Freeze drying preserves more food value that either dehydrating or regular canning and is so fun to do. You can either vacuum seal the finished product or seal …
I enjoyed this video. Your description of the onions and peppers are the same as I described them. I'm not crazy about them fd. Nor am I crazy about carrots and potatoes, they to are spongy. Hope you figure a work around. Never thought of freeze drying already dehydrated foods. That's a must try. Enjoy your new tool.
I would really like to know if you ever try to seal your Weck jars in the freeze dryer, how they turn out. We are still waiting for our FD but I would like to use my Weck jars for short term storage.
To figure out the reconstitute ratio, you may want weight the items after they are processed, chopped etc, then freeze dry them. After they are done weigh them again and add measured water until you’ve gotten the item back to it’s original weight. That may help you to create a serving size suggestion and water ratio. Love you vids
40%!!! I had no idea canning preserved so poorly!
On the cheese. You need to put your water in a spray bottle and only spray it with water, you'll see it rehydrate and come back to cheese without being wet…
Absolutely the best canning videos. Very reliable videos. Rose teaches you with educational experience from a science background! We love you also Jim.
Your oil less pump looks a lot different than mine. Mine is 4 yrs old
Very interesting. What I'm needing to know. Rescently exploring freeze drying. Recent subscriber. Can you use the dried meats/ fruits/ veggies as a beef jerky type trail mix? Congrats on the new Freeze dryer, Excited to see how this works out and what all you can do with it. Blessings!
I'm excited to see Kelvin in action. I've been wanting one forever but was turned off by the cost. It's good to see how excited you are about it, and I can't wait to see more videos.
Maybe we can find a way to modify your lyophilizer and start bottling live viruses!! Just trying to be funny, kind of a pharmacological joke!! I’ve spent a lot of time working with them. We loved the video it looks like a great investment. Thanks for sharing your information.
Excellent video!! So excited to see more. We see lots of advertisements for "Flash Freeze" products (like fruit or berries). Is that the same thing as freeze drying? The advertisements claim that it preserves the nutritional value, similar to what you said in this video.
Love your videos, Hope you enjoy doing them as much as we enjoy watching. I learn so much from your presentations,,
I loved doing you pressure canning stews. My father 94YO sweetie, and I are alone and I have some invalid issues so cooking is sometimes a problem but now, when I have a good period, thanks to your inspiration I am able to do some bottles of stew and when I'm having a bad few days we can just open a jar and warm up a delicious meal, home made , no defrosting, no microwaving . Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy the freeze drying too I just got one 2 days ago and am on my bread test. Here in Australia we are only just hearing of this method but
This looks so fun. Please show more…really interesting. I can't think of another way to save avocados.
As always, you bring physical and earth science principles and their practical applications into our daily lives. Thank you.
What brand and size is Kelvin?
Thankyou for your honest review
Hi from Australia. Canning, and freeze drying isn’t as common here as it is in the US, I am just a beginner, but I have learned so much from watching you’re videos, you are brilliant, and my favourite go to, for canning advice. Thank you for all you do.
RoseRed, would you consider doing a video speaking to the shelf stability of packaged foods. We have something going right now that may/will increase food prices maybe by double digits.
Specifically, knowledge about how long pre package foods (unopened/cool dark pantry) Condiments like Ketchup, Mayonnaise, mustard, etc. How long would you keep them safely past the marked Used by Date on the package? I would trust your best guess on this way before I'd trust 99% of the information out there on the internet! TIA.
Is that the name of the machine. I would like to look into one of tbese
Awesome
Congrats on your new purchase… one question: in baking, how would you know the egg equivalency? Thanks!
I am so excited for you. I am trying to save up to get one. I have been wanting one for years & I think over time it would pay for itself😊
Freezing cooked Deli meats? Can you do this and how long can they be in the freezer?
Oooo, how cool!!
Just bought one! 10 weeks for delivery. You’re inspirational for another person “of a certain age.”
Cannot wait to get one of these! Thank you for the education and trial and errors!
You asked for ideas for the freeze dryer. You spokrof your grated cheese being textured. I dried all grated cheese, then put it into my blender and ran till I got a small granule type. It works wonders for casseroles, hot sandwiches, omelets etc.like if youf mac and cheese turns too runny, a tablespoon or ? Will tighten it up. My son is a chef and he loves it. Now .I do all flavors of cheese. Then same for myshrooms. After the blending of dried food. I yse it like an herb. I have several texture finicky eaters and wont eat mushrooms. They love the powdered. I use it in stews, gravies, omelets,rubs on meat for oven. One thing. Those mushrooms are strong, so use sparingly till you find your likes. Ive gad mine about a year.
Cant wait until April , mine is coming
Red Rose, can you speak to the correct way to "freeze" raw hamburger? Can you leave it in the initial packaging that you get from the store, and place it in to freezer quality zip lock? Or are you better off taking it out of the store package, wrap in syran wrap, then into freezer zip lock? How long do you recommend it to kept frozen before you should defrost and eat? TIA.
