Oxy-Sorb 100-Pack Oxygen Absorber, 100cc



Very bad experience, poor quality control
I have ordered many Oxyfree adsorbers and this (it was a huge order) was my first experience with Oxysorb. One package came without a status indicator, I trusted it anyway. They did not function as my others, and were unable to create a small vaccum inside of small canning jars, even when I used two. Another package arriving shortly later (300cc) without any status indicator. My 2000cc adsorbers were unable to "finish off" the vaccum in my 5 gallon bucket of rice, and two in combo were unable to do it in a 5 gallon bucket of beans. The thing with adsorbers is that they must be packaged and handled right to be of high quality when they arrive at your home. A simple visual inspection won't work and it is often hard to identify a failure if you also used a foodsaver type of product. Do not trust your long term food investment to this product unless you know your stuff and can check for function. I recommend Oxyfree brand from known seller instead of this product.

Oxygen zappers.
These are the perfect size to absorb oxygen out of the mason jars we have to keep our dehydrated food dry. These will be used for short and long-term food storage. Put these oxygen absorber inside mylar bags to protect the dried food from spoilage. Great little product.

Does the job.
This was my first purchase of oxygen absorber and unfortunately I didn't educate myself enough prior to purchasing. I wish they would've provided some guide for how many are needed for certain volume containers. In addition, I wish they were individually sealed. As they come, once you open the bag they ALL begin to absorb oxygen. You can re-seal the bag or place them in a Ziploc buy their productivity is greatly reduced every time you do that. My future purchases will be in smaller quantities with larger capacity absorbers.
