They way I have used them is to line a 5 gallon bucket (I get pickle buckets from fast food restaurants), fill with food and then add a desiccant and oxygen absorber packets. I use an iron to melt the open end which seals the bag, and then put a lid on the bucket. This basically helps preserve dried goods longer.

My issue now is that my DH and son are on Keto, so they are more interested in filling up the freezer with a cow. Plus I can’t eat a lot of the things I have stored like beans, but I’m always good with rice.

I could be wrong but I think they are a layer of aluminum and then plastic and then another layer of aluminum. So something with high heat can seal them, like I use a hair straightener.

You put whatever it is that you want to seal in them, then an oxygen absorber, and then seal them completely. Then your food product will be in an oxygen free environment and hopefully last a long time. When you’re ready you just cut it open, with scissors.
