How about vacuum storage bags; does that reduce the bacteria/mold growth and preserve some dehydrated foods better?
I watch you! Sorry
I don’t support Facebook
I have frozen all my tomatoes from this year's crop. They take up too much space in my freezers. Is it too late to thaw them so I can dehydrate them?? I plan to dehydrate in my oven. After I dehydrate, I plan to make them into a powder. Saw a video to make dehydrated tomatoes into a powder. Any suggestions???
What about using desiccants for absorbing moisture? Would that work?
Banana is a herb too..
Would silica gel work on dried fruit. Everyone talks about moisture but I never hear anyone mention them.
What is the best food processor to buy. I dehydrate all year but I think a food processor will help along the way.
Yeah, I always dehydrate so long that I am absolutely sure that there is no moisture, usually like double the time anything calls for. No point in taking any chances. Like you said it takes the time it takes. Then I add 12 hours lol no moisture in my food
I am new to dehydrating food, I tried to join your group on facebook, but it is private. I am waiting on a request.
When storing in an air tight jar do we have to put in oxygen absorbers????
Even at 64 yrs,,, I am learning much fro you!! Thank you. good job,,,
What the heck? No one ever told me about conditioning! Thank you, I learned a lot by watching your video.
Can you make deer Jerky out of home pressure canned meat.?
Well I was thinking, banana is a berry? It's a herb !!!!
So I bought my first dehydrator today. Would love to do citrus to have with Gin & Tonic 🤣. I’m sure once I start I will do more. My husband wants to try to do beef jerky. Love your advice. Thank you
All great tips! I grow quite a few herbs and have for years now, and I either sun dry herbs, or do so passively inside of paper towels, sometimes after mostly dry putting them in paper bags to continue drying so I can label them. Another thing I do is then vacuum seal them once dry. You can use a coffee grinder to make them powered, too. Twine and cheesecloth are useful to drying things, too!
Excellent video with fantastic value. I just purchased your e-book. Thank you!
Do you need to condition everything that you dehydrate? And if so is it a week you said that you condition it
Cutest profile pic you go girl😉
I was thinking if you dehydrated frozen vegetables and vacuum sealed them they were good long term. Is that true or not? I bought a dehydrator for that purpose.
Hello please i need your help, i've been working on a project, trying to dehydrate Paypaya till it get crispy, something like Papaya Chips, but all to no avail, it keeps coming out like a dried leather, i dont know what am doing wrong 😭
Please if you know any crisping agent i can add before placing the Pawpaw slice in the dehydrator , or any pretreatment before dehydrating the pawpaw slice that will make it come out crispy, i will appreciate 💯
I have a new wave bravo XL with dehydrate option. Will it work good or should I buy a real dehydrator?

Hi. I’m a brand new subscriber and I have a question about pressure canning. On the 4th of July I canned 25 lb. of ground beef in pint jars. I added some fat drippings to the jars. It settled with 1 inch of head space. How long will this last? I heard someone today say that fat goes rancid with freeze drying. Will it go rancid in my canning jars?
When conditioning, if you need to dehydrate again How do you know how much longer to do that?
Question? What about air removal from jars and oxygen packets?
Question… I am brand new to dehydrating, mine will be delivered next week. I just got to the point of conditioning, good information, thank you. So, Say I find with my plums or oranges that I find a speck of mold, could I pour rum or brandy over the fruit, fill the jar and set it aside for later enjoyment? Sounds good to me 🙂
o.k. Im new to dehydrating, I do mainly fruits. Could someone please explain how to use fruit fresh to keep fruit from turning brown PLEASE? sprinl
klin power on and mixing it w/ fruit sure didnt work very well! LOL Thx, Nora in Arizona high country.
Ok dehydrated my first blueberries yeaterday . These were frozen from a friends bushes . My home is humid , Mississippi . I dehydrated at 145 for 14 hours . The juice was underneath the berries and was sticky . Should i had or am i able to put them back in to complete the drying ?
My bananas are still chewy . they feel dry but aren't (silly I know) Can I put them back in my dehydrator and try to dry them more ?
I have NO extra space really. I need a small dehydrator. Is there anything you can recommend that’s not gigantic? I can sit on my dryer when not in use but already keep my instant pot and crock pot there to give an idea of how little space.
New subscriber, I am loving all the information.
Is it ok to put banana in ziploc bag once they are done? Should I freeze those bag or just keep it on my shell. I just want to keep them as long as I can..thank you for your time, your videos are great. Sorry if my english is not perfect, i'm still learning english ahah.
Thank u for an amazing video I don't see the link for the gloves though
I like your videos. Direct to the point, no long stories, just great info
I just found your channel!! Subbed and learning so much from you!!! Thank you!!! I’m new to this. I have some frozen green peppers from my garden. Do I blanche them from frozen before dehydrating them? 🤔
Any thoughts about best grinders. I heard coffee grinders are best. Also what brand do people like.
I gave up dehydrating venison as they end up nothing like store jerky
