If oxygen absorbers are placed inside the bags you do not need to freeze or heat the treat the flour. Bugs can't live in a no oxygen environment. You can buy a cheap hairstraightner to iron the top shut. Cheap and easy!

I dump it out on commercial size sheet pans and bake it for 12 hours @ 220°, let it cool to room temperature and store it in 1 gallon glass jars. Never had a bug. I've used it that was 11 years old and it was perfect.

O2 absorbers are just like hand warmers, I always shake them up before putting them stright in. I seem to have better results.

For those that can't afford a commercial heat sealer, a home iron, and a piece of timber 3" x 1". Lay the myalar bag on the timber surface and hold the iron firmly on the mylar for the needed amount of time.
Way cheaper! Just as quick and convenient.

Thank You Brother, new to Mylar bags, I placed 2 of the 300 oxygen absorbers in mine, scared if I was not placing enough in, Thanks again. Also, my family is in denial about what's coming, I remember Jimmy Carter Day's, believe this will be on Steroids.

Great educational vid!
Your such a well spoken guy👍
Thanks for explaining preservation techniques with patience, it's really helpful.

Just wondering ... Why don't you just put a 5 lb. bag of flour in the mylar bag? Might not be quite as cheap, but a LOT easier?

[ibrahimbialy]

there is a much easier method to store flour long term in bulks. first sieve it with a special flour sieve to get rid of any bugs. then put some salt in the bottom of a wide mouth container (bucket, drum). then put some flour and press it down over and over with your hand till your palm can not sink in it . put more flour and repeat the process until the amount is finished. sprinkle some salt on the top and you are done!!! by this, you have excluded all oxygen from the container wich cause rancidity. if this is done properly, you will have this flour last for years. it is best to fill the container to the top, thus you are not leaving any space for oxygen. ENJOY PREPPING.

South africa don't have mylahbag how can I get it

[yaniramedina]

Would this same process work on powder milk? Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can't wait to learn more.

Great job! I am glad we will have some flour 😀

[hdrider]

Excellent information. Appreciate your efforts and God bless you and the people who tell you everything your doing is wrong 😆.

Thanks for the new video on storing flour. I know we could just grind some of our wheat but many in my family like white flour rolls and bread at 50 50 mix of whole wheat and white flour. I am going to seal some flour and if it runs out, I will hope that the family will adapt to whole wheat bread and cookies.

[davesanders]

Be sure to wipe down the inside top 2 inches before you put in the Oxygen absorbers and seal.
Imagine if I had an "old fashioned" flour sifter???

[sueciviero]

This was very helpful. Thank you from London, Ontario, Canada. I am just about to use mylar bags for the first time.

[Vimokshadaka]

Another way is using a large glass Carboy/Demijohn and a Vacu wine stopper and such out most of the air. You need to check it’s a good seal with extra rubber as the mouth will be wider than a wine bottle.

[scottswan]

Can you do the same thing with a vacuum chamber? Being in South Florida, it kind of hard to get the temp range you recommend. How long would they last in 90-degree temp?

[haunthunterify]

If the idea is to remove oxygen wouldn’t a food saver which removes air and shrink wrap the food work?

[robertavaughan]

Whole wheat will last longer can that and then grind it don't waste your time money and effort on flour...goes bad quickly

[FreeRange]

will a vacuum sealer work with mylar>
