Can Mason jars be sealed with this product?

No. You need to use the bags that are designed to work with the gun: Waring Pro PVS1000CQB 1-Quart Pistol Vac Reusable Bags, 24 Count

With the addition of an accessory ($9.95 when I bought it here on Amazon - and usually shown as a "often bought with this WaringPro), wide mouth quart jars can be sealed with this vacuum sealer. It's the only way we store leftovers now - in glass. One note: the instructions say that traditional hot bath mason jar sealing is not replaced by this sealer, so keep that in mind if your intent was to do away with the hot bath method. That said, I've never lost a vacuum with a mason jar I've sealed with the waring pro. (But I sure have with the vacuum bags).

I bought this specifically to seal mason jars and was surprised to see so many responders saying you cannot use it to seal mason jars. I just today used it to seal the wide mouth jars using the FoodSaver Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer attachment purchased here at Amazon. You don't need the hose. It worked fine. You do have to move the suction cup around and listen for the sound to know it is working. Put the attachment over the lid (without the screw ring), put the suction cup over the hole, rock the "gun" around until you here the "sound" (you will have to discover this by trial and error), and you have a sealed jar. Hope this helps. I bought this specifically to seal mason jars and was surprised to see so many responders saying you cannot use it to seal mason jars.

Since mason jars are sealed with a separate lid from the screw on band, and the jar key would only break a seal---therefore just the sealed flat lid would be affected by jar key and i think it would work if there's enough lip on the flat lid to pry against.

There is no seal as such. The lid fits into the top lip of the jar and stays put until lifted off. We like our cookie jar, but it is hard to keep full. JOHN

Absolutely not!! Actually, there is no seal at all. Just a plastic lid that very lightly clicks onto the container. Anything kept in it over long periods of time would definitely spoil. Horrible product! Waste of money!

I never tried it but I would think not. It is great for jars to get under the lid and pop them open. It releases the vacuum seal.

I would wait, if I was you. Many of the jars that I received the tops were popped up causing the seals to be broken. They were still good, I just needed to use them right away. Hope this helps.

Shelley...My husband hasn't used them enough yet to tell, but I imagine they might. I just read that they can be sealed with varnish or polyurethane.Hope this helps.Kathy B

I like Ball brand wide-mouth and regular size plastic caps for sealing mason jars. I use them to store leftovers in fridge as well as for freezing. They work well and i haven't noticed any leaking. Be sure to allow an inch headspace when freezing foods. They are NOT to be used for water bath or pressure canning.

If the mason jar has a flat side I would say yes, absolutely. Now I would not guarantee it would stick to mason jars that have the glass logo or uneven surface. But any flat surface should work. I used it to make labels on glass spice jars and it worked great. Still sticking now, its been a few months and they sit on the back of my stove with the heat and everything. I have not tried getting them wet though so that might be a problem.

Yes, insert another lid on top of the one you are using to seal. (Top sides together.) then get out the sealer attachment place it on top of both lids to seal your jar. It works each time.

Yes I was able to put 2 mason jars 16 oz. with another piece of padding between them in side and close the zipper. You will need to put something between them, I used some old computer mouse pads that are 1/4" thick, I cut them for the padding.

Yes, you can use a VACUUM-type sealer that sucks all the air out of the jar -- I do it all the time. Food Saver brand does it very well, as long as the unit is capable of sealing 'cannisters'.

yes. it seals fairly well. it doesnt seal airtight but then again you dont want to seal them airtight. the lenght of time will vary with the recipe used and the environmental factors like temp and humidity or how long they are out of the container for.

Yes. I recommend just buying the lid with out the jar. It's about half the price. And you can buy a mason jar from the store for like $2

You need special containers unless you want to seal the jar in an air tight plastic bag but I would not because after time, these bags leak air.

Yes. I had bought a different set and was disappointed that it wasn't a true airtight seal. This jar is perfect...a nice large jar witha nice airtight seal. You won't be disappointed!

No. The lids aren't true seals for the jars. These are more of a table decorative item
