Will this work with Foodsaver canning jar sealers?

No. It only does bags and the containers. AND the bags are only the ones you would open and close on a regular basis, like, for instance, cheese for daily use. It won't hold a seal on a bag put in a freezer. I tried it and it failed!!!!!! Hope this helps.

No - According to the company (I contacted them 3/15/2011). It works with the more expensive heat sealing type FoodSaver machines - the ones with a special "port" - Not the FreshSaver. If you read the comments on my review, I address it there. Unless the company has a new version of this machine (I don't think so) - the FreshSaver will not work with the lids. It works with the FreshSaver ziploc bags & deli containers. This machine is meant for short term storage - not canning or freezing long term.

It does, despite Foodsaver designing both items in a way to try to prevent it, so that consumers buy the more expensive, larger, foodsave rather than the Freshsaver. To get it to work, you simply press the Freshsaver down firmly over the wide mouth jar adapter to ensure a good seal and it will work just fine. Alternately, there is a hose attachment that complements the jar adapter that you can modify by cutting one end off and inserting the hose end to the Freshsaver, which makes it easier to get a good seal and suction.

No, it doesn't. I tried in numerous ways to get this to work but the jar sealer requires a port which this unit does not have. I really, seriously recommend you DO NOT buy this hoping to use it for canning jar lids. If you call Foodsaver directly and ask about this, they will probably offer you an incredible deal on their smallest unit (FoodSaver Mini) which does this. I took them up on their offer and have been very happy with it for a year. I now store most everything in the wide mouth jars.

Yes, I used a section of plastic hose from a marine supply store to mate them. Since it is only held by hand it is of limited vacuum, however. It would be advisable to screw on the ring to make sure it stays sealed.

Sorry, not these, use the Tattler lids for canning. These have no seal on them.

I have reused jars that I purchased food in from the grocery store to vacumn seal and they work great as long as they have a rubber ring on the lid. I have a canister sealer and I put the jar inside and when I release the seal on the canister the inside reused jar seals. Look at video's on YOU TUBE about vacumn sealing they have been very helpful to me.

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 would depend on which model you are using. If you have an upright model then it will not work. Be careful of overheating which can cause the FoodSaver not to seal properly.

I am not familiar with the hand held FoodSaver, but to use the Jar Sealer you need to have a so called Accessory Hose, which is a thin, clear hose that I can pull from my FoodSaver V3880 model in order to insert it on the top of the Jar Sealer, just like depicted in the picture that shows the Jar Sealer. This hose does not come with the Jar Sealer.

I've used this with both an older Foodsaver model (more manual working where you have to push down to seal) and a newer automatic one. Worked great on both with no issues, so I don't think you should have any problems using it with the gamesaver model.

YES, this can be used on canning jars, but you need canning jar adapters. Look for Food Saver Wide Mouth and Regular Mouth canning jar sealers here on Amazon. All you need to do is use the Unit right over the hole on the canning jar sealers, no tubing necessary. NOTE: this does not replace pressure or heat canning for perishable items, but works well for preserving dried foods and extends the life of foods stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

This works great with my food saver for sealing jars. I do not have a hand held so I can't comment. I do know that most Food Saver brand use the same parts.

Yes it will.. I use this regulator on mine with the gauge also..just double checking the correct pressure when canning

It's made to be mixed with sealers, so it should work fine. It doesn't affect what you mix it with.

It can, with an attachment, vacuum seal lids to canning jars. HOWEVER, this is not a replacement for actually canning the food - if not heated/cooked as directed, you may be sealing botulism spores in with your food. The attachment is great for sealing lids to allow storage of dry goods under vacuum (like flour, sugar, etc), but should not be used as a replacement for properly canning wet, fresh, or cooked foods.

I hook it up to my VacMaster Vacuum sealer but I think you can also use these with Foodsavers Vacuum machines.

Yes, it will work with your foodsaver, But I had two of them and they both cracked with in a month. I will not buy them every again.

it is used with the food saver machine.. it's the same as the one for the wide mouth jar only for the smaller mouth jars.. it fits on with the same hose as the wide mouth jar sealer..

I don't know why they wouldn't, especially being a Weston product. I used the with an older FoodSaver model and the worked great!

Yes it will. This is what I use with my pressure canner. Is was the primary reason I purchased it.
