Title: LTS crackers
Post by: JoJo on November 25, 2015, 07:53:38 PM

Slowly building my long term food storage and I felt that with soup crakers go great. But how to store them.
There are three packs in a box of Salteens and Ritz and I was thinking I needed to put a small slit in each pack, put them in Mylar with O2 absorbers. Will that work or will the O2 crush the crackers?
Today I bought a box of Kosher salt dried Navy beans, split peas, a can of pears and two cans of BBQ beans.

I live by Ritz.  I think a vacuum sealing with an absorber would be good, provided you make it just a light seal.  Otherwise you may crush them.  But if you can get a full suction go with that.  I have not tried either so I can just provide thoughts.

Try a full vacuum and see how they stand up.  If crumbled, go with the lighter one.

I just break them in half, stuff 'em in a mason jar and vacuum seal them. Time comes I need them, I won't really care if they're broken up or not. But I'll probably be glad the jar is really really full.

Like bread, you can always freeze them.

Freezing is good idea but all I do for long term storage I do so I need no electricity.
