No attachments needed on the pump n seal in order to seal mason jars. You punch a hole in the top of the lid with this little hole puncher they provide (looks like a thumb tack), and then place a tab over the hole and use the pump n seal to extract the air from the jar. The package comes with a bunch of tabs but you can also order more from their website. I’ve actually been reusing my tabs and haven’t had any issues with it. Not sure about the Cabelas versions but this one is the closest and best alternative I’ve found to the Food Saver attachment.

Hey Beau Davidson— I’ve been a fan of the Pump-N-Seal which works very similar to the Food Saver mason jar attachment just without the use of electricity or batteries. It’s basically a hand pup that works with all size mason jars and re-usable bags.

Me too! I was too afraid to go near the Instant Pot for fear it would somehow explode on me. My friend sent me "The Instant Pot Bible" book for the holidays and now I'm "InstantPotting" like nobody's business LOL.

Hey Guys! I recently purchased a Pump-N-Seal (https://pump-n-seal.com/). I found it to be MUCH more effective than the Ziploc and Lasting Freshness versions listed above. It holds a VERY impressive seal and works great on Mason Jars of all sizes. I also purchased the bags and have used them for produce and poultry - no freezer burn!
