I hate to ask this, but some lurkers may have the same question.... In the name of helping others..
So, I got a food grade bucket, I put my two cans of tuna in it, and put on a Gamma lid. I recently bought a couple more cans of tuna and thought about mylar bags since so many people talk about them. Got a mylar bag, and the oxygen absorber; even bought an iron to finish the deal. Today, as I look at the job, I wonder if the gamma lids are enough, come here, re-read, and see that they are damn good at the job. So, my question now, is should I throw in the oxygen absorber with the gamma lid, or just save it in case I ever buy some crackers and put them in with the crackers in the mylar bag?
I didn't really realize the oxygen absorbers were to kill bugs. If the gamma lids are air tight, they are as good as having 5,000cc oxygen absorbers, right?
