Thanks for the video. The wife and I were wondering what to do with the 25 lb sack of flour in the freezer. Very relatable, you could be my neighbor. Gave you the thumbs up 👍 and a subscribe. God bless.

Have found that vac bagging sugar (white or brown) turns it into a big ol' sweet brick from the pressure on the bag. I've switched to large mason jars and use the attachment to vac those. The sugar is protected and not compressed as the jar holds the pressure away from it. Good tip for folks with the powdery workaround using paper lunch bags.

There’s no need to vacuum sugar. I store it in a Mylar bag 30# in a five gallon bucket. As long as it’s dry and sealed to prevent bugs from getting to it. Great video.

Short and to the point..Thanks, I've done flour before but not sugar, I'll try this next, Good video!

Good information! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing.

Please move camera closer and voice is very hard to hear you. Great information ℹ️ tuvm

Great Tip

I hadn't thought about the paper bag, that's a good I dea

Thank you.

Like the clear tip on steps for using a paper bag for sugar or other powders.

I use the paper bags for flour, putting 3 cups in each bag. I cut down the bag, date it, put type of flour, fold it over, put a piece of tape on it to keep it shut and put it into the vacuum bag to seal it. This is all after freezing the flour for 48 hrs. to kill any bugs. In the larger vacuum bags I can put a whole 4 lb. bag of flour in it and seal it.

Oxygen does not harm granulated cane sugar. You really do not need to vacuum seal it. Just put the sugar in a clean, dry, moisture-proof, food-safe container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in a cool location where rodents cannot get to it. I keep my sugar in two-gallon, plastic food buckets because a five-gallon bucket of sugar would be too heavy for me to lift. Sugar can store this way for as long as the bucket lasts, which could be decades in a cool, vermin-free pantry.

What is never specifically said anywhere in the video or comments below, is that when you are vacuum sealing a powdery substance like flour or sugar, or any light powdery substance, whether in bags or jars, it can be sucked into your machine and gum it up--or even kill it dead! You need to put a coffee filter on top of the powder in jars, to prevent it from being sucked into your machine. The paper bags work well, too, or even poking holes in the original packaging and vacuum sealing it in the original packaging inside a vac bag. But don't put flour, etc., into a vac bag and just seal it; it needs to be prevented from going into your vacuum sealing machine, which will happen when you have a lightweight powder. One good workaround for brown sugar is to only store WHITE sugar. Just add some molasses if you want brown sugar. That's all it is, anyway. There are many "formulas" online stating what the ratios are. And research the product APEEL--a shelf-life extending product put on literally all fruits and vegs by the packager, whether organic or non organic, Globally! IT CANNOT BE WASHED OFF. While it starts out as a benign vegetable product, it picks up heavy metals in the manufacturing process. Heavy metals are toxic and accumulate in the body. No labeling is required. FDA says it is okay, but used the manufacturer's info--a company owned by Bill Gates. Look online, research, and decide how to handle this for your family's safety: peel everything, protest, whatever. But RESEARCH it!

We shop once a month so get the 25 pound bag and do the same. Make jams and jelly sweet tea concentrate. And still run out before the next payday

I found this out only after ruining a brand new foodsaver. On the bright side, I did get 100 pounds of sugar put up before it died.😂

EVERYONE...YOUR FIRGETTING MOISTURE ABSORBORERS! THE SILICA GEL PACKETS!

10 pounds of sugar would last me about 10 years / I like the bag idea but I think if I’d buy a bag I’d just take out a couple ounces and then just vacuum seal up the actual sugar bag if it’s in good condition

Sugar doesnt go bad from oxygen. But fir long term storage buy moisture absorbers. Drop one in your sugar, flour, hawaiian punch.... moisture makes sugar stick clump. Moisture absorbers it seems people are forgetting. They are investing in bags but forgetting moisture absorbers. If its hot and summer u better put those in your bags with oxy absorbers or one day youll open bags and have mold!

How do you do your brown sugar?

What are you doing you take all the oxygen out doesn’t become hard as a rock? Mine always did so I just reminded me some girl don’t have to worry about my rats chewing through the vacuum sealed bag

Thank you for this video! I think it is great that you are returning the subscription favor to other creators.
