Mainstay Emergency Food Rations 2400 Calorie Bars, Enriched with Vitamins & Minerals (Pack of 3)
Linda how long can I keep something in the Ziploc bags? I have many things
in them and Mylar as well please let me know. Tank you
Linda,
I have been watching your videos and learning alot. I dehydrated some
spaghetti sauce in my snackmaster jr. and by the time it got dry it looks
real dark, is this normal and if not did I dry it too long.
My wife and I are planning to make some of the meals in Jars. we have
dehydrated veggies and such but this is the first time for a sauce.
thanks for all the info.
Jake
That is great information. Thanks!
for short term you can just store on counter but for longer storage she
mentions using use a food saver type machine to remove air from jars and on
another note you can even add an oxygen remover for really long term
storage safety and it will be sure to remove all the air…
I have an Excalibur (9 trays but they different ones with less trays) and
it’s awesome !! what I like about it is that the fan is located at the back
of the machine so when it dehydrates and blows the air around it blows
directly over the trays .. Most stackable style dehydrators have heat and
fan at the bottom so trays on top get less air circulation…So in my
experience (I have had both types) if you can afford it get an Excalibur if
you plan to a lot of dehydrating.
I have 22 garlic planted in the garden. And 5 elephant garlic planted. I
plan on making some garlic powder with all of those and save a few for
planting again. Free garlic powder forever!!! LOL I love my garden and now
I am trying to plant things that I use a lot of to cut down on the grocery
bill and eat healthy 🙂 If I had known it was so easy I would have been
doing this sooner. Thanks
I use a tsp if that’s what it calls for:)
linda, I do not use much garlic but watched this a while ago and now have
about 1 1/2 litre jar of it. when a recipe calls for a tbsp how much of the
dehydrated would you use. You have me dehydrating things quite a lot so now
I just have to learn different things I can do with them. I powder the
mushroom so I can use them and not have my husband ask if I am trying to
poison him. But he is pretty good about trying things since he knows it is
a lot of work to get it done. He also sent me here.
I would say that’s an excellent value. I need to take up garage saling! 🙂
I am new to all this, so do you just store the mushrooms in the jars like
you showed, no need to get air out or anything. Just throw them on a shelf?
Thanks
It’s American Harvester. I’ve never used the Excaliber so I can’t compare
the two. I do see a lot of videos where people have gone to the Excaliber
though. I do a lot of dehydrating and for the $25 I paid for mine at a
garage sale (including extra trays & screens) it’s been a great value for
roughly 8 years.
Use a pizza pan to turn the tray over instead of fighting with trying to
get the tray liner out. Just an idea.
Thanks Linda. Good to hear that the rehydrated garlic tastes like fresh.
Thanks for running that little test. It helps.
What is that? Can you recommend it? Over the Excaliber? Thanks. Trying to
get an idea of different ones and their value.
Can you tell me what it is and whether you’d recommend it?
a fantastic matriarch of the household, marvellous to see 😉
I have neve seen large canning jars that large before, where woud I purchae
them?? and great video too.
Yes, I do. They turn out just fine. I haven’t tried this with anything like
berries where they’d be sticky, but with vegetables there are no problems.
oops – you discussed that…
So there garlic doesn’t taint the taste of other things in the dehydrator?
My mom just gave me about 20 large bulbs of elephant garlic from her
garden. I wasn’t sure they would keep all year but now I’m going to pull
out my dehydrator (I have the same model as yours) and follow your lead!
Do you use this instead of commercial flea treatments or does the garlic
work all on its own? I want to try this!
I felt so BAD after watching this video … because I just threw out two
large bags of Kale that went bad in the fridge…. I own a commercial
dehydrator and I have not used it in over 2 years. Well, here is the
update…. I brought it out today thanks for kicking me into gear. I will
be adding a video and showing it to you…. 🙂
Are you using fruit roll sheets or clean a screens?
Where’s the recipe for the bars shown in your opening??
