There's nothing worse than mushy pickles! But don't worry, they just become like standard pickles but in a couple of minutes instead of days - you can dial in the degree of "doneness" quite easily by changing the vacuum strength and number of cycles you pull.

Marty 2,532 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 John that looks like a very nice sealer. One of the things that I found for sealing liquid is home made sangria. It will transform into a poor tasting liquid in 24 hours if left open to the air in a refrigerator, but will keep a couple of weeks if sealed and refrigerated. It tastes almost like fresh made.

I hope it works as well. So far, not as lucky with mine. It came crated but looked like it was handled roughly. Some hoses were disconnected and a power wire was ripped loose. It's working , but it's not generating enough negative pressure in the chamber. There is a slit in the gasket that goes around the lid, I think it's leaking there. Can you tell if your gasket is 1 solid piece with no seam? Also, I could be slightly over filled on oil, could that be a factor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thomascw 18 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Got it working with the help of my brother in law. The push lock fittings were leaking replaced with brass fittings and hose clamps. pegs the gauge now. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
