Good to know. Guess I could burp them during the process.

They swell like a balloon. I put a plate upside down that fits inside the crock pot. I use what we use to freeze sweet corn etc. Love my vacuum sealer.

I used to have the Professional Sealer and every 2 years without fail it died. The last time I bought the cheapest $69.00 buck manual sealer (so I have to use scissors to cut my bags) and it has been with me for 5 years and still working great. I LOVE my vacuum sealer, worth every penny. It's a great way to store smelly things.

That would probably work, LOL elegant!

I see burnt fingers happening, but hey if I can make candied popcorn balls I can hang.

LOL they make these things called gloves and if you get them a little larger the air is a minor insulator. They work well for just a little to warm situations

Tongs for that. I have my gloves that I put 'toons into the dip with.

Same here. I had the stainless one. Lasted around 3 or 4 years of freezing around 40 quarts of beans, corn etc. A year. It would have cost me more to repair it than a $59 manual job. Mines around 4 years old now. My wife and I started gardening again in 1980. We bought one that lasted us through two kids until around the early 90's. They haven't lasted like they used to.

Same with coffee pots and toasters. Planned obsolescence, I swear there is a self destruct timer in them.

I'm skipping your house on Hallowe'en.

So I saw an episode of Bong Appetite (if you are a foodie and a stoner and have not seen it... you NEED to) and they suggest just using a canning jar in boiling water.. to de carb without browning the buds? I think they may even add the butter and all to the jar to immerse it... let me see if I can find it

something like is done in this vid

Dragged a rice cooker out of the garage, it runs at 195 degrees. Put a ziplock in it and held it down in the water, it is holding together well. I could also use it to evaporate the ethanol concentrate outdoors, away from any ignition source. I need to check the temp in the warm setting. (106)
