Questions about FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit, 9.00 x 6.00 x 4.90 Inches, White

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

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.

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

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.

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: 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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

Can you reseal commercial food jars, such as you buy a jar of pickles/sauce/ from the store and then reseal?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: This vacuum sealer has never worked right from day one. Bad investment on my part.

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.

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

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!

only need the small mouth sealer price please?

Answer: It’s a set

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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.

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

Does this work with potane sealer?

Answer: Hello, this is Karolina from FoodSaver!

Answer: Yes works well. We use it a lot

Does this work on 16 oz mason jars?

Answer: Yes

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.

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.

Can one use the hose for Foodsaver Fresh Containers?

Answer: Yes I have. It works just fine!

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

Does it work with the koios vs2233?

Answer: It did not work at all for me.

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

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.

ryan : Here's a fix...how to make a subpar product awesome...

Confirmed that the wide mouth version works fine, but the regular mouth one doesn't work very well. Here's my fix and it has been working well. To keep the blue silicone seal from falling out of the housing EVERY SINGLE TIME, I glued it in place using Silco brand RTV 4500 food grade silicone adhesive. I roughed up the mating surfaces with some 220 grit sand paper and cleaned with acetone prior to bonding. The bond seems pretty strong and I have not had a problem after about a dozen seals. I have not experienced any issues with the regular mouth lids not creating a seal. I think this is also because I stopped using my FoodSaver vacuum sealers, which kinda suck (or don't suck). Instead I bought a real vacuum pump--New Position's 3.0 CFM rotary vane vacuum pump (only $57!). Much tighter seal (even a bit hard to get the wide mouth lids off!). I'm pretty happy with this new setup. I pieced some stuff together to adapt the vacuum inlet, but you really just need to get a plastic or brass 3/16" barb coupler, a 3/16" barb to 3/8" male NPT fitting, and some 3/16" ID vinyl tubing and you're good to go! I'll post a pic for reference...

Jennifer Emerson-Martin : Works great for my canning

Works great for my canning! I did have to seal my smaller cans with an additional flat lid flipped upside down on it, if that makes sense. If I didn't, then the cap was sometimes unsealed when I tried to remove the foodsaver part.

Neil B. : update on quart sealer top

I found a great tip at oakhillhomestead.com that said to place another quart size lid on top of the lid you are trying to seal and then put the sealer on and hold it down very firmly to seal the jar. It doesn't work every time but enough that I have not lost my mind trying to seal jars wit the regular size lids! Once I found the "second lid that worked I put a star on it and kept it separate so I don't misplace it. good luck!

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.

Sa-El : Sort of works

I am giving this product three stars because the wide mouth attachment works great no problems at all. However, the regular mouth lid attachment does not work at all. I tried every trick in the book to get the regular mouth lids to seal and they will not seal. So now I have three cases of regular mouth jars that I can't use. I will just have to buy wide mouth jars in order to use the FoodSaver jar seal attachment for my dry canning. FoodSaver, please fix this issue!

Mo. Shopper : I've been waiting to buy these love them

I have a large mouth I bought years ago and have loved using it but couldn't find anymore to order so when I saw these were finally available I ordered them. You need a Food Saver to use them. I Freeze Dry lots of foods and some things work well to drop in the jars and seal them with these instead of having to use an oxygen absorber.

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.

AV : Works with FoodSaver hand held

I almost returned it because I thought it wouldn't work, but then I figured it out. It arrives with a suction tube that has an attachment on either end. One end attaches to your jar suction lid and the other connects to your food preservation system. The attachment doesn't fit the hand held preservation device. Here is the remedy. Pull the attachment off one end of the tube. Pull the green cap off the bottom of the hand held device to reveal a small stem. Hold the suction tube (the end without the attachment) under hot water to allow it to soften (hold it with the opening down to avoid getting water in it). When it softens, force it over the little stem on the hand held. Let it cool that way to mold it. Then use the attachment on the other end connect to the mason jar suction lid. Cover your mason jar with its disc lid (not the ring). Press the suction lid firmly over it, and use the hand held to remove the air. To easily remove the suction lid from your jar, first detach the hose from the suction lid. Then pull the suction lid off. The system sucks the air out of my mason jars perfectly and seals the disc lids on well. I'm very pleased.

MDB : Nice addition to have

If you own a vacuum sealer these are nice attachments to have. They are solid and easy to clean and so far they fit on the jars I have used. I bought this set because the price for both was less expensive than buying individually. Very pleased with this purchase.

Leah’s Loves : A few problems with the regualr lid seal

We bought this specifically for the regular lid seal. It was a better deal to get both. I haven't had any issues with the wide mouth seal, however the regular one will sometimes not seal well. I followed the advice in the reviews to use and old lid and a new lid and the extra space taken up with allow for a better seal. This worked well with the machine and didn't have any other issues.

Susan mh : foodsaver wide mouth and small mouth

I have return this now 2 times, the small mouth dose not work. If you look at it the lip of the gaskit on the small one it dose not extend farther then the plastic lip as the large mouth dose. It dose not seal at all. The large one works fine. the only reason I bought this is because of the small mouth. To buy small one is almost the same price for 2. I do allot of canning etc this product needs to be evaluated and checked. Please if you need a small one dont buy it unless you read the review. Then again that dose not mean nothing. Company needs to look into this. They cost me allot of money due to doing glass on canning etc as times are hard on us all. We need products that work. They need to check the gasket on this thing.

MDB : Nice addition to have

C. Schaffer : Very easy to use!

I can’t get over how quickly and efficiently this works! I’ve been sealing my dry canning jars in my freeze dryer (which still isn’t hard but no where as quick as this). The only negative is that if you’re canning a powder, the suction is so strong that it often pulls the powder between the seal and the jar and won’t allow the jar to seal tight.

HarkHut : Practice makes perfect, read the directions

This is my 3rd FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer! I love them, and when I retire one, I give to to family members to enjoy. I have saved on our food bill for many years using the FoodSaver. We watch for meat sales at the local grocery stores and then buy roasts and have the butcher grind them for hamburger that I use for all kinds of hamburger dishes. We package the meat into patties, 2 patties per package since there are only two of us. I can open as many as I need for meat loaf, meat balls etc. They stay beautiful in their vacuum sealed packages! I write the name, date purchased and the store on each package. I have had beautiful chicken pieces frozen for more than a year and they are wonderful when prepared.

kathy.la : Doesn't work with Model VS1130

Bought this to use on FoodSaver model VS 1130 and it did not work. I called FoodSaver to find out why and after being transferred 3 times after a hour and a half on the phone I was beyond frustrated. I was told it's actually a Seal a Meal and kept getting transferred. I never got an answer. The actual Vacuum unit words great but I wanted to use the Jar sealer.

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.

Hurricane : Wide-mouth sealer mazing - the Regular-mouth sealer not so much

First of all the wide-mouth sealer is wonderful. I love it. The reason I am not giving this set a 5-star review is the design problem with the regular-mouth sealer - it does not work properly as described. After many efforts to get the regualr mouth lids to seal; new lids, new jars, many attempts I was ready to throw it in the garbage. Fortunately, I read the comment made to a reviewer experiencing the same problem. Thank goodness for that comment because now my problem is resolved. Using two lids one on top of the other while sealing is the secret to success. The top lid comes away when the sealer is removed leaving the bottom lid attached to the jar. I even tried it with lids I had removed from previously canned jars (washed and dried of course) and it sealed perfectly. Thank you to the person who posted a solution which works.

Dani Arteri : Not compatible with cordless handheld- description NOT clear at time of purchase

I bet it works great, but I'll never know. I have the cordless handheld FoodSaver (small black one with green rim), and was under the impression that this jar kit would work. On the product page for the jar sealer, there is a statement that any sealer with an accessory port is compatible. The handheld DOES have an accessory port, but it is NOT compatible with the jar sealer kit--I even contacted the company to make sure.

The customer service rep said he'd talk with the IT department about getting it changed- but just in case it's not changed, here's your warning about compatibilty!

Chip Thome : This also isn't anything new so obviously FoodSaver doesn't care about selling a defective product as the bad reviews go back a number of years

Go read the 1 star reviews on just the regular mouth jar sealer of this kit. IT DOES NOT WORK and I am sorry I failed to delve deeper into the reviews. This also isn't anything new so obviously FoodSaver doesn't care about selling a defective product as the bad reviews go back a number of years. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on the regular mouth sealer. The wide mouth, have had one of those for years and that one functions as intended.

s. kust : Sealing Mason canning jars you need these.

I use these jar cover's to seal my canning jars when putting up dry beans, rice, pasta, and other items I want to keep bugs out of. Place the jar lid on jar, place the proper size cover over the lid and use the food saver machine or a break bleeding pump and suck the air out. You will know if it's sealed by lifting the jar up by the edge of the lid. Screw the ring on , mark what's in the jar & date sealed. Works great!!!

T.R. Troyer : Check your connectors

I am going to give this a solid 2.6 stars and by the laws of rounding that makes it a 3.

So, everything cam as described, well packaged, good looks and feel of product and 1 sheet of instructions. I go to use it aaaand IT DOESN'T SEAL!!! Thats the gist of it and I will save you the long commentary of my frustration but if you do a quick scan of the "1 star reviews" you can get an idea of what's going on. As for this product, I'm not sure if it is actually a "food saver" brand since they don't make this anymore and I couldn't find it anywhere but Amazon, crazy right!? Anyway, what I found to be the problem is the connector piece that fits on the food saver should be a little longer to depress the check valve so it can suck the air out of the jar and since both ends are exactly the same, that is just not possible with what is sent in the package. So buyer beware on this, some people say that this works with the "new" machines and that may be, but I just bought mine, so its pretty new, and the accessory port is even grey like the end on the product but IT STILL DOESN'T WORK! It just not long enough. The older model had a "green" end and that end was slightly longer (and locked in with a click) to depress the valve.

Anyway, enough rant, I just grabbed ye ol'e brake bleeder, connected the hoses and got my vacuum that way. With that said, that is why this gets a 2.6, the vacuum cap pieces work, just not the way they are supposed to or the way intended hence why I think this is a chineseum knock off and not a real food saver product but who knows anymore, its covid times and nothing is normal. Good luck and have a backup plan.

C. Schaffer : Very easy to use!

SINNOCENT : What a joke

I've tried this on 16 jars now- 10 regular mouth and 6 wide mouth. Only 1 has gotten a seal. It spends the majority of the time not fitting down over the jars right without the blue cushion inside warping- and it won't even think of sealing regular mouth jars until you put a second lid over the first. Yall really missed the mark here... and I'm out $40. What a mess.

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.

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!

Amazon Customer : Handy

The regular size would not seal the half pint quilted jars. I looked it up and fixed it by punching 3 holes in one lid, and putting into the mechanism. Then I put another lid on the jar and tried again. Worked like a charm. I am very happy with this product not because I can save my dried items in mason jars instead of bags.

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.

Okie girl : I recently got into canning and these make it so easy. A must have

These attachments make my Nesco Vacuum sealer so much more versatile. I use these all the time! I recently got into canning and these make it so easy. A must have. In the picture these are refrigerator pickles and did not need the hot bath or pressure canning process.

KC : I am probably going to be sealing several jars and this is annoying and time consuming

I haven't used it a lot, but the large mouth jar lid sealer seems to work well every time. The small mouth sealer is a pain and seldom works. It worked about three times as it should. Then the rubber started falling out on every jar and the lids did not seal. After reading some other reviews, I saw one with the tip of putting one upside down jar lid on top of the one that sits on the jar then using the sealer. I tried that and the lid did seal, but the rubber still pops out and has to be put back in after every jar. Foodsaver, you need to do something about this. When I use it, I am probably going to be sealing several jars and this is annoying and time consuming.

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.

MDB : Nice addition to have

Thomas M Viera, Jr : Large mouth is perfect, smaller is challenging

We use this product 3-5 times a week. The large mouth opening sealer works perfectly 99% of the time. And for those jars, the seal is strong, and super simple to complete. The small mouth sealer is 50%-50% as to if it will seal or not. I can't determine why this is the case, but it is so frequent an issue that I have purchased more large mouth jars so that I can sealer them easier.
I started using this with my sealer and the accessory tube, but then I bought the hand held unit in order to make it faster and easier to use. Works very well with both the tube or the handheld unit.

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.

Elaine Parker : Very easy to use and does a great job

We have started preserving our herbs and other foods via freeze drying/dehydrating and read that using Mason jars for dry goods and including O2 packets to the foods help regulate the humidity and therefore when used correctly inhibit bacteria and spoilage. So far I've used these in freeze dried raw eggs as well as homemade beef jerky. Both foods have been shelf stored since the holidays and they're still in great shape.

This jar sealer option for a vacuum sealer does a great job. The suction does a great job of sealing the lids when used properly.

James A. Ristow : Amazing from FoodSaver because

Amazing from FoodSaver because, as a firm with the poorest customer support I have encountered, these things WORK. If they didn't you would be entirely out of luck. FoodSaver begs for a good quality competitor. Their product is reasonably good with a limited life -- after about four years you must toss it and buy another. There's really very little else out there that works as well. It's truly a "catch 22" (if you understand my meaning) -- The best hope is to buy the unit and any accessories available (the accessories are generally NOT available) at Costco. Costco's return policy makes up for FoodSavers total customer support neglect.

tallslenderguy : Doesn't fit FM2100 port?

I received mine today and the gray tab works fine in the lid portion, but does not fit snuggly in the green port on my FM2100. I have a zip lock attachment that came with the machine and it has a green tab that fits just fine (and looks different from the two gray tabs on the hose I received with this device). I tried switching the tabs to no avail. I was afraid to push too hard because I do not want to break the port on my machine. The adapter that came with the machine attaches and removes easily, so i would think this would as well?
Edit: Okay, figured it out. With my particular unit, cannot use the hose that comes with this. If you remove the top from the zip lock attachment, there is a male connector that fits in the canning jar attachment just fine and then you can use that hose. Also used the tip someone in the Q&A section mentioned about inverting an extra lid to keep the canning lid from coming off when you removed the regular jar vacuum attachment. I would have given it 5 stars, but you do have to play with it a bit, then it works great.

Roxanne : Makes storing food easy and long term.

I bought a used but like new Jar sealer kit. Came with BOTH large and small jar sealers and the hose. I must admit they looked and we're package like they were brand new. ???? Took them out of box, and immediately hooked up to my clamdo vacuum sealer. They both worked beautifully. ???? Theses are so hard to find. And usually if you can they're outrageously price ???? But this sseller was great to work with. Keep checking back everyday if you're looking for this jar kit. It's well worth it when one comes along. A very handy prepping kitchen tool. Also worked perfectly with my hand held vacuum food saver pump.

Roxanne : Makes storing food easy and long term.

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.

Stacie : No problem with Reg size lids

I've had no problems with the regular size lids. I do not have to put two lids on to get the one to seal. Works perfectly each time. The hose that came with it does not work with my Food Saver and Food Saver did not come with a hose, I expected this from reviews I read. I use a brake bleeder which I learned about from reviews, and there are You Tube videos. And had planned on getting one anyways due to, tiny kitchen and no place to set Food Saver up for regular use. Easier to use brake bleeder for resealing jars. Love them. Can't wait until I get wide mouth jars. It helps keep my dehydrated food (and my miniature marshmallows fresh). Plan on using it next time I open can of olives, I store them in Mason jar in fridge to keep fresh, I think they will last longer if air is removed while being stored.
