Hey guys, I'm working on sealing up food in mylar bags and 5 gallon buckets right now.
I just got 5 buckets in and realized I didn't let the rice thaw from the freezer. I am vacuuming out most of the air and using 2100cc oxygen absorbers per 5 gallons. Am I going to have mildew problems or will the rice ruin from the condensation? |

I forgot I had extra room to reseal, thanks for the tip.
I opened one, and it seems very dry inside. I think I will reseal this one, and check one of the buckets in a month or two. If it's good, I'll leave the rest of the buckets. From now on though I'll try to remember to let the rice thaw

| After tossing in the O2 absober, I seal the mylar up about 99%, push all the air out and then seal it all the way. I then take a pin and poke a hole in the topand push out as much as i can of the remaining air and seal up the hole. The O2 absorber will do the rest. In a week or two, it will look like a professional vacuum seal. Dont bother with dry ice or vacuuming. My 2c... |
