I have a safe roughly of those very same dimensions and this works just fine (going on three years of use now absent any humidity issues whatsoever). Difference here is I am combating moisture buildup on metals and documents, not food. That said, if I had a situation like your's I would use them without hesitation.

It helps eliminate moisture in an enclosed area. Not sure about stopping mold; don't think so.

Not entirely sure, but if the bins are sealed, how do you expect something outside of the bins to fix the "problem"...maybe should have thought about that before you let the temperature go up in the closet...plus...the food may be spoiled.

I believe all covers will have some condensation. Would suggest to place the food on a plate.

No this will not keep ants out. This isn't an air tight seal on this compost bin. I recently had ants invade the kitchen because of the bin. It's still a good bin though.

Don't know. I only use them for dry food to keep the ants out in the summer. The fridge might affect the seal.

Leave enough room when you first seal it. Then reseal it the way you did in the beginning. Iron or food sealer

We haven't had any issues with mold - and we only have one bunny so we had our supply around for quite a while! If you can keep it cool and dry (we keep ours in our chilly laundry room), it should be fine. Our bun definitely prefers this to anything store-bought!

We have a Food Saver vacuum with the attachment that seals canning jars. I just dumped a bunch into some quart-sized jars, shook the chives down until I couldn't get anymore in, and vacuum-sealed them. Word of warning though, pry the top off VERY slowly and carefully when you want to use them or they will fly everywhere when the lid pops off!

Probably not. You might try a metal drain cover that has smaller holes. The ones on this one are probably going to let food go through.

First of all, your landlord should take care of the humidity problem. Please run a dehumidifier for the health of you and your family. I find that even in my pantry that is on a concrete floor and seems humid to me, that the crackers stay pretty fresh. Try a set and see for yourself.

You can put a strip of paper towel between the food and the seal point, this will stop any moisture from going into the vacuum.

I use the racks once a week and have had them for over a year. I haven't had any problems with mold.

If they are sealed when you put them away, my thought is you have a bad batch. A different vaccum should not make a difference as long as it sucks all the air out

I keep mine in the house pantry in another container. No problems with mold. My corgis eat the large bag in 2 months

Putting it in a ziplock keeps in the moisture which is causing the mold. I either leave then out all the time and let them chew at will, or I put them in the fridge -no bag.

Yes, you can use a VACUUM-type sealer that sucks all the air out of the jar -- I do it all the time. Food Saver brand does it very well, as long as the unit is capable of sealing 'cannisters'.

The unit seems pretty well-sealed to me, and the opaqueness of the container also helps protect the food from light. I fill the container with Science Diet food about every other month, and I've never noticed any negative changes in the food. I would suggest that you start by putting a relatively small amount of food (maybe a week's worth or two weeks' worth) in the container and see how it goes. I promise, it will be worth it!

I have used it and the Food Saver Meal Saver with the adapter. I have even used the manual Ziploc with the jar adapters and the jars have stayed sealed. Make sure jar tops are clean and free of blemishes or chips.
