ABOUT US

I stored some rice and beans to have ready incase something was to happen I would be prepared for my family. After a lot of research I found my way to be over kill but its what keeps me at ease. I purchased 5 gallon mylar bags with the proper oxygen absorbers. I also purchased several food grade buckets in bulk for a lower price.

1) I store the rice in my mylar bag which is placed in my food grade bucket.

2) I place in my oxygen absorbers one at the bottom and one at the top of the bag.

3) I iron the bag but leave just enough space to fit a vacuum hose in to remove air.

4) After I use the vacuum I iron the bag completely shut. Use iron at the high setting and make sure you use a flat surface like a chopping board or a book. The absorbers will get any remaining air out of the bag.

5) I have a gamma seal lid that i use instead of an ordinary lid. This also makes an air tight fit.

Note; you do not have to freeze the rice as long as you follow these steps. Also, keep some smaller mylar bags and absorbers handy incase of resealing.
