Introduction: Airtight Seal for Plastic Bagged Foods Using an Old Water Bottle
this is a great way to seal up bagged food frozen or not and keep them fresh also makes it very easy to pour out and when the food is all done you can reuse the seal over and over again
Step 1: You Need a Pair of Scissors and a Empty Water Bottle With the Top
You can also use an empty soda bottle depending on how large the item is you want to seal up

Thank you it works so great with my rice so easy to pour out instead of pouring it out from just the bag

for dried rice beans or anything that is dustless, just fill a dried plastic bottle completely with no bag. Wide mouth sports drink bottles are nice.
just a thought

very nice how IU missed this I will never know, I will add a ring of duct tape on the =cut edge of the plastic will help preventing the bottle from slashing the bag.
