It will vacuum seal a mason jar lid if you use it in conjunction with the FoodSaver Wide Mouth Jar Sealer attachment which is about $10. See Salad in a Jar video on youtube.

This is not to be used to replaced canning. You could, however, use this when making a recipe specifically called "refrigerator pickles", and using the vacuum would basically marinate them more quickly.

pickles do not need to be sterilized as such or vacuumed, the brine is what takes care of preventing spoilage but it does need to be acid enough to do its job. I hot pack my zucchini pickles and do not heat them any further, just put the sterilized lids on the canning jars and let them cool on the counter. I have some I made a year and a half ago and they are still good.

I would imagine so if you have the special attachment lids for the jars. HOWEVER, as an avid canner myself, I would NOT recommend sealing jars of food in this fashion. The hot water bath and/or pressure canning systems do more than merely seal the jars. They kill microbes that would otherwise destroy the food and/or make people ill. This is a good unit for saving leftovers, splitting up frozen foods into smaller quantities, and preserving dried foods. I, personally, would not use it for long-term storage of fresh or wet foods.

I can't really answer your question, but I would tend to doubt that it would work properly, because it produces less vacuum than a full size unit.

Sorry but I have no idea how this would work for that job. I don't think it would work.

Yes if you are making dilly beans or something simmilar just add according to package directions the same amount you would use for pickles.

No, it doesn't. I tried in numerous ways to get this to work but the jar sealer requires a port which this unit does not have. I really, seriously recommend you DO NOT buy this hoping to use it for canning jar lids. If you call Foodsaver directly and ask about this, they will probably offer you an incredible deal on their smallest unit (FoodSaver Mini) which does this. I took them up on their offer and have been very happy with it for a year. I now store most everything in the wide mouth jars.

This works great with my food saver for sealing jars. I do not have a hand held so I can't comment. I do know that most Food Saver brand use the same parts.

The regular mouth converter ring comes with it, I haven't seen anything for wide mouth jars.

Yes, it is very good to open jelly, pickles, smal and larger jars. I cannot live without it. One caution: Do not use on ver soft sided containers as you may have un suspected consequence. Diane

it is used with the food saver machine.. it's the same as the one for the wide mouth jar only for the smaller mouth jars.. it fits on with the same hose as the wide mouth jar sealer..

yes, all canning jars are either regular or wide mouth. no matter whether 8 oz, pint or quart. as long as it is a regular mouth jar, it will work.

Yes, you do need wide mouth mason jars. De[ending on the pickler you buy.We bought the one that goes on the wide-mouth quart or 2 quart. We love it, it makes the BEST sauerkraut. Enjoy!

Well, good question. I don't use this for pickling - we place this on the floor, and have a beer bottle opener mounted above it. The crock is used to catch the bottle caps. Happy lid hunting!

I am sorry, but all I have used mine for is filling up my Mason jars with soup. It has a big wide mouth and fits on jars wonderfully.

I never tried it but I would think not. It is great for jars to get under the lid and pop them open. It releases the vacuum seal.

It should be fine with olives, I haven't tried it, but it only opens up about 3" or so, so it might not work well with pickles.

never tried pickles but use regularly for olives, mushrooms, eggs, water chestnuts and even radishes...I find that filing with two or three olives at a time works better as they don't collapse when slicing...I love it and so easy to clean

Your Foodsaver will require a port to install the vacuum hose. It's a small round hole in the top of the Foodsaver. If there is no hole, the vacuum cannot be hooked up. Just as an aside, the Foodsaver jar sealers will work with the small handheld Foodsaver vacuum. I use both every day and have zero problems with them.

I use the Food Saver Marinator as well as the Wide mouth and Standard mouth attatchments for standard canning jars. I'm happy with the performance of the Ziplock vacuum sealer as well as the Food Saver accessories. One use I find particularly useful is chopping herbs into a canning jar, vacuum sealing it and placing it into the freezer. The herbs stay incredibly fresh and don't stick together.

No, it will not fit into either a regular or wide-mouth mason jar. But it is still the best, handy to use, and easiest to clean masher I have eve used in my 75 years.
