Need help starting to store foods, I have 5 gallon buckets with oxygen absorbers, can I just throw uncooked foods like rice in these buckets and put the oxygen absorbers in there then seal the buckets? Or do I need to do another step?
I also use mylar bags and O2 absorbers. There is a guy in mid-TN that sells used 12-15gal blue drums for $7ish on lsn.com I also hit up the local donut shop for used 4.25gal buckets for $1ea with lids.
pjf at vikingprepardness did 2videos on youtube years ago on how to do this.you need mylar bags inside the buckets.they are old videos,i think he was still in kansas at the time. it is worth the time to watch,lots of good tips.
Important to be able to retrieve a portion of whatever you have in the bucket without introducing oxygen to whatever you won’t be using in the immediate future, so use Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.
I use a mylar bag with the O2 absorber inside the bucket. The bag protects the food and the bucket protects the bag.
