If you have trouble vacuum sealing a jar of flour - if the flour is vacuumed up into the mouth of the jar and into the hose - it can clog up the inside of your Foodsaver appliance. Try cutting a coffee filter to fit on top of the flour in the jar, and just set it inside the filled jar. Vacuum seal as usual.

There are two different canning jar sealers, one for regular mouth jars and one for the wide mouth jars, so be sure to get the one that fits the jar size you use most. Or get both. If you don't have a FoodSaver unit, you can use a Pump N Sealhand pump to manually remove the air from your jars. (You'll find other similar brands here.)
