OxyEye color?
I am unsure if I received a defective product. The OxyEye was pink inside of the sealed up bags. After I used the oxygen absorbers in my canning jars I noticed that the OxyEye was still the same color- pink. It is still pink now, a day later sitting on the counter. No color change. I am wondering if all my oxygen absorbers were exposed and no longer good. That would be frustrating considering the time it took to seal up all my jars and vaccumm pack it.
I emailed the seller and am waiting to hear back. Will update the review once I do.
**Update** I still have not heard back from the seller, Seal & Store, LLC. I received a new bag of Oxy absorbers from another site, a reputable company. I left one absorber out of the bag on the counter to see what happened- it got hot! Like they are supposed to when they are absorbing oxygen. Also, the oxyeye turned purple to indicate it had oxygen contact.
This DID NOT happen with the oxygen absorbers that I purchased from Amazon...
Don't know, eye indicater did not change color much.
The indicator did nothing when I opened package and no change in color for weeks now. I've heard the packets get a little hot when working properly. No change in temp ether, I'm wondering if my food is ok. I think I will buy another brand open my bags and throw in another absorber or two. The other reviews say they work great, how do they know?
UPDATE: I compared the indicator with an unopened package again and I do see some change in color. Perhaps they are working, Also did find another vender that appears to be professional selling the same product so I feel better about the situation. The other vender gave instructions for testing these things. Tape it to the bottom of an empty jar, turn the jar upside down and place it on a pie plate with water. If the absorber is working it will pull some water up into the jar. start the test over each day for about a week. It should keep working for a few days.
Great Product
These are amazing and really work well. I use them for everything from storing food, ammunition, etc. Whatever you want to store for a while in a sealed container and want all the oxygen out of it. They work great. I had to open a bucket the other day that had these in them, and I had a hard time getting tiop off because of the seal. Hihgly recommended.
