Can you vacuum seal this one gallon jar?

no it is for decoration only it has a plastic sleeve that helps to make a compression fit for lid but is not very effective

Yes however the seal is not that great on mine... I would recommend buying additional buffer/storage solution as I spilled all mine.

i have bought 2 of these type of jars and yes, the jar can still be sealed.

you can but i wouldn't advise it.Liquids in vacuum boils at lower temperatures, which mean for example that if you are sealing a steak it will loose juices and flavor during the process.Also the vacmaster use a dry piston motor which lifespan can be affected if to many evaporation occurs within the chamber.It is always better to lower the temperature of anything that is going to be vacuum sealed.

No, no seal inside the lid, just plastic. My wife uses these jars to make her own deodorant. A suggestion would be; If you require a sufficient seal using these jars, to place a piece of stretch wrap plastic between the product and the lid, or wrap the jar with lid into a vacuum sealed bag and remove the air.

Yes there is a clear plastic seal. It isn't so tight it is hard to get off, but I think it is pretty airtight. The jar is huge, wish I would have gotten a little smaller one. But, I do like it.

Hi there, in answer to your question the instruction says: The vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. I hope this answers your question.�

Yes, there is a flexible plastic seal on the lid that does seam to seal pretty well. I keep cookies in the jar and they remain fresh, and I have to admit, they don't always last that long in the jar at my house.

Yes. Close smaller jar with its lid very, very lightly closed against its glass edge. Put it in the larger jar or vacuum canister. Suck the air out of the larger jar. The vacuum in the larger jar will also suck the air out of the smaller jar and suck its lid tight. Break the vacuum on the large jar and remove the small jar. Then give the lid on the small jar a good twist to seal it tight. I've done this with no problem at all. Although, I'm using a DIY system made from a bicycle pump. It can pull about 25 inches Hg of vacuum !!!

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.

It will definitely pull a serious vacuum for lealing lids on tightly. HOWEVER, that does not mean that in doing so it sterilizes the jar's contents. Personally, I make sauces and pour them into a sterile jar and then use the PRO305 to seal the lid and the sealed contents will last for years. Just be careful with your sanitation and you should be fine.

Yes, but you need an attachment to use canning jars. They make two options - regular and wide mouth. Each one is $10 and a great addition to this sealer.

The instructions show that there is a tray for catching excess liquids being removed during the process, and I find that mine unit does remove liquid so the bag can be sealed. Due to this, I find it highly unlikely that you could seal liquids in the bags. Also liquids can be a problem if they end up where the bag is being sealed. Foodsaver does offer the ability to vac-seal mason or canning jars, plus other containers that they offer. I have not attempted this yet, but the Foodsaver website does show more details and better explanations of their options.

yes, you place the flat lid on the jar, then snap on the white sealer part over the top of the jar, connect the tubing and hit the vacuum button on your machine.

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).

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

While I haven't tried it myself there is a review http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FSFRSH0055-FreshSaver-Handheld-Vacuum-Sealing/product-reviews/B002NGNBR8?pageNumber=2 that says no it will not work.
