Which Products are Compatible with That Seals It!

That Seals It! is a patented vacuum lid system for sealing #10 sized cans. To use our lids, you will need a #10 can and a vacuum pump. You probably already have both. Let's talk about the products that can be used with That Seals It! vacuum lids.

#10 Cans

Vacuum Lids designed to seal #10 sized cans

The term "Number 10 Can", #10 Can, or “10 pound can” refers to a size of can (See our post about it here). #10 is a popular size for freeze dried food storage products. That Seals It! can be used with any container that is this size. Be sure to check the rim of the container for any nicks, cracks, or debris. Anything that prevents the lid from sealing to the rim will allow air to leak out and the lid won't work. This shouldn't be a problem, but just make sure and check.

#10 cans are also commonly used with bulk foods. Once you have opened that can of nacho cheese, you can vacuum-seal it until next time. Once the cheese is gone, wash out the can and use it to re-seal anything you like (we recommend vacuum sealing brown sugar, it never gets hard!)

Vacuum Pump

This Sucks! manual vacuum pump & electric bag sealer

That Seals It! is compatible with manual or electric vacuum pumps. In order to create the seal, you need a way to remove the air. You may already have a pump, just make sure it is the kind that pulls air out, not pushes it in.

This Sucks! vacuum pump has dual chambers to quickly remove air

We offer a manual pump that is a great addition to any food storage or emergency preparedness system. The pump is small and easily stored. If you already have a manual pump it will need to connect to the vacuum hose that comes with That Seals It! vacuum lids.

That Seals It! is also compatible with most electric vacuum pumps that have an accessory port. We personally use the Food Saver brand. We have not had the opportunity to test every available electric vacuum pump. If you have a different brand that you use with That Seals It! lids, we want to hear from you!

How to Rotate Your Food Storage with That Seals It!

We all know that food storage is important, but it is also very expensive. Did you know that food storage has a shelf life and will go bad just sitting in storage? With grocery prices rising, it's a good time to start rotating your food storage into your routine. But how? What on earth are you going to do with a whole container or dehydrated shredded potatoes?

That Seals It! is compatible with any #10 sized can. Check out our post to learn What Is a #10 Can?

With That Seals It! you don't have to worry about using an entire container right away. You can start incorporating your food storage into meals your family already eats and enjoys. Experiment with replacing ingredients with freeze-dried products. You may only use a tablespoon now, but with vacuum sealing, you can be sure that the powdered milk will still be fresh next time you want to add some to your baked goods (highly recommended by the way!)

Start bringing those #10 cans up from the basement and play around with them in the kitchen. Kids who are resistant to fresh fruits and veggies will snack on dehydrated strawberries and bananas like candy!

That Seals It! vacuum lid is a must have for your kitchen

Vacuum sealing decreases oxygen and moisture which contribute to spoilage. With your open cans sealed and visible on the pantry shelf, you are more likely to use and enjoy the food you have already purchased. With regular use, you will learn which products you and your family enjoy most so you can build a food storage that is perfect for your needs and avoid buying products you won't use.

That Seals It! Vacuum Lid, Clear Canister and #10 Can

That Seals It! offers just a single lid if you are starting out with vacuum sealing or 5 lid pack for regular rotation of your favorite food storage products. Vacuum lids are also great for re-using empty #10 cans (hint, we love to vacuum seal fresh produce in the fridge for extra long life and crisp veggies any time!)
