Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver T03-0006-01 Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer
Customer Review: Wonderful, when you know how to use it...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have collected canning jars for years (the old blue ones and other old or unique ones) and have always used them for food storage (with the old zinc caps). While this is better than the bags and boxes that the products originally come in, vacuum sealing is quite an improvement! I have thrown away certain spices such as onion salt, bbq rubs, gravy mixes and lecithin so many times because they absorb moisture and become either hard, clumpy or gummy. This wonderful little gadget has put an end to that.
I can't find a rhyme or reason as to why some jars seal and some don't but I blame it on the jars and not the jar sealer. After using this gadget for a while, you learn to detect almost immediately if you're going to get a good seal or not. When the air is being properly sucked out, the sound pitch of the Foodsaver unit changes to a higher and higher pitch.
I hope this tip helps some who are having problems: Often, for me, when the unit just sits and runs and a vacuum is not happening, I simply push down on the sealer while twisting it for about 1/2" and immediately feel the sealer or lid pop into proper position and the vacuum "grabs" the jar.
Also, while Ball and Kerr jars are recommended by the manufacturer, the brand of the jar doesn't seem to much matter. I am amazed when an empty spaghetti sauce or mayonnaise jar seals, while some of my Kerr and Ball jars won't. I have purchased Kerr wide-mouth 4 ounce jars and they work wonderfully for spices. It's odd and disappointing that the same brand of jar in the next larger size (Kerr wide-mouth 8-ounce jars) will not seal at all. If I was going to purchase jars to use with the Foodsaver, I would keep the receipt in case they didn't work. Once you get past the trial and error stage with jars, this little gadget is worth its weight in gold.
Also, you do need to be sure that the rim of the jar is clean and that you leave an inch of headspace in the jar.
(It's a shame that the Foodsaver company doesn't really give adequate instructions with their products. All of their accessories refer you to your user's manual and the manual that came with mine was just a few pages. I went to the Foodsaver site and downloaded the manual for one of their premium models and it helped immensely.)
Description of FoodSaver T03-0006-01 Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer
FoodSaver Regular jar sealer allows vacuum packaging in Ball or Kerr Mason jars. Ideal for liquids and fragile foods, or for storage of dry goods such as brown sugar, spices, dried fruit, coconut and flourFor those who cook large quantities of food for storage, FoodSaver vacuum packaging systems offer excellent protection against food spoilage and freezer burn. This jar sealer attachment fits on pint- and quart-sized Mason jars and is for use with any FoodSaver machine that has an accessory port. The lid forms a tight seal on Mason jars while tubing (sold separately) inserts through the top and removes air from the jar with the help of a FoodSaver machine. The jar sealer works equally as well in packaging liquid foods, such as jams, sauces, or mustard, as it does for dry goods, such as brown sugar or spices. The sealer can even re-seal the same container multiple times (in case someone keeps dipping into the stored jars of raspberry jam). Vacuum packaging with this lid can keep food fresh three to five times longer than keeping it in a plastic food storage container in the refrigerator; however, it is a different process from canning and should not be confused with traditional canning methods. --Cristina Vaamonde
