Will my Mylar bag shrink like a vacuum bag when using oxygen absorbers?
There is a common misconception that oxygen absorbers will remove the air inside your mylar bags. It is unfortunately not the case and it is why some people think oxygen absorbers are not working. It is very important to understand that oxygen absorbers only remove the oxygen inside your bag. Since air is composed of 21% of oxygen, that much air will be removed. There will still be air inside your bag no matter how many oxygen absorbers you put in. Bear in mind that removing the oxygen is all you need to preserve your food. It is not necessary to get rid of all the air.
-
Are oxygen absorbers individually wrapped ?
No, our oxygen absorbers come in a bag of 100 oxygen absorbers. With instructions on how to preserve the remaining oxygen absorbers available inside the product, there is not a real need for them to be individually packed.
