Which setting, moist or dry, do you use for sealing cheeses? Thank you.

Dry but I haven't noticed any difference between the two settings. It also says don't do soft cheese but I do shredded mozerella all the time.

I use dry and have had no problems with cheddar, chipotle, and various other pepper cheeses.

They recommend overnight. You can make it dry faster (2 hours) by mixing it with Cotol-240 (tm). The seam sealer contains toluene and you must store it in the freezer. My husband repaired the hole I was having trouble with so I did not know all of this. He just put it on our garments and let it dry overnght.

I use mine for home made bread. Good quality, wash well - they shrink in the first wash, but stay the same thereafter; this is included in the product detail in the fine print. Its the organic bit that's probably the justification for a slightly higher price point. Personally, I put cheese in plastic too. They do not seal. The muslin are great for say potatoes, carrots and other root veg. Greens in my opinion keep longer in the fridge in plastic. You can google the best storage methods for the particular produce you want to store.

Two answers. If you want to seal it (no liquids to penetrate) I would use 2 quarts. Two or three coats, allowing overnight dry time between. OR, consider cutting the first quart in half with mineral spirits, apply liberally and allow it to soak into the wood. Two coats here, with overnight dry time each. The third coat can use straight Salad Bowl Finish.

I never use dried milk. I had a breadman for years and never used dried milk and water. I use not only different bread machine books but even regular bread recipes for the dough cycle. I just used it to make my Easter bread with my grandmas recipe. Just do dough so you can bake the special breads right. The machine is great for mixing, kneading and rising. I never do by hand anymore because it closely monitors the rise.

This works just fine with dry foods. The sealing bar is inside the chamber. I have a different model which only works well as a vacuum sealer. It won't seal a bag without first drawing the vacuum since the vacuum is what causes the sealing bar to be pulled tightly against it's backing material.

I have these and I love them. I haven't found one that was dry. Mine are very much creamy. They last such a long time.

I've used several brands and can't tell any difference. Just for the fun of it, I set the heat to the lowest setting and sealed a zip loc sandwich bag. I've not had any second thoughts about this purchase. I've been through several lower priced sealers and wish I had started with this one.

Since the peaches are frozen there should be no moisture so it is not necessary to use the moist setting, however you are not hurting anything by using that setting.

I actually haven't tried that so I can't say. I would guess that a drier cheese would do fine but others may just clump up ???

The jar has a label on it that says it is for "dry storage only." Therefore, any moist or liquids should not be stored in the jar. I have no idea why. I bought this to brine chickens but now am returning it because of this label.

Unfortunately the cheese never lasts that long in our house, it gets eaten up very quickly. I would suggest trying to break the clumps up with a fork. Store it in an airtight container in a moisture free environment. Hope this helps.

Pure Moist lasts hours longer moisture-wise. If you've never had problems with your contacts drying out, or with dry eyes, there's no need to switch up to the Pure Moist, in my opinion.

The key to getting a good seal is if the bag is not filled completely. I just squeeze the air out and roll the top over a couple of times and I get a perfectly dry seal every time.

I bought this Tuscany canister set, as well as the bread box in mid January. I haven't had any moisture problems. I live in northern Maine and heat with wood so the air in my house is dry and I use a humidifier. Let suggestion would be to check the humidity level in your house.

It has been awhile since I opened the container. It did have a seal. I think it was a paper type. There is a packet inside to absorb moisture. No problem with caking.
