This starter kit is for sealing freeze-dried food in mylar bags. It complements Harvest Right Home Freeze Dryers. The kit includes a 12" impulse sealer, fifty 8" x 12" mylar bags, and fifty oxygen absorbers.
The food-grade mylar bags are 7.0 mil thick and keep oxygen and water out. Place an oxygen absorber in the bag before sealing, so vacuum sealing isn't needed. The 300cc absorbers help protect food from spoilage, mold growth, color change, loss of nutritive value, insect damage, and loss of quality. Use all of the absorbers from an opened package for the best oxygen removal. Sealed food can be preserved for up to 25 years.
The impulse sealer makes a 5mm-wide seal. Set its dial to match the thickness of the mylar bag. If the seal is hard to achieve, turn the dial up until it seals. To test a seal, tug gently; it should not pull apart easily. Double sealing makes a stronger seal. Don't reseal in the same spot, because that can melt the bag and ruin the seal.
