Canned some powdered gatorade to keep it dry longer

The first air tight container was too big?
Yeah, last time I bought one the powder captured enough moisture that the can corroded. I only drink it about once a week so there's powder sitting for a while

This is probably unnecessary. The powder itself should be very shelf stable so I would have just repackaged it in vacuumed sealed bags or get an attachment to vacuum seal the jars (vs heat canning).

That would cost money

You can order food safe packets of silica beads to absorb moisture

Now this is appropriate content for this community. Well done, dullster.

Bro what are your gatorade needs such that this is necessary?
Dunno about OP, but the advent of Long COVID comes with a 5x increase in new diagnoses of POTS. Lotta new passengers on the electrolyte train. On high symptom days, I have a junkie-like relationship with calcium antacids and salt shakers.

Ben’s wife swears by them.

Probably be more cost effective to buy an amount you can use before the can corroded. That's gotta be like years and years old can. Can't imagine the product even stays good that long. Work smarter bro

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The cool thing about mason jars is they're reusable. This let me buy the big tub of powder at half the price per oz, and cost me a few cents in gas. This is how we put one over on Big Liquid, my friend

As someone who has lived in a rainforest biome, I understand this

You don't even need to vacuum seal it.
Just a silica pack would be more than enough.
Source: bought a few containers on sale a few years ago, all are fine.

i just want to know why it's in the oven

It's called dry oven canning. The oven heats up the contents of the mason jar, so when I put the lids on and let them cool, the air inside comes to a lower pressure and we get a vacuum seal. Same notion as you see with jars of salsa, where the little circle on the lid pops up only once you crack the seal

Just got that vacuum sealer mason jar attachment and use it every day for coffee. Love it!
If for nothing else over OP's method of choice, with the sealer, you can take what you want and reseal without heating up a whole oven every time.
Credit to OP for using what tools they had available, but if this method improves your situation, they'll be spending more time hearing and sealing it than drinking it, plus repeated heat cycles may possibly degrade the product.

I really gotta start using mine. I keep forgetting I own it.
