid vacuum sealer‘s for both regular and wide mouth jars?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Does it also work for a one piece mason metal lid instead of two pieces metal lid?
Answer: Hello, this is Zuzanna from FoodSaver!
Answer: No, This will only work with a two-piece lid.
Answer: No it fits over the lid of a lid and ring and creates the suction. Would not work on a 1 piece top
Answer: No, it snaps down over the flat lid and suctions the air out:
Answer: A plastic lid no, a metal lid I also dont believe so.
Answer: You use it with just the lid not the band.
Answer: Most likely No, you have to put the center lid on and it vacuum seals that then you add the ring.
Q:
Will the Food Saver hand-held pump work with sealing mason jars? I don't want to buy the bigger vacuum system.
Answer: short answer is that it is not designed to...however, it's an easy hack. I got this set along with the handheld hand held pump kit, that came with a bonus "deli tray". Drilled a small hole into the lid of the deli tray and reamed it out until the connector of the hose could be forced in. sealed an empty pint mason jar in about 15 seconds. (notes: I filled the deli tray half full with what I had on hand to displace the air in the container, I didn't seal the connector to the deli tray lid with epoxy like I plan to, and I only let the pump charge for about 4 hours instead of the recommended 24 hours)
Answer: I always use my Foodsaver handheld pump to seal mason jars with these. It makes it so convenient vs pulling out my big Foodsaver from the drawer... Never have had a problem.
Answer: buy the brake bleed kit ($25 here on amazon, free shipping) and you can hand vacuum seal with no other machine or electricty. love mine
Answer: I use a brake bleed tool all the time on these. Works great. Like this:
Answer: No, the handheld only works with zipper bags and deli containers. Thanks!
Answer: Yes, I don't even use the hose the handheld covers the hole on top of the lid cover and seals perfectly. Makes it quick and easy.
Q:
Can this be used with the vs1100 series of food savers?
Answer: Hello Pattee, This is Salumu from Foodsaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer Wide Mouth Jar kit. Yes, it compatible with the VS1100 Series.
Answer: Yes the jar sealers are compatible with this model series and all other counter top vacuum sealers, however, they are not compatible with the handheld vacuum sealers.
Q:
Does this include both regular and wide mouth attachments?
Answer: Yes, this bundle includes the wide mouth and the regular mouth seal.
Answer: Yes both wide mouth and regular it’s great
Answer: Yes it does. I found the smaller attachment had the gasket in upside down. Once I turned it over, I had no issues with using it.
Answer: That’s what the products specs say and the picture shows - I only purchased the sealer/bags.
Q:
I bought the set and it doesn't work on my food saver v2490. used the hose with the unit but it won't work. why won't it seal?
Answer: How are you attaching it? Are you using the accessory adapter or actually using just the plastic hose? Are you using the accessory setting?
Answer: Sometimes the seal isn't as good as it seems. Try wiping the rim with a dry cloth to make sure it's clean. Once in a while, I also jiggle the hose connection a little to see if there's air or anything preventing it from sealing. It takes a little bit of finagling at times, but usually works.
Answer: Could be a leaking gasket or part. YouTube has several good videos on this item
Q:
it’s one meant for regulating mason jars
Answer: Yes both large mouth and regular. I really love this attachment. I have put so much in jars all of our staples .
Answer: yes, one is for wide mouth and the other for regular.
Answer: Yes. But you have to make sure the ring and lid separate. It won’t work if the ring is on the lid part
Answer: No. My wife tried it and it didn't work too well.
Q:
Does this work with model 4840
Answer: Looks like the 4840 has the retractable sealer. I have model 5300 and mine has that and that's what I use so it should work, I can't tell you for sure
Answer: Absolutely, the jar sealers will work with any current FoodSaver.
Answer: I have a 4840 which has the retractable sealer and not an accessory vacuum port. The suction end of the retractable sealer pulls apart to expose a nub. I cut off one of the plugs of the jar tubing kit to attach it to the nub, but the tubing of the jar kit was too small a diameter to fit it. So, I heated the end of the tubing with a lighter to soften it. It fits fine now and works perfectly. I'm just going to leave it that way because I don't want to go through the heating process every time.
Answer: Yes, it works perfectly!! I have vacuum sealed several quarts and pint sized jars .
Q:
Will this sealer work on the Magic Chef that has the vacuum for jars? Having problems finding the hose and mason jar sealer to go with our new unit.
Answer: I believe the port would have to be 5mm.
Q:
Can I microwave food sealed in this container ?
Answer: This is not a container. These are jar sealers used for vacuum sealing Ball/Kerr Mason jars. We do not recommend microwaving your jars with the jar sealer son them, however.
Answer: You can microwave in the jars if you take the metal lids off first
Answer: Not unless you take the lid off. Metal and microwave don't play well
Answer: No
Q:
Does this work with potane sealer?
Answer: Hello, this is Karolina from FoodSaver!
Answer: Yes works well. We use it a lot
Q:
Does this work on 16 oz mason jars?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Do these work with ball jelly jars?
Answer: Our FoodSaver jar sealers work with Ball and Kerr mason jars. These jars are available in different sizes to suits all customers needs.
Answer: They work with all Ball STANDARD or wide mouth jars.
Q:
I know this isn't supposed to be used to "can" foods due to sterilization issues, but what if the contents are boiling hot when sealing?
Answer: FoodSaver recommends when jar sealing that the contents are room temperature or cooler.
Answer: You should go to a USDA page and look up canning. If the contents are high in acid you can use a water bath method but they must be canned properly or you risk getting really sick. I would not use this product to can.
Q:
Can one use the hose for Foodsaver Fresh Containers?
Answer: Yes I have. It works just fine!
Q:
What models is this compatible with?
Answer: This is compatible pretty much with all of our models.
Answer: Any model with a hose port
Answer: It should be compatible with any version of the FoodSaver
Answer: It’s not compatible with mine but mine is about 14 years old... if I remember correctly even on the box it came in doesn't specify... your best bet is to buy from your food savers manufacturer. Sorry, I wish I could have better nees
Q:
Does it work with the koios vs2233?
Answer: It did not work at all for me.
Q:
Does anyone know the "shelf life" of items sealed in jars?
Answer: Off hand I don’t. But check with your local County Cooperative Extension and they should have some information.
Product reviews of FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit, 9.00 x 6.00 x 4.90 Inches, White
dianna l. schwab : This thing really works!!!
What I like is that I don’t own a very expensive bag sealer machine, so I bought a car brake bleeder vacuum pump kit and manually pump the air out of the jars. It only takes about 10-15 squeezes, then done! Really easy, in expensive and convenient. It works like a charm! I recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to can/preserve their own food.
Very Honest Reviewer : Great wide mouth jar sealer,mediocre regular mouth jar sealer.
I did buy this used like new. I saw no damage at all on these. I gave them a 4 because the wide mouthed jar sealer really does a very good job of sealing my jars of food, which is very needed because of the several jars of perishable food that I have been able to seal with it. But the regular size jar sealer has a major flaw. And that flaw. For some reason I can't get it to seal any regular mouth jar. But when I use a brake bleeder pump with it, I can , with a large amount of effort get it to seal my regular mouth quart ball jars. Because of this ,I give the wide mouth 5 stars, but the regular mouth 2 1/2 stars.

Light-Zone : Back in Stock at a Reasonable Price and Worth it!
Was happy to see these back and available at a reasonable price and ordered it asap. They arrived quickly and I was excited to try them out. One problem though. The included hose does NOT fit my accessory port. The gray plastic tip is too thick for my machines port. Luckily I already have another accessory hose ( FA2000 ) that works with my machine as well as the ball jar lids. I immediately tried the small lid because I had read several complaints about it's inability to create a vaccum seal. Good news, it worked first try.
Phorsyte : Does not work with the FM2000
If you bought the FM2000 with the accessory port like I did, this will not work.
The jar sealers themselves do work as I was able to use a hand pump with the sealers.
The gray connector does not work with this model.
You need the green one. It is longer and will unseat the spring loaded ball in the valve for vacuum.
So if its not green, save your green

1derbread : Vacuum sealer hack
I was bummed out when I tried to use the regular mouth and it didn't work. So I gave up and came back the next day. Here's what I discovered... using 2 lids help to create suction needed to seal a jar. Then remove the second lid and check to make sure the jar is sealed. I can't tell you how relieved I was to know my food is sealed and that this trick worked. I am using this method to maintain the freshness in the food I have been dehydrating for storage. I have also added a oxygen absorber in each jar to prevent spoilage. I am so thrilled to be able to preserve my summer garden harvest in addition to produce that is much less expensive in the summer. Hoping to be able to use my dehydrated foods in backpacking meals and winter meals.
Kitty B. : Very happy with this product
I’ve had the jar sealer for several weeks now and use it several times a week for vacuum sealing dehydrated fruit and vegetables. Like other reviewers have said, the wide mouth jar sealer works flawlessly. Although I’ve had a couple of issues with the regular jar sealer, my experience using it has been nothing like many of the reviews which were totally negative. In the beginning I had a few of the jars lose their seal within about 5 minutes of sealing the jar. You can hear the lid pop when it loses the seal. So I started wiping the rim of the jar with a damp cloth before sealing it. For the most part that seems to have solved the problem. I leave the jars on the counter after sealing them just to make sure no seals pop. If no seals have failed after about 10 minutes I put them away. I do get some failures but very few, and they always seem to seal just fine on the second attempt. I’m happy with the way both products work.
DB : Excellent!
I've used a handheld vacuum made by Reynolds for years. They don't make the bags any more, and it doesn't always work with the other brands so I bought an ENZOO vacuum sealer and this jar kit. I can't believe I didn't know about this before now. It's just plain awesome. I saw all the reviews saying how they adapted the hoses to fit the jar sealer, but I didn't have to do a thing. The ENZOO vac tube sits right on top and works like a charm.
Julie Kingston : The hose that came with this order did not work with my either of my Food Saver machines
It took several weeks to get the Food Saver jar sealers (due to high demand caused by Covid probably), but they did finally arrive. When I went to use it, it did not work, the jars would not seal. Turns out that the hose they sent did not work with my machine. Once I found the original hose that came with the unit when I bought it, it worked just fine. I sealed the jars, and they are still sealed the next day.
I like that you get both regular and wide mouth attachments. I will use this to seal beef jerky, oatmeal, nuts and raisins.

JimR : Good Fit and Seal for Bell Jars
You have to make sure that the gasket goes ALL THE WAY DOWN over the lid, otherwise it will not get a vacuum and good seals. If your FoodSaver runs longer then usual, try pressing down on the sealer to ensure its tight.
Anthony : The wide mouth sealer works great. The regular size sealer not so much
This came with both the wide mouth jar sealer and the regular size jar sealer. The wide mouth sealer works great. The regular size sealer not so much. The inner blue sealer gasket on the regular size sealer keeps coming off when you try to remove from the jar after sealing. Definitely a pain in the neck to have to fit it back in place. Stick with the wide mouth sealer and forget the other one.
M. McIntyre : Great for dry canning!
We bought these to "dry can" our flour and pasta after an outbreak of grain moths :( They work wonderfully. With the milled grains, we discovered you have to use a paper muffin cup turned upside down between the flour and the lid otherwise the flour will end up in the sealer. But it works very well- make sure to wash the rings in the sealer frequently!
JimL3222 : Gaskets do not stay in the sealer caps
These were bought to create a vacuum in dry items stored in Mason jars. The white plastic cap has a blue rubber gasket within a groove that provides the airtight seal for the food sealer to draw the air out. Those blue rubber gaskets do not however stay in the groove. After the first few uses they would regularly be pulled halfway out of the groove as the cap was removed from the Mason jar. Really? That is sketchy quality. Glue the seal into the grove or make it thicker so that it stays on as intended.
A_Normal_Man : Dog poo
Does't work like in the videos,tried extra lids, cleaning all the surfaces, heating lids, doesn't seal. Maybe mine is defective, waited to long to use it to get a refund, so I will leave this bad review instead. Buyer Beware!
AmyWalker : I love this thing!
I just discovered this Foodsaver jar attachment about a week ago. I'm concerned about the amount of plastic trash the world puts out every day and was thrilled to discover this thing. It keeps food fresh much longer by removing the oxygen from the container it is in, meaning a whole lot less food waste. Foods can be held longer in storage without fear of spoilage. I just dehydrated a whole lot of fruits and vegetables and was intending on storing them in zip lock bags, wire bail jars or in Foodsaver bags. The Foodsaver bags are great for long term storage, but they create a lot of plastic trash. Now, with this Foodsaver jar attachment, you can use the same Mason jars and lids over and over which saves a lot of money and the environment, and requires no plastic at all. I have read about people putting fresh food in it and storing it in their refrigerators and getting much longer storage times, something I have not yet delved into, but will be exploring real soon. What I like even more is that if you have something like chips, baking mix or flour, that people get into a lot but could go stale, you can take what you want out and immediately reseal it with the Foodsaver jar attachment, keeping it fresher longer.
April : For older models
These jar sealers only work with the older models. That is why there are so many complaints.
My vacuum sealer (seen in the photos) wasn't sucking so I bought a new one. The jar attachment wouldn't fit. I was not happy at all. I knew my vacuum sealer was "going out". It was old and I practically had to sit on it to get it to suck the air out.
Anyway, the new one I bought would not work with this at all. The hose wouldn't fit in the accessory port. I immediately out it back in the box and sent it back.
I had an bright idea to buy new seal gaskets for my old sealer to see if I could just fix the issue. $6.99 totally fixed my vacuum issue. Immediately I attached my jar attachment to my V2450 (which has no problem fitting), locked it, hit vacuum seal. That jar sealed without incident. I am a happy camper, I tell you what!
Like I said, these jar attachments are for the older Vacuum sealers not the newer ones. If you have a newer sealer I think you need that little hand held one. I don't know how that works but it looks crazy expensive to me, juat saying. I am not about to pay $200 for a sealer because it has a handheld device.

Amazon Customer : Perfect for canning dry goods and honey!
Wish I'd have known along time ago that tree small mouth jar sealer was available. Would've made life much simpler for the past decade! I had my own raw honey. Putting jars in a hot water bath to seal lids is not an option. Finding large mouth pint jars is always troublesome. Problem solved! Next problem will be when I wear out the FoodSaver sealer due to all tge extra new use.
K. Floyd : Doesn't work
While this is easy to use, it does not create su cation in the jar. I have tried different types of lids, and multiple tricks- like double lids, heated lids, etc. Nothing has sealed. My wife and I fussed over this device (both sizes) for over 2 hours. And didn't get a single jar to seal.
I feel taken on this purchase. Don't purchase.
I feel taken on this purchase. Don't purchase.
Amazon Customer : I think by now we all know these are good.
A word of advice - when I first used the wide mouth attachment, I couldn't get it to seal at all - not even with brand new lids. Then I noticed the blue gasket didn't look the same as the smaller attachment's seal...I flipped the seal over on the wide mouth attachment and it worked like a charm. Have had no problems since with it's performance.
Willim : great product if everything worked
I was excited to get this product to use. I worked with for an hour and couldn't get it to work. Went to Youtube to see what I was doing wrong. It looked like I was doing it right. I used my Foodsaver vacuum sealer that I just bought. I tried my old Ziplock vacuum sealer with no luck. Then my mom gave me an old hose from her Foodsaver she had from years ago. It worked!! Tried my hose again and the hose they send just doesn't work. I will be getting a hold of Foodsaver and hopefully getting a different hose to use. I did noticed that the little nipples on the ends that go into the jar sealer ring of my mom's hose are slightly longer. If Foodsaver replaces my hose to one that works I'll change my rating for this product. It is pretty cool and fun to work with.
General Population : Works as expected with a handheld vacuum pump. Design flaw
The product works...does what is says. BUT, there is a design flaw (when using the handheld vacuum pump...also Food Saver brand, FoodSaver 31161370 Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer, Handheld). Since this comes with the tube, for using with the larger "bag"-type vacuum sealers, they may not have expected we'd be using the handheld pumps?
For no reason, they add the "Food Saver" words as raised letters right on the spot where you press down the rubber seal to use the handheld pump. I keep wondering if it's sealing correctly, so I'm pressing down harder than I want to. It all works though, I would have designed it different.

Patty : A very disappointing product for Food Saver
This was a total surprise from Food Saver which I've used for many years. Items were packaged well enough, but the hose was still crimped, and would not work at all. No suction at all.. it was as though the attachment as ends of hose we off size. When i compared to my previous hose attachment, there was definite issues as the plug in piece was malformed. Then there's the small mouth lid's gasket will not stay in the cap. in order to use it at times we have to add another lid to get it to vacuum. I am very disappointed in this product and i completely tossed the hose attachment and am trying to make do with the caps. Buyer beware.
Musiclover : Works Perfectly Once I Corrected My Mistake
I purchased this set of FoodSaver jar sealers with reservation as some reviewers had said they don't work. I did have to call FoodSaver twice for some guidance in using them with my specific FoodSaver model. The customer care people were very knowledgeable and helpful, but I still couldn't get the wide-mouth sealer to work. Then I finally discovered I had inserted the rubber ring upside down when I reassembled the sealer after cleaning. I flipped the ring over and the sealer worked easily and beautifully. I'm very happy with this product.
dianna l. schwab : This thing really works!!!
What I like is that I don’t own a very expensive bag sealer machine, so I bought a car brake bleeder vacuum pump kit and manually pump the air out of the jars. It only takes about 10-15 squeezes, then done! Really easy, in expensive and convenient. It works like a charm! I recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to can/preserve their own food.

Steve : Love it.
I bought this to use to vacuum seal jars of coffee to extend the freshness of the coffee. I also use it to vacuum seal and long term store jars of nuts.
I have a hand held vacuum device that works perfectly with these lids so I don't have to pull out the Food Saver machine. So far, there doesn't seem to be a problem reusing the lids.
The vacuum holds when removing the Food Saver Sealer. It works just like I hoped.
An easy five stars. I would buy again if needed.

JaFish101 : Very Handy Vacuum Accessory
Great accessory for any vacuum sealer with an accessory port. No need to only use a Foodsaver vacuum. The wide mouth unit has been perfect. The regular one sometimes pops out its seal after removing from the jar. Not really a problem since it is after it has done it's job. It only slows down the process since you have to stop and pop back in the silicone ring. Outside of that it has been a great set.
Works with standard Mason jars and lids. You don't have to add jar rings after sealing but it a good idea to keep anything from banging your lid and losing your seal. Don't forget to wipe the glass edge before putting on the jar lid to eliminate any dust or other particles from messing up your seal.

sherry : Issues with regular sealer.
Regular jar sealer only properly sealed about once in five attempts. Was the same for each of the 12 jars vacuumed and sealed. Was extremely frustrating. Also rubber gasket kept coming out when removing the regular sealer from lids, even though I followed instructions. May be a faulty gasket so am going to return for replacement. Wide mouth sealer worked fine. Will update review once replacement is received.
316 : Works great, the small one doesn't always work but I ...
Works great, the small one doesn't always work but I found a trick to it. After running the suction remove the food saver extension from the sealer and THEN remove this sealer off of the jar. If you remove the sealer from the jar while the food saver is connected the lid will come off, almost always.

Brian Fortin : Great
If you vacuum pack mason jars, this is the way to go. You can hot can in the oven as an alternative, but heating food you are trying to preserve seems counter intuitive to me. You want to protect your food from heat, light, moisture and oxygen, and this product avoids the heat treatment. I use a Freshsaver handheld unit to impart the vacuum. It takes some getting used to make it work right, one part timing and one part knowing the right sound to listen for to confirm the pump is working. A handheld unit won't impart the hard vacuum you get with a Foodsaver, but it's adequate and pretty darn close when you throw in an oxygen absorber.

Wolfie1038 : I can store my dehydrated food now indefinitely!
I bought these to use when I dehydrate my foods. It works great with my mason jars both regular and wide mouth. I can store things for YEARS once they are sealed. Only thing I am not real happy with is that one of the blue inside rings comes off when I take it off the jar but that may be because I pushed it down on the lid to hard. Either way, it doesn't affect the way it seals....it does it perfectly!
Avid Crafter : Even though it says this unit will fit my Food ...
Even though it says this unit will fit my Food Saver device, the connector end did not fit. I did not notice until I was getting ready to seal my freshly made batches of jelly. Panic! We called Food Saver and spent abt 1 hour on the food explaining and describing the cord connection. Finally they offered a shortcut so that I could get all my jars properly sealed. They also mailed me a new cord and connector for no charge, but it took a couple of weeks to get here. Just beware of this and call Food Saver ahead of time so they can give you the shortcut.
Lee : Great product.
Food Saver Jar Sealer is a great product. I purchased the kit which includes both regular and wide mouth sealers and the accessory hose. So far after about 50-75 "sealings" I have not yet had one fail. Mostly I was sealing wide mouth quarts with rice, beans, coffee, and corn meal. No problem with the dry products. Note: I am using a brake bleeder to supply suction. I sealed some regular mouth jars, used lids, and they sealed fine too. Some reviews mentions the regular mouth lids were harder to seal. I had no problem. No need to add a second lid. It is a simple product. Not much to go wrong. I would buy again.
Honest Customer for Freedom : Good but need to know the hack for the reg mouth
I didn’t rate this a 5 because the small one needed a hack to make it work. I have to place two lids instead of one on the jar the put the suction cap on it otherwise the jar will not seal with the lid. I found this hack on YouTube. There seems to be a design flaw with the small regular mouth suction piece, but once I found this hack, I have not had any problems.
madcow3417 : An engineers guide to vacuum jarring.
First, the jar adapter is specifically designed to not work with foodsaver handheld cordless. The hose doesn't fit, and the text on the top of the jar adapter is right where the handheld would fit if pressed, making a bad seal. To make the hose fit I first took the cap off the foodsaver handheld to expose a hose connector. I believe the cap was there to keep liquids from getting sucked up into the pump. I took the hose that came with the jar kit, cut it in half, and hit one of the cut ends with a heat gun. While hot I then pressed it onto the hose connector and it expanded to fit.
Put food in a jar with whatever heating or cooling or drying technique you fee like, put the lid (but not band) on, and attach the jar adapter. When you start to pump the sound should go from a medium frequency to a low frequency to a high frequency. At a medium frequency it's not doing any work, 14.7psi in the jar, 14.7 psi outside of the jar. It's just moving air around like a fan. At a low frequency the jar adapter rubber has sealed to the bead of the jar and the pressure inside the adapter is lower than ambient. There are a lot of air particles slowing down the pump. At a high frequency the jar is empty of air. The pump is spinning or flapping or whatever and there are few air particles to slow it down. At this point stop pumping and disconnect the hose from the jar adapter. A regular lid is about 3" diameter. That's about 7 square inches. A proper seal with a proper vacuum at sea level would take 104lbs of force to remove the lid, not counting cheating by lifting the edge to let air in. All that air pressure is holding down the lid so you can safely remove the jar adapter. If the jar adapter is knocking the lid off with its flimsy rubber then it's not really vacuum sealed.
I've done about 30 jars. On 4 of them the jar adapter wouldn't seal to the jar. On 2 of them I just had to press down harder so the rubber hit the bead. On 2 of them I ended up tying a string around the outside of the rubber underneath the adapter to get it to form a seal to the bead.

Anne : Wrong port on hose, Regular mouth requires extra work
I purchased a foodsaver (model FM2000) this past winter (2019), and purchased this to extend the shelf life of dried goods in the pantry.
The hose had the exact SAME grey ends, both of which fit into the sealers, but NOT the food saver machine itself. So, useless hose.
Thankfully, the food saver came with a hose itself with the two different ends that fit properly.
The wide mouth isn't perfect, but it is easier to use. There are less lid failures during the process with the wide mouth verses the regular mouth, so there is that.
The regular mouth can not be used as is. I got the first jar to seal properly, then as I was trying to get the others to seal, it popped open.
I went to the foodsaver website to troubleshoot, found nothing, and started reading reviews. There were suggestions on what to do to make it work.
After I started doing these steps, the regular mouth worked.
1. Do not overfill jars. Keep the 1 inch head space and do NOT press down or shake together powders like flour, or rice, etc., the air flows better if there's a bit of room in the jar.
2. Wipe the rim of jar and rim of lid with a damp, not wet, towel.
3. Use two lids instead of one.
4. With the hose UNattached, put the sealer on by putting it straight down from the top onto the jar.
5. Attach the hose, hold the sealer down with one hand, run the foodsaver. It won't take a lot of pressure, but you will have to hold manually it.
6. When the foodsaver stops, pull the hose from the sealer first, then release the foodsaver.
7. Carefully remove the sealer. Sometimes the gasket stays on the jar, sometimes it doesn't. Remove second lid. (It's just there t help with pressure.)
After doing that, the regular mouth worked better. I currently have all the jars I sealed today on the counter. I'm going to wait 24 hours to double check the seals before putting them up in the pantry. Also, I have a few older jars that have a much larger beaded neck. The regular mouthed jars with that large of a neck could not be used, but the newer ones with a smaller one could. (See blurry pic.)
Unlike regular canning for jams and such, this would be the one time you would want to store jars with the ring tightly on the jar. With waterbath or pressure canning wet foods, the lids can actually cause a false seal which can make the food unsafe to eat. With dry goods, the band can help to keep the seal and there is no danger of botulism. Plus, easier to stack, if need be.
There was one last suggestion made that I did not have to try yet. It was to place the lids into an over set at 200 degrees for a minute or two to activate the red seal. It remains to be seen if I will have to do that to the lids in the future.
As long as the seals remain, this purchase should be okay. By the end of my first batch of jars today, I'm not enamored. I will update if there is any new info.

Kitty B. : Very happy with this product
I’ve had the jar sealer for several weeks now and use it several times a week for vacuum sealing dehydrated fruit and vegetables. Like other reviewers have said, the wide mouth jar sealer works flawlessly. Although I’ve had a couple of issues with the regular jar sealer, my experience using it has been nothing like many of the reviews which were totally negative. In the beginning I had a few of the jars lose their seal within about 5 minutes of sealing the jar. You can hear the lid pop when it loses the seal. So I started wiping the rim of the jar with a damp cloth before sealing it. For the most part that seems to have solved the problem. I leave the jars on the counter after sealing them just to make sure no seals pop. If no seals have failed after about 10 minutes I put them away. I do get some failures but very few, and they always seem to seal just fine on the second attempt. I’m happy with the way both products work.
Tanya : Disappointed
I was very excited to get this to seal my mason jars full of spices, but it seems to be hit and miss. Some jars seal perfectly while others won't seal at all. I've tried "high quality" lids to see if that was the problem (it wasn't), made sure there was nothing getting sucked up in the tubing (there wasn't) and cleaned the piece that fits on the jar between each use. Not sure what the problem is. When it works, it's great, but more than half the time it fails to seal.
Bee Matrix Systems : Effective at vacuum sealing mason jar lids
These lids, with their connector tube, are sized to cover regular and wide mouth canning jar lids. They work beautifully to seal madon jars provided you have an effective vacuum source to pair them with. Reliable, predictable, easy to use. Sealing jars this way keeps humidity, pantry moths and ants away from crackers, grain, cereal … useful for any shelf-stable items you want to vacuum store. AND, bonus excitement, I just found out you can pry a narrow collar off the bottom and these covers work fine with vintage canning jars that have a ring of glass very close to the screw threads. Great product, and so adaptable!
Honest Customer for Freedom : Good but need to know the hack for the reg mouth
I didn’t rate this a 5 because the small one needed a hack to make it work. I have to place two lids instead of one on the jar the put the suction cap on it otherwise the jar will not seal with the lid. I found this hack on YouTube. There seems to be a design flaw with the small regular mouth suction piece, but once I found this hack, I have not had any problems.
Amazon Customer : Just what I needed.
I've been waiting for this mason jar sealer to come back in stock, and finally, it did!
I store a lot of things in mason jars, flour, rice, beans etc and it's nice to pull a vacuum on jar. I feel it Just keeps some of the humidity out and some of freshness in. I love this mason jar vacuum sealer.
It's very easy to use, and I love that "tink" of the jar lid when it seals.

Tennessee shopper : no more fuzzy green surprises
I had some of these before but after moving 3 times, I either lost them or haven't found the obscure box where they are packed.
These are great! I use my mason jars, and lids that have been previously used in canning. I can store my leftovers - soup, veggies, fruit, salad - if it fits in the jar, I store it there. Then using the Jar Adapter, I remove the air. The leftovers last so much longer - no more fuzzy green surprises!

Very Honest Reviewer : Great wide mouth jar sealer,mediocre regular mouth jar sealer.
I did buy this used like new. I saw no damage at all on these. I gave them a 4 because the wide mouthed jar sealer really does a very good job of sealing my jars of food, which is very needed because of the several jars of perishable food that I have been able to seal with it. But the regular size jar sealer has a major flaw. And that flaw. For some reason I can't get it to seal any regular mouth jar. But when I use a brake bleeder pump with it, I can , with a large amount of effort get it to seal my regular mouth quart ball jars. Because of this ,I give the wide mouth 5 stars, but the regular mouth 2 1/2 stars.
Light-Zone : Back in Stock at a Reasonable Price and Worth it!
Was happy to see these back and available at a reasonable price and ordered it asap. They arrived quickly and I was excited to try them out. One problem though. The included hose does NOT fit my accessory port. The gray plastic tip is too thick for my machines port. Luckily I already have another accessory hose ( FA2000 ) that works with my machine as well as the ball jar lids. I immediately tried the small lid because I had read several complaints about it's inability to create a vaccum seal. Good news, it worked first try.
Brian Fortin : Great
If you vacuum pack mason jars, this is the way to go. You can hot can in the oven as an alternative, but heating food you are trying to preserve seems counter intuitive to me. You want to protect your food from heat, light, moisture and oxygen, and this product avoids the heat treatment. I use a Freshsaver handheld unit to impart the vacuum. It takes some getting used to make it work right, one part timing and one part knowing the right sound to listen for to confirm the pump is working. A handheld unit won't impart the hard vacuum you get with a Foodsaver, but it's adequate and pretty darn close when you throw in an oxygen absorber.
Jennifer : Works for about a week
At first, I could only get the wide mouth to work. Once I figured I needed a second lid for the regular mouth to seal, it was smooth sailing for a few days. After that, I cannot get either to work now. I do not recommend this product unless it is really improved by the manufacturer. However, the concept is great.
Amazon Customer : I think by now we all know these are good.
A word of advice - when I first used the wide mouth attachment, I couldn't get it to seal at all - not even with brand new lids. Then I noticed the blue gasket didn't look the same as the smaller attachment's seal...I flipped the seal over on the wide mouth attachment and it worked like a charm. Have had no problems since with it's performance.
April : For older models
These jar sealers only work with the older models. That is why there are so many complaints.
My vacuum sealer (seen in the photos) wasn't sucking so I bought a new one. The jar attachment wouldn't fit. I was not happy at all. I knew my vacuum sealer was "going out". It was old and I practically had to sit on it to get it to suck the air out.
Anyway, the new one I bought would not work with this at all. The hose wouldn't fit in the accessory port. I immediately out it back in the box and sent it back.
I had an bright idea to buy new seal gaskets for my old sealer to see if I could just fix the issue. $6.99 totally fixed my vacuum issue. Immediately I attached my jar attachment to my V2450 (which has no problem fitting), locked it, hit vacuum seal. That jar sealed without incident. I am a happy camper, I tell you what!
Like I said, these jar attachments are for the older Vacuum sealers not the newer ones. If you have a newer sealer I think you need that little hand held one. I don't know how that works but it looks crazy expensive to me, juat saying. I am not about to pay $200 for a sealer because it has a handheld device.
