[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 473242, member: 1211"] I too use whatever jar I've tested to do well. Smucker's jars are good. Salsa jars are better. I already paid for them (and I eat a lot of peanut butter), and from my experience, they work better than Ball and Mason jars. I've had horrible luck with both; possibly as low as 50% seal rates. It's more like 80% for the jars I'm recycling. If you plan to freeze a vacuum bag, that MIGHT be okay. The cold temp likely slows down the plastic leeching into the food. You'll eat it or throw it out before the leeching is significant. However, if storing food at room temp in plastic is the situation, I would recommend against it. Okay, you don't care about the health risks. That's fine, but how about the plastic lending to the flavors? I know. You've seen military rations from seventy-five years ago, and people eat them. I'm not talking about something remaining edible here. I'm talking about plastic not being a positive addition to the flavor of something. Since we're likely talking longterm storage of tobacco, sitting next to plastic for years, that's not a desirable situation. [/QUOTE]
