We've all seen those
vacuum sealers on the
infomercials. Sure, they might be handy, but at those prices you might as well just buy the minimum amount of food and not worry about food storage. But thanks to the DIY imagination of Eric Foreman, you can
make your own vacuum sealer for about $30!
The parts list is pretty simple:
- A brake bleeder / vacuum pump
- A Tila FoodSaver Mason Jar adapter
- MasonJars with lids
Obviously this won't allow you to leave out spoilable foods, but it's a great way to keep other things fresh. Use it to store things like tea, your expensive coffee beans, pasta, and bulk spices. And if the
survivalists are right, this will turn out to be a very handy contraption to have!
