I cooked a cheeseburger using ground beef that was three-years-old! The meat I used on “The Lockdown Burger” was freeze-dried almost three years ago here …

    So, freeze-drying is a process that takes food into a very deep freeze under a vacuum, which creates temps of about -50ΒΊF. While under this deep freeze/vacuum heat elements turn on over the food, which causes the water inside of the food to evaporate. The end result is preserved food that does not need refrigeration and lasts up to 25 years.

    Hey Greg, much love from the UK. You’re again proving this is one of the best channels on YouTube. I have a challenge for you if you’re up for it? There’s this burger chain in London called Patty & Bun. They do this awesome burger called the Ari Gold burger. You up for the challenge?

    That burger bun reminds me of the films we'd see in school as a kid where they would show 'space food' that astronauts would eat. I think they'd prefer your brisket chile burger up there πŸ™‚

    Cool video, reminded me of those MRE I use to eat in the Air Force. They were all good, some better than others. The dehydrated pork patty was the worst, dry, chalky, looking like light colored pork rinds. it was vacuumed packed. Watching your video made me realize I should of hydrated that patty. Great looking 3 year old burger!

    Thanks for the cool cook. And good advice at the end: be serious, be safe, but also be sane. No need to shave the quarantine goatee til things are back to normal!

    This freeze drying thing is quite interesting. I'll bet the hatch chiles were tasty too! Changing subjects, I bought a tri-tip at Wal-Mart yesterday and followed your recipe on page 29 of your excellent Sous Vide BBQ book. It was indescribable and just amazing. I seared it on my Blackstone griddle and it was just perfect. For anyone who's leaving comments, order this great book from Amazon.

    Hey Greg – Try freezing the bun before you vacuum seal it – it will not compress as much – hardly at all, actually, as long as you stop the vacuum process before it sucks out too much air.
