Looking for Answers about Foodsaver FoodSaver® Jar Sealer and Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer?

You use the flat metal piece...it has the rubber seal on the underside...DO NOT use the metal ring until you have completed the sealing process..then you can replace the ring or leave off..your choice...I prefer to replace the metal ring..just in case the seal is displaced (kids or animals messing around in hiding places-like closets or under the bed)..so I make sure the ring is placed back on when the jar has a final seal.

yes, metal top, with small rubber sealing ring attached, that goes onto the jar itself

yes

Yes you do use the "metal top" or lid. Put the lid on, then the jar sealer over it onto the jar. Attached with the vac. tube to the vac. (I use the "canister" setting on my FoodSaver machine.) When the machine goes off. Remove the Jar Sealer from the jar. The remaining "lid" is sealed. The ring can go on afterward but do not cinch it tightly. Just "finger tight" will do.

Yes. Use the Ball reg jar lids, and the metal ring

No, you have to have one that came with the foodsaver machine

No. I ordered my FoodSaver vacuum with the plastic tubing attachment.

No it sure doesn't.

No it does not. Had to purchase from a different place. Was not offered when purchased.
