How To Vacuum Package Using the FoodSaver

Jar Sealer with Mason Jars

Use the FoodSaver Jar Sealer to vacuum package food in Mason jars. There are two sizes of Jar Sealers: the FoodSaver Wide- Mouth Jar Sealer for wide-mouth Mason jars, and the FoodSaver Regular Jar Sealer for regular or standard-mouth Mason jars.

If you wish to store Mason jars in the freezer, make sure to use straight-walled (no shoulders), freezer-safe Mason jars and leave extra space between the contents and the lid to allow for the normal expansion of liquids.

NOTE: Always pre-soak new metal lids. Bring water to a boil, then turn off. Pre-soak lids 5-10 minutes.

1Place the item(s) to be vacuum packaged inside the Mason jar. Leave at least one inch between the contents and the rim of the jar.

2Place the Mason jar lid on the top of the Mason jar.

(IMPORTANT: Do NOT use screw bands when vacuum packaging jars.)

3Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on the appliance. Insert the other end of the Accessory Hose into the hole on the top of the Jar Sealer. Twist the gray hose fitting while inserting to ensure a tight fit.

4Place the Jar Sealer on top of the Mason jar. Push down firmly until the Jar Sealer covers the entire rim of the jar.

5Vacuum package as per instructions on page 10, steps 6-8.

6Remove the Accessory Hose from the Jar Sealer by gently twisting the gray hose fitting and pulling up.

7Remove the Jar Sealer from the Mason jar by twisting gently while lifting up. Make sure the metal lid on the jar is securely in place. It should not move.

IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this may damage both the hose and the fitting.

How to Open the Mason Jar

To open a Mason jar, wedge a spoon between the Mason jar lid and the highest part of the threaded rim. Twist the spoon gently to release the vacuum. When opened this way, the Mason jar lid can be reused many times.

IMPORTANT: To avoid accidents, do not use a knife to remove the Mason jar lid. Also, do not use a bottle opener to remove the Mason jar lid as it will bend the lid and prevent its reuse.

Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for the heat process of home canning.

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to vacuum package any contents that are warmer than room temperature since the vacuum may cause the contents to bubble out of the jar.
