I saw that I still had the original post open in another tab so I copied them and am posting them here.<br />3 comments :<br /><br />BAugust 6, 2016 at 6:56 PM<br />Things like Rice and Pasta can, of you aren't careful, poke a hole in the in the bag under the pressure from the vacuum and ruin the seal... I often put pasta and rice and other things that might poke holes in paper bags first. <br /><br />I also find that a union works well as a quick disconnect. I welded two ears on the nut to make breaking the seal easier. <br /><br />Told ya in your earlier post that a BIG valve works better. If you can find one, use a butterfly valve. Open faster than a ball valve. <br /><br />http://www.mcmaster.com/#butterfly-valves/=13m4n2x<br /><br />Congrats. <br /><br /><br />Oh, BTW, LUBE THE SEALING RING on your pressure vessel. Trust me on this.<br />ReplyDelete<br />Replies<br /><br />PhilAugust 6, 2016 at 7:49 PM<br />After I fiddle farted around with a small twist open valve, I found a ball valve. As I was looking for it I remembered someone saying something about it but couldn't remember who it was, thank you!<br />I am taking everything out of the bag and put it in the mason jar. I throw the bags away at that point because they are useless.<br /><br />As for the seal, mineral oil maybe?<br />Stuff like cooking oil goes rancid after a while.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />Delete<br />Reply<br /><br />BAugust 6, 2016 at 9:01 PM<br />Any light oil works. I use olive oil and wash it off with Soap and Water occasionally. <br /><br /><br />I tried to copy and paste this once already, Blogger double posted the entire post AGAIN and all the comments disappeared AGAIN.<br />This is the third shot at it.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.com
