We are gluten free here. Would thickening with cornstarch or arrowroot powder work through the freeze dryer and re-hydrate thickened like the flour, or does the freezing nullify the thickening effect?
Will a carbon monoxide detector detect gas too?
Looks wonderful. Please post your beef stew recipe, I don't remember seeing it on Red Rose Homestead. Love this new channel.
This looks amazing! We just got our fd a little over a month ago so we’re still experimenting. I dont have a pressure cooker but would love to know how you prepare ground beef for the freeze dryer. I’ve tried boiling-gross. Rinsing, we have a septic system so I don’t want all the fat in the tank. Thank you!
I very much appreciate all you have shared with us on both of your channels! I have learned so much! What freeze drier do you use?
Love the new channel. Thanks Another freeze drying channel “school reports” is a favorite. I struggled with knowing if the food I He weighs the trays after the cycle and then adds 2 additional hours. If no appreciable weight loss everything is good to go. If continued significant weight loss, reload and repeat. He follows food safety and is very good at explaining his approach with lots of details.
Oh boy, oh boy!!! I'm so excited about your wonderful new channel
Thank you so much, great video. I love my freeze dryer, worth every penny. I noticed that you do not put O2 absorbers into your jars. Do you think they are helpful for long term storage?
This content is exactly the type of thing I was hoping to see here. You guys are the best. Thanks so much Pam, and Jim..
I am so excited for the future of this channel and your other one. So many great things going on. Loved this video. Cheers 🇨🇦🌷
I’ve seen a few freeze dryer channels that are vacuum sealing their jars in the harvest right (some are doing their Mylar bags that way as well) and on the channel Retired at 40- Live.Life.Simple he has tray dividers that allow you to pour your food onto the try, put in the divider and in the end you have equally portioned servings for storage. My freeze dryer just showed from the vendor so hope to be able to try some of your recipes soon!
Beef stew is another favorite meal of mine. That's a great meal to have while camping! Great video and Tfs! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜😎
Would love to hear more about the freeze drying process. Maybe a walk through of which settings you use and how you decide how long it will take to freeze dry. Haven't gotten my freeze dryer yet but I'm in the queue. Thanks! Great video!
I was going to ask why you checked them for dampness. Glad to see that it occurred so I would not skip this process.
Pam, when the food is not completely dried, you can hit the little Leaf on the screen to scroll through the cycles until you get to the More Drying time"… your pump will do a cooling first then it will continue with the final dry again…. that way you won't have to mess with the dehydrator and cleaning more trays. great video! I'm loving this channel.
Love the new site! So proud of you two!!
Hahaha. I can't do the drying stuff but I wanted to be part of it all, so I made the stew for our evening meal coming up in 3 hours. Interesting to see the tomato paste in the stew. That is new to me so it will be interesting to taste. I will drop some dumpling mix in at the end. Freezing cold here today.
Thanks for allowing us to be part of your adventure. I really appreciate it.
Great idea! Looks delicious.
That looks so delish!
i add 12 hours extra dry time set to add to my regular freeze dryer batch time. That's always enough to keep going if it's inconvenient to package when the regular batch is done. (if it stops during work or when sleeping)
Miss Pam, Could one alternatively dehydrate your beef stew?
I love this new channel as much as the other. I am not a trailblazer by any means, but I do have a freeze dryer, and because I have a food allergy (corn), I take my own food anywhere I go. These Ideas are very welcome. Thank you!
Thanks 👍so far all I do in my FD is single items. I'm worried about rehydrating meals. I'm thinking about the noodles that we can't can, like the stroganoff they sell in prepper food plants.
Adding baking soda to meat is an old Chinese technique called velveting. It tenderizes and jucifies! Meat is traditionally marinated with baking soda for 10-15 minutes, then breaded and/or fried. Thanks for the videos.
👍👍👍👍👍
Yummy. Reminds me of campers stew at our camp outs. Cornbread & cherry cobbler for desert. All cook on the fire.
For folks who don’t want to or can’t bother with a full kitchen, that stew is perfect to portion into small Mylar bags. All ya need is a kettle to boil water. Add to Mylar bag, eat out of bag.
Reuse Mylar bags to stow used tp. Do not mix up bags. 😁
Nice, I have HR I’ll need to do this. Thank you for the video.
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Looks Yum. 😋 What a Brilliant idea for taking Camping.
TFS TG, & take care. ❤🙂🐶
