Oxygen absorbers

[Melissa15]

I have a pack of 10 oxygen absorbers and only plan to use two later on. How can I best store the unused ones? The only empty glass clip jar I have is a 2l one, could I put them in there until I use them next, or is the jar too big?

Wrap them in clingfilm. Then put them in the jar in the dark.

Tried and tested method:

Put in glass jar and fill with dried beans all the way to the top and seal jar with cover. The reduction in air space will stop the absorbers from working until your ready to use again.
