Not silly at all. To seal in a jar, you would use a canning jar and Lid Only, place the vac sealer attachment for jars securely on top, then follow the vac sealer's instructions. Ours is to press the vac/seal button and the removal of air and sealing of the jar begins. Takes about 1 minute. I add an O2 absorber before I seal.
I purchased them from Amazon. They are sold in a sealed package. Once the package is opened, they will begin to absorb air. I put the packets in a jar and vac seal it.
I use both. O2 absorber in the jar then vac seal. I do both as the eggs and a few other items, I want to preserve for years and years.
Ah! I thought I was at the end of the thread when I asked that question and then saw you had already answered that from other people. Sorry, but thank you for explaining again! I just got a jar vacuum sealer, but wasn't sure how well they actually worked, or if they were just gimmicky. Sounds like they're valid!
With some models, people have written that they don't always work. I hold down on the attachment, like pressing down on top of the jar and have not had any problems.
Room temp. I keep mine in my basement but that varies from 45° in the winter to over 70° in the summer. I know someone who does not have air conditioning and keeps hers in her kitchen pantry with no issues
