What Products can be Vacuum Sealed in the Mason Jar Using the Vac110 Chamber Vacuum Sealer?
Vacuum-sealing food is a great way to extend the shelf life of shelf-stable food to keep it fresh for meal prep!
Please note that vacuum sealing, in itself, does not replace the standard canning process. The difference is that standard canning involves a hot water bath meant to kill harmful bacteria making canned sauces, fruits, and vegetables safe to store in your pantry. On the other hand, vacuum sealing, alone, does not involve the hot water bath. Therefore, we recommend only vacuum-sealing shelf-stable foods to keep them from becoming stale, rancid, or tasteless.
Shelf Stable Dry Foods: Baking goods, grains, seeds, coffee beans, dry beans, cereal, chips, seasonings, nuts, cereal, snack sticks, etc.
Shelf Stable Liquid: Yes, you can package liquids in mason jars! Some shelf-stable liquids include oils or apple cider vinegar.
That being said, you could also consider storing vacuum-sealed mason jars in your fridge to use for purposes similar to canisters.
How Many Mason Jars Can Be Sealed Simultaneously?
1-4 of the 16 oz jars or 1-9 of jars of any size up to 8 oz can be sealed simultaneously using the Vac110 Chamber Vacuum Sealer.
What Size Mason Jars Can be Sealed?
The Vac110 Chamber Vacuum Sealer vacuum seals any Mason jar size up to 16 oz.
Do We Carry Alternative Options to Seal Larger Size Jars?
If you require space to seal 16 oz – 64 oz Mason jars, then we carry just the product for you! The Vac100 Chamber Accessory (3-gallon) seals 1-2 Mason jars up to 64 oz (½ gallon) simultaneously in addition to performing functions such as expedited brining, marinating, and more!

Overview of Vac110 Chamber Vacuum Sealer Control Panel
Stop: Stops any cycle (vacuum sealer or cooling cycle) and exits out of these cycles simultaneously.
Settings: Cycles through vacuum time, seal time, and cool time.
Increase/Decrease: Adjusts any of the cycle times when inside of Settings.
How To Adjust Vacuum, Seal, and Cool Cycle Times?
To access all cycle times hit “SETTINGS” one time. You should see the LED near VACUUM on the control panel. Now, hit “INCREASE” or “DECREASE” to adjust the VACUUM cycle time.
To access the next cycle time, simply hit “SETTINGS” two more times to bypass the GAS cycle and enter the SEALING cycle. Gas is put on every control panel because of the gas option potential, but all of the units do not have a gas option installed. (We do not sell a gas flush option on the Vac110. Only models above the Vac110 have this option.) Now, hit “INCREASE” or “DECREASE” to adjust the VACUUM cycle time.
Select “SETTINGS” one more time to access the COOLING cycle time.
Prep the Mason Jars
The chamber inside the Vac110 is slightly uneven so some factors should be considered for effectiveness of the seal.
Step 1: Set the mouth lids evenly and firmly over the mouth of the selected quantity of Mason jars.
Step 2: Screw the band on ONE thread of each jar in order to keep the mouth lid in place. If the band is too tight, then the sealing process will be altered.
Step 3: Place jars upright in the center of the chamber.
How to Begin the Sealing Process Once You Have Programmed your unit and Prepped your Mason Jars
Easy! Close lid of the chamber and the process will begin automatically.
How Can You Check the Effectiveness of the Seal?
Following sealing, a dimple should form on the top of the mouth lid. This shows the process has created an airtight seal. You can further confirm a fully sealed mouth lid by attempting to lift lid or tip the can upside down.
What if the Vacuum Sealing Process Does Not Activate a Seal?
If no dimple forms, this suggests you have a failed seal. Feel free to then repeat the process after confirming the mouth lid is on evenly over the mouth of the jar. Please do bear in mind that mouth lids can distort after a vacuum sealing in a Vac110 chamber vacuum sealer. If you suspect distortion, we suggest getting a new lid.
There you have it – yet another use the Vac110 can provide to make life a little simpler and more efficient in just a couple easy steps!
