Once you open the vacuum sealed bag how do you store the remaining casings? For how long?

just seal the bag or put the remaining casing in salt for later use. i only tried storing the casing in salt for 1 year, but i believe it could be much longer.

I store mine in a jar filled with heavy salted water in the refrigerator. I change the water every couple of months and have keep them fresh for approximately 2 years. If they have a very strong odor they are beyond there useful life.

I go through a case pretty quickly but even an open bag will last a couple weeks or more. The unopened will last months.

it's like a Zip Lock Bag, after unrolling from the velcro, peel open the top like a plastic Zip Lock Storage Bag.It REALLY seals well.

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

It depends on how you store them, and how much of a perfectionist you are. I vacuum seal them in quart mason jars as soon as I receive them, and store them in a low cool cabinet. They are fine for 6 months.

I'm not sure about the "best" way. Some recommend refrigerating, but I figured that wasn't needed until after the bag was opened, so that's what I do. They only last a month or so. Freezing is probably good for longer periods. I just store the new bags in the pantry.

I keep them sealed in the bag they arrive in. It has a Ziploc seal. I usually store them in a drawer.

I have been storing it that way without problem. Note, the inner bag is resealable and I also added a baggie around that.

I would place the opened bag in a sealed Ball or Kerr jar in a pantry. If you have an oxygen absorber i suppose that would be good too. Thank you.

I have not vacuum sealed them. I store the original bag they came in, in a freezer zip lock bag, in the freezer and they are still fresh after one month.

It is not resealable. I have a vacuum sealer, so I put what I was going to use in a jar and resealed the rest in vacuum bag. You can freeze it after opening in a regular ziplock too.

Unopened bag will store almost indefinitely keep it in a cool place. I put the open bag in a mason jar and have stored it in my refrigerator up to two years without noticeable deterioration. Be sure to proof your yeast as you use it, that is the best way to know your rise will be right. Hope this helps, John

I simply re-seal the original bag with my foodsaver. You can't vac-pack it since the material has no texture but you just need to remove as much air as possible and seal the bag. Works great!

I take the batteries out and then hang it from the handle of my garbage can outside for a couple hours until it is dry. Then I like to store it in a space bag, which is like an oversized zip lock, so it seals everything in.

After I open the package, I put them in a ziplock bag. As long as you keep them airtight, they last a very long time.

No the casings only need to be refrigerated after being opened and then should be recoated with UN IODIZED SALT. Remember to wash these casings (the amount you want to use) in warm water about 30 minutes prior to using. Hope this answers your question.

cut the plastic to size> seal one end with the heat seal to form a bottom> fill the bag with food and seal and vacuum to close
