Love the idea of dehydrating pickled jalapeños. And I know all too well 'pepper-spraying' yourself from the 1st time I powdered our chilli. That was around 20 years ago... and I still feel that lesson!!! 😳🤯🤣
G'day! Ouch. that's one to remember and to learn from! I dehydrated almost 4kg of onions the other day for onion powder and forgot to move the dehydrator to the garage first. My wife and some of the kids all thought someone with really bad body odour was walking around the house. 😂 Take care. Daz.
G'day Sue. Yes, indeed and I hope to try to experiment and get a collection happening if I can find more time. I do enjoy dehydrating so much. Thanks very much and take care Sue. Daz.
G'day Robert. Wow, that is quite a compliment and thanks so much. I absolutely love dehydrating and then using the foods in so many ways and I am really happy to have been able to share some of my experience with yourself and many others. Thanks very much Robert and all the best. Daz.
Hello! Just came over from Mennonite Farmhouse and working my way through the Dehydrating Collaborative! Awesome video! You were making my mouth water talking about the veg and pepper powders! Making those soon. First I'm going to dehydrate some of my Cowboy Candy! Thank you for the great ideas! Looking forward to binge watching your videos as a new subscriber. Blessings from Holland Ohio USA🥰🌻🐛
I’m growing cabbage !!!! I am so gonna save this video !! Little tip for u with ur cabbage … u can use the leaves n literally wrap the leaves around your feet, your feet will cook the cabbage lol (throw out after 😜) but it will take out the toxins from your body 😉🌱💫👍🏽 Daz ur awesome … thanks my friend !
If you get the chopped, frozen broccoli it dehydrates much more evenly because the stem pieces are small. It's more suited for soups and casseroles when done this way rather than fresh eating. It's still very versatile. Good in mac n' cheese too.
Okay I discovered your channel yesterday, and that is twice in 24 hours you have raved about dehydrated tomatoes and jalapenos. So I guess I need to give those a try! Because there is not much better in this world than tomatoes and peppers.
G'day Trista. Hah, hah, yes, I'm a bit of a fan. 🤦♂️😊 Back when I was a young chef, we did not have dehydrators, so we would dry things out over night in a big commercial oven and I just loved it and I experimented so much with dehydrated tomatoes in particular, so I think it is something that has never left me. Thanks so much for watching my videos and good luck with yours. I do hope you enjoy them and let me know how you go if you have the time. All the best. Daz.
G'day my friend. I enjoy this process so much and it was really nice to have the opportunity to share this with everyone. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do and slowly, but surely, with it all adding up. 😊 All the best and take care. Daz.
Ooh, dehydrated grapes 🍇 very interesting 🤔 I am the same with not doing fiddly things Daz. But you can’t go past the tomatoes and then put them in oil… omg yumm!! xx Cathi xx 😘
G'day Cathi. Yes, I must increase the tomato production this season. I took a chance on Amish paste for the first time this year as my main crop and they were so hard to grow. It was terrible. All the best and take care Cathi. Daz.
U have taught me sooooo much . Back here to learn more 😊 What a cool collaboration 👍🏽👍🏽 Terrys gonna buy me a meat grinder AND a dehydrator… I can’t wait ! It’s like a whole new world learning how to prep 😉 Grateful for this video Daz Thanks for the tip of grinding my jalapeño’s . 😉👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks my friend 😊
G'day Vicky. Oh it's my pleasure. I'm really fortunate to have met people such as yourself and we are all learning from each other and also bringing happiness to each others lives. It sounds soppy, but it's true. Thanks for being you and that is great news on the grinder and dehydrator. 👍 Take care. Daz.
I made fermented sriracha and once the sauce went through the sieve before bottling I powdered the skins and seeds. it makes a great spicy seasoning. No waste!
G'day. That sounds fantastic. 👍 I'm so sorry for the slow reply. I have been out of action for a week with that dreaded thing that is everywhere and I'm finally able top move around a bit today. It was great having you in my live stream last week by the way. Thanks very much. All the best. Daz.
G'day Pamela. Oh no!!!! I am so sorry. Surprised I did not do the same actually, as my kids and I discovered how good they are and we must have put that machine through its paces. 😂 All the best and take care. Daz.
G'day Catherine. Yes, the celery powder is especially good as I can use everything. I will dry all of it, including the leaves and grind them all down. I hope you enjoy the powders as much as I do Catherine. I love dehydrating! Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
I loved you video . I also love to dehydrate. A favourite of mine is potato, sweet potato,and beetroot. All bagged up together. I love it thrown into a savoury mince.
G'day! Ah, that's a great idea. I have mixes for soups and some basic ones for stews, but we make savoury mince and I never thought to have some dehydrated ingredients put aside. Especially as I pressure can minced beef here. Thanks so much for watching and for taking time to comment with such a good idea that I overlooked. All the best, Daz.
G'day. Thanks very much for dropping by. I really do enjoy dehydrating and it was fun to share it in this collaboration. Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
G'day Joanne. Thanks so much for your kind words. The kitchen is very much our happy place, as my wife Emma loves to cook too and I have a couple of her amazing recipes here on the channel actually. Thanks very much and take care Joanne. Daz.
Wonderful video! I have dehydrated food off and on, for years. I dehydrated herbs… saving money by using my own dehydrated herbs instead of store bought. Dehydrated celery is so awesome! I just love the knock my socks off flavor punch of dehydrated celery! I dehydrated apples… love them. Dehydrated apricots… they are good, but can’t compare to commercial because of the chemicals they use to prevent darkening. I dehydrated grapes… a lot of trouble. I made my own “cayenne” powder with some of my dehydrated peppers… turned out very flavorful and not too hot (I used a mix of the peppers I had grown). I dehydrated tomatoes and enjoy eating them as a crunchy/leathery snack. But all along, I preferred canning. I eat salsa on just about everything, and I put canned tomatoes in just about everything! This year, after canning so many jars, I had no space on my shelf. So I focused on dehydrating. This year I dehydrated lots more peppers, carrots, corn, green peas and mixed veg. I also did the parsley and cilantro. I used to only use the dehydrated items as separate ingredients in recipes. This year, for the very first time, I assembled meals in a jar! I love them and am looking for more meal in a jar ideas! I’ve been watching other content creators show how they use pepper powder, so I’m going to grow more pepper varieties and dehydrate them. I bought frozen broccoli, but haven’t dehydrated it yet. I’ve never tried dehydrating cabbage!!! All in all, I’m really sold on the dehydrating, powdering and also assembling meals in a jar. You’ve inspired me to dehydrate pickled jalapeños and I am eager to powder some celery! I’d love to see some of your meal in a jar recipes! Thanks again! Have a great day!
G'day my friend. Oh what a wonderful reply to my video. Thanks so much. I would love to visit your kitchen as you have so many wonderful items and ideas. As you can see, I do enjoy dehydrating so much and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share it in this collaboration. Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
Daz, This is your best video to date! Well done! How did I know you were going to mention the tomatoes and jalapeños lol? That’s so smart to add the parchment paper to the food saver bags. Oh I wish I could send you some Celery powder. I have so much of it here that I grew myself! Cheers, LeAnne
G'day LeAnne. Thanks mate. You are my biggest inspiration to keep on going and I am so happy to have been a part of this collaboration. Thanks so much for everything LeAnne. You are an amazing friend. Get well soon. Daz.
Great video, Daz! Sure do appreciate all the ideas you gave on using your dehydrated items. Although it got better finding jars and lids here in the US, we went just last week to get jars at our usual place, and they were out of pint and quart jars and didn't have any extra lids. So I'm thinking your onto something by dehydrating so much!
G'day Julie. Thanks so much for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. 😊 As much as I would love some new jars, I just can't bring myself to pay about $95.00 for a dozen pint jars. 😳 Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
I love jalapeño powder. I put a damp kitchen towel over the top of the blender while grinding and then just let it set a while to let the dust settle. You have so many good ideas to try. I like to zest and juice lemons then freeze in ice cube trays so I always have some on hand for recipes. I never thought about dehydrating lemons. I need to try that one for sure!
G'day Heidi. I have been told about a damp tea towel or paper towel before and do you think I remember... 🤦♂️😊 Yes! I used to use ice cube trays too for lemons and a few other tings actually, but I am now finding just how much space I can save with dehydrating and there is just something about lemon powder for instance that I just makes me smile. All the best and take care Heidi. Daz.
I hate that you guys can't get jars right now but I love the idea of having the sealed bags in an emergency bag. Great idea! I totally agree bout the grinding of jalapenos. I have to do mine outside in the garage with the door up. I learned that the hard way sadly lol. I'm the same with broccoli. Such a good video Daz, thanks so much for sharing all this with us.
G'day. Oh, thanks so much. I had to record this 3 times due to a failing memory card and then I was still editing until 1am and uploaded at 3:30am. So relieved when I was done. 😊 It has been so frustrating trying to get jars. Postage is the biggest problem as it would cost so much to have a box or 2 shipped. Even Amazon are charging about 120-140 dollars for a dozen jars shipped. Thanks so much for watching and take care. Daz.
Thats’s good info for the broccoli. I like to chop up the stalk to eat as a side with dinner anyway. Maybe I can just cut the florets for dehydrating and save the stalk for the fresh eating… I’m definitely getting a dehydrator this year!
G'day Dani. Oh you are going to LOVE IT! Definitely try the broccoli for yourself and see what you think, as I have seen other people say that they think it is good. All the best and take care. Daz.
Love this. We dehydrate chilli, dill, basil and a lot of herbs. Christmas time we dehydrate orange slices and dip them in chocolate. We make leek powder as a stock.....put it in mashed potatoes - brilliant.
G'day mate. That sounds great and I'm DEFINITELY going to do the chocolate oranges at Christmas mate. Love that! That leek powder would be incredible too. Good stuff mate. Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
G'day. You are very welcome. I also have a dedicated video on my channel just for dehydrating jalapenos too. it does cover a lot of what I mentioned though. All the best and take care. Daz.
My first time on your channel. Definitely subscribed. Loved your video. A sidenote: Quite a while ago, My husband, our three young children & I lived in Grovedale, outside of Geelong. Love it the area. Our job brought us back to the US, but we all have the fondiesy memories of our life there.
G'day. Oh thanks so much and it's nice to meet you. Grovedale! Wow, we used to go there and a few other places in the region when I was a kid. Have not been there in decades and I bet it's changed so much! Thanks very much and all the best. Daz.
Brilliant!!! I used to dry grapes on the vine in the sun way less effort lol. I'm loving this cos Tanny just bought me my Christmas pressie from last year and it just so happens to be a dehydrator lol I'm so going through the freezer and emptying all the half bags of veg that have been sitting there for ages unused into it. Thanks chook :D :D :D Have an awesome one hun xox
G'day Bloo. I do enjoy dehydrating so much and it does make vegies very interesting with the things you can do. Thanks for watching and all the best. Daz.
Great video daz and lots of good information! I started dehydrating tomatoes and cilantro so far. Did the skins and seeds and made them into tomato powder….. thanks for sharing!
G'day Lisa. YES! That is awesome! I love reading things like this from everyone. That is such a great way to get the most out of your tomatoes. Good for you! All the best, Daz.
Wow great job Daz..we are back watching again after a hectic time so look forward to seeing lots more of your enthusiasm !Take care you and the family👍
G'day Wayne and Lynn. I have not been commenting much, but I'm always watching (I did not mean to sound like a stalker there 😂 ). You two have been a huge inspiration for me and I appreciate you so much. I was a bit nervy the other day when you were camping and snake spotting. All the best guys. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen haha we cant see you as a stalker at all Daz...and commenting does take time as well as trying to watch everyone’s videos !!!👍God bless !
G'day. Oh that sounds great! I really do enjoy hydrating and all the options it gives me. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and all the best. Daz.
G'day Jenn. Oh my!!!!! 🤦♂️ That would have cleared the sinuses real well. I'm glad too that you lived to tell about it. 😁 Thanks very much and take care Jenn. Daz.
Thank you very much for your really good video today. I love tomatoes and your idea about putting them on the burgers or sandwich in the sauce or on the sauce I think I would like a lot. Also glad you mentioned the broccoli stems. My family absolutely loves broccoli but in order to have enough we would have to have a dedicated freezer for broccoli and maybe more than one. May reconsider this for this year I was actually going to try it, thanks for all you do enjoy watching your videos and your lives
G'day Diana. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. I do recommend that you try the broccoli at least once to see what you think, as it's not terrible and it may well be the way I do it, as I have seen others say that they enjoy it. The smaller stuff that came frozen was a bit better. Thanks for your kind words Diana and take care. Daz.
I enjoyed this video a lot. It sounds like your natural voice. You may want to try freezing your grapes. The kids will likely love them that way. I do. I eat them with yogurt which quickly freezes like icecream but healthier. I’m hoping for a bumper pumpkin yield this year so will remember to dehydrate some into powder.
G'day! Thanks so much for your kind words and of course, I thank you too for watching the video and taking the time to comment. Good luck with your pumpkin powder. I absolutely love adding it to breads and scones here. Great idea with freezing the grapes and my vines are looking to produce beautiful seedless grapes this year, so I am planning on freezing some and making thick smoothies with them in the heat of Summer. The kids will love it. They'll also enjoy the frozen ones by themselves on a hot day too! All the best. Daz.
G'day. Oh it was so much fun. As you can see, I do enjoy dehydrating so much and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share it in this collaboration. Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
G'day Ronda. I just love playing with taste and textures and dehydrating helps with that. Glad I can share these kinds of things with you and good luck! All the best. Daz.
G'day Gayle. Thanks very much Gayle. I really do enjoy my dehydrating and I was so happy to be invited to this collaboration. All the best and take care. Daz.
Great video Daz! I was wondering where you were able to buy a processer that grinds food into a powder? I dehydrate lots of foods but Ive never made powdered goods before and was wanting to try :)
G'day. I use a coffee and spice grinder that works similar to this one on the Amazon store... amzn.to/3Rrxt4b (That is an affiliate link to be fully transparent). These are the cheapest option, but you cannot do big batches in one go. I also use my high speed blender from time to time, if I have big quantities, but be aware that the course ingredients can cause the clear plastic on the container to go cloudy and possibly discolor. Not much you can do about that, other than having a container on the high speed blender made of glass. If you don't mind me saying, I have affiliate links to a high speed blender via and Australian store and a USA based store. There is a code that will give you a discount when entering it at checkout. The company will also give me a small percentage of the ptofit just to be transparent. The Australian link is the actual model that I use and yes, the clear plastic has a slight blur on the bottom inch. 🦘 - Aussie link - froothie.com.au/products/the-optimum-8200-high-speed-blender?a_aid=Daz&a_bid=125da13c 🌎 - For my friends shopping in the USA, the powerful G2.6 can be seen here... www.froothie.com/?a_aid=Daz&a_bid=88cec05f 🛒 - Used the code Daz15 at checkout to get $15.00 off the price. I hope that at least leads you in the right direction and if you do buy something via one of my links, I do thank you in advance! All the best. Daz.
All great items, friend. I must admit, I’ve not tried the cabbage or celery as of yet, but I’m making note to buy those items when they go on sale for holidays; cabbage for St Patty’s Day and celery forThanksgiving… my dehydrator is going to be busy !
I used to own a dehydrator for fruits and such long ago, then lost it in a move somewhere. I just bought another one but I've yet to use it for fruits LOL. They make excellent cookie dryers if you're waiting for different levels of icing to set LOL. Cheers Daz! You're almost at 2k!
Wow thanks so much for this video, so many ideas. I’m just new at dehydrating and it’s my first time in a long time having a vege garden, I’ve done tomatoes and they are so good, I’ve done zucchini’s as well, I’v had heap come from my garden, I’ve left some in flakes and powdered some and excited to use it. Frozen vege hydrated I’m defiantly going to do, this well free up some much need space in the freezer. Im new to your channel this is just what I needed so thanks.
G'day Denise. Thanks so much for your kind words and that sounds fantastic. I absolutely love dehydrating and all the things you can do with the foods and I really did enjoy making this video. Yes! We have a big family of 9 here and dehydrating frozen mixed vegies, saves us so much space. Enjoy your dehydrating Denise and feel free to get in touch if you ever have any questions. All the best. Daz.
This is a great video Daz! I loved your ideas about how to use the products, not just listing the products you like. I will be making ground pepper next year. I'll remember the mask! Cheers & thanks for sharing!
G'day Rich. Very nice mate and thanks very much. Enjoyed listening to you with Eric and Monica today. Have the window up to watch the parts I missed, later tonight. All the best and take care. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen Glad you saw it. I poked a little fun your way on the Live event! Love your channel! Keep it going!! Cheers from Minnesota to you!!
G'day Inca. Thanks so much my friend. 💚 You guys are doing really well over there too I see. I don't comment as much these days as i have been a bit down, but I do like to sit back and watch friends such as yourself, having a great time. All the best to yourself and the family Inca. Daz.
G'day guys. Oh it is so much fun and I guess you can see how much I enjoy it. It was hard to keep the video at this length, as I could have gone on for an hour about all the things to do. 🙄 Congratulations on making it to 1k by the way. You guys are just fantastic and it is well deserved and will only get bigger good on you. I apologise for no commenting on your videos. I've been struggling a bit here, but I am watching. The video on the perennials and annuals was fantastic and I was just watching one yesterday where you were digging along the drive and I'm pretty sure it was Happy Valley seeds that you had too. I used them on my last order and they were great. Thanks and all the best guys. Daz.
Good video. Yeah I made mistake of powdering my home grown dehydrated jalapenos without mask, husband was laughing at me, was choking and sinuses cleared real quick!! Try tomato powder, it's awesome. Think tomato paste on steroids. Dehydrated watermelon is like candy, but I wont do it unless it's going because it doesn't yield a lot due to water content.
G'day. Oh wow! Thanks so much for the tip on the watermelon. I have not done that before and my ones are just ripening here in Australia, so your great tip is timed so well. 😊 I will thank you in advance from my children too.😊 Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
This was an excellent video and so informative! Daz thanks for sharing about all the things you dehydrate and WHY you would or would not do again. I agree tomatoes! And celery! Yum. I did celery in small slices and they were amazing to add to recipes. I like the points you made regarding store bought jalapeños and dehydrating them and saving fresh ones for other recipes. Practical. Love the powder idea also. I love dehydrating. And the vacuum sealing idea is cool. Did I see you put a bit of paper in your mason jars also?
G'day Lisa. This was rather rushed, due to limited time, so I did miss a few points. I think you might be refereeing to the oxygen absorbers in the jar, on top of the food. Because I buy them in bulk, it is quite affordable to put on in every jar that I have for long term storage. I don't do it to the jars I open on a regular basis, but with those ones, I take them over and vac seal them again as soon as I have taken out what I need. Thanks very much Lisa. I enjoy this process a lot and was so happy to be able to share my experience in the collaboration. Take care. Daz.
G’day Daz, can you share how/what you use/do with pumpkin powder, please? I have over 30 butternut pumpkins growing and am looking for ideas on how to use, share and store them. Happy gardening/food processing/etc. Cheers, Sandra
G'day Sandra. Pumpkin powder is great in scones, bread loaves and rolls, pasta, adding it to soups and stews... One good thing about it, it that you have to dehydrate a lot of butternuts to grind into a powder, so that will burn through them. With storing the butternuts, I leave them in the sun for about 2 weeks after picking to cure a bit and then store then in a dry and dark place and they last for months. I hope that help and please don't hesitate to get in touch. All the best. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen Thanks Daz, I’m going to write those down in my recipe folder. My dehydrator will be going around the clock when the pumpkins are ready 👍🏼😃
You started with tomatoes. When you followed it up with Jalapeno, I immediately thought of Pizza 🤣. Hmmm... Jalapeno pepper spray. How do you dehydrate them Daz? With a small backyard, I don't think I'd get to a point where I have so much of one thing. I have been considering freeze dryer.
G'day mate. Hah, hah, yes. Pizza doe sure! Yum! I have a 9 tray dehydrator and they do well in that and dried, but the smell can be strong, so I open all the windows. I also buy vegies when really cheap, so I can dehydrate and store them. A freeze dryer is my number 1 wish, but it's something like $7000.00 dollars to import one. Not going to happen. Thanks very much and take care. Daz.
Nice channel Daz! I used to live in Aus pre first lockdown but now in nz. Sad to hear what you are saying about ball jars but to be expected. I assume it will be as bad in nz. Any thought on what good and not good prices for them would be now in your opinion so i can get the right prices if i can.
G'day Ashleigh. It's nice to meet you. That is such a hard question, as what one person would pay, another may not, if you know what I mean... As an example here... I was paying around 30 dollars for a box of 12 pint jars (Ball brand) including delivery with Amazon Australia, or in stores like Big W. Now Amazon are charging about 85 dollars for the same ones shipped from the USA and some local sellers had old stock and were charging around 100 dollars. For me, it's way too much as I can recycle old jam and pasta sauce jars for water bathing and I can dehydrate and store in vac sealed bags. If I had no jars at all, I might consider the high cost for essential pressure canning items. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you Ashleigh, but things are just so strange and somewhat difficult with what has been going on the last couple of years. Please feel free to ask any further questions. All the best and take care. Daz.
G'day Katie. Surprisingly, no. Well, not for me. I drain them first and give them a rinse on a colander before dehydrating. I tend to use them on burgers, steak sandwiches and pizza for instance, so I generally notice that nice little bit of chew they still have and the kick of heat. I sometimes notice the jalpeno taste itself, but definitely not the pickling liquid, which is quite pleasing. Thanks very much and take care Katie. Daz.
G'day. Ohhhhh..... I have not though of that and it sounds really interesting. I am going to look this up now. Thanks so much and sorry for the slow reply. Some comments are only showing up now. All the best and take care. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen I thought of another good recipe instead of just grape pie try rhubarb raisin pie! It's delicious and if you let the two simmer on the stove for a bit then the really plump up
Love all the ideas Daz I watched to see if you had the pumpkin powder you mentioned you loved but now I’m keen on trying jarred jalapeño I think would be very tasty after being in the vinegar etc I collect the silica satchel from electronics packaging but have not seen them on sale in bulk do you buy online or from a store? I also use in a tub of stored seeds
G'day. My next video is me making the butternut powder, as I had so many comments on it. 👍😊 No, not the silica from electronics. Definitely do not use them. If you look on Ebay for instance, you will see 'oxygen absorbers" for food and they are very different in what is inside them. They come with different ratings which is like a 'strength' rating. That means that the bigger the container, the more of them or the higher the packet rating has to be. You also have to be careful not to use them with a lot of things, as any foods with moisture or oils still in them, can actually encourage the growth of botulism, when using these. They also turn salt and sugar in to hard bricks if stored with them. Once you open a bag of them, they will immediately start drawing on the air and will go bad if you do not seal them in an air tight container immediately. I might do a video on all this, as it can be a little intimidating and I and no expert though and still have a bit to learn myself. You definitely need to look at the right ones and which foods they can be stored with. All the best and take care, Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen thank you I’ve only used for seeds and my own projects so haven’t poisoned myself yet 😂 I had never thought of putting in vacuum bags like u did so I will look up online and make sure I get the correct ones you mentioned and only for dry products Thanks for the top tips mate Regards Neil
G'day Vro. I cannot vacuum seal jars other than the Ball branded jars at the moment wit the attachments from the Food Saver machine. I do however, wash and sanitize those jars, as well as others and will drop an oxygen absorber in with the dry goods and that will usually work. From what I understand though, you need to make sure the dried food has less than 10% moisture in it if using oxygen absorbers. Best to research that bit to know for absolute certainty. Thanks so much for watching and all the best. Daz.
G'day Stephanie. I do apologise for the slow reply. I have a blender and a food processor that I have been using, but the hard, dehydrated items are actually wearing a groove into the plastic of the food processor. Due to this, I am now looking at alternatives and I am hearing good things about coffee grinders, but i still need to research this more. I can only really afford to buy something once and for the long run, so i really want to make sure I get the right thing. Oh and with the powders, people tend to put them through a sieve. I do sometimes, but not that often as I generally do not mind the little bit of texture. I can always sieve the powder am I using for a specific recipe if I need to. I hope that helps and sorry again for the slow reply Stephanie. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen no problem on the slow reply! I’m so grateful that you provided your information. I have also been looking into the coffee grinders because my blender doesn’t seem to do a very good job.
hi I bought a large jar of roasted capcicums and would prefer to dehydrate them is this possible they are in a brine Also do you have a video on how to dehydrate foods etc ??
G'day Christina. You certainly could dehydrate capsicums in brine. I dehydrate jalapenos that are pickled in jars and I'm doing 3 jars this week actually. I have a few videos on dehydrating, how I do it, how I use them and store them and you can find my playlist here... ruclips.net/p/PLFsqA6VEo7F2rqESYF_1wcohZcOv8UksU I have a new dehydrating video coming out in a couple of weeks actually. Thanks very much and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions Christina. All the best. Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen morning Daz, and thank you for the quick reply appreciate.. did you see my email I sent after your live show the other day regarding other Australian youtubers that are doing channels on vegie gardening ?
@@poodlepup1 I got the message on Instagram and have sent a bunch of replies to that. Please feel free to get back to me if you would like more info. 😊
G'day! Great question. Carrots, cauli, broccoli and cabbage I will blanch as I believe it helps with the colour. In general, if I have a raw veggie from the garden, I will blanch it first. Onions, I don't though. Neither do I blanch capsicum (Bell pepper), chili or jalapenos. Frozen veggies I don't as they are blanched before frozen. I hope this helps and please feel free to get in touch with further questions. Daz.

Love the idea of dehydrating pickled jalapeños. And I know all too well 'pepper-spraying' yourself from the 1st time I powdered our chilli. That was around 20 years ago... and I still feel that lesson!!! 😳🤯🤣
G'day!
Ouch. that's one to remember and to learn from!
I dehydrated almost 4kg of onions the other day for onion powder and forgot to move the dehydrator to the garage first.
My wife and some of the kids all thought someone with really bad body odour was walking around the house. 😂
Take care.

Thanks very much Robert and all the best.
Daz.
Hello! Just came over from Mennonite Farmhouse and working my way through the Dehydrating Collaborative! Awesome video! You were making my mouth water talking about the veg and pepper powders! Making those soon. First I'm going to dehydrate some of my Cowboy Candy! Thank you for the great ideas! Looking forward to binge watching your videos as a new subscriber. Blessings from Holland Ohio USA🥰🌻🐛
So glad I found your channel. I am new toy gardening and dehydrating
G'day Kate.
It's nice to meet you and thanks very much for being here.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
I just love seeing what a chef dehydrates and why you would or wouldn't dehydrate again!
Thanks Daz
I’m growing cabbage !!!! I am so gonna save this video !!
Little tip for u with ur cabbage … u can use the leaves n literally wrap the leaves around your feet, your feet will cook the cabbage lol (throw out after 😜) but it will take out the toxins from your body 😉🌱💫👍🏽
Daz ur awesome … thanks my friend !
G'day.
Oh wow, I am so doing that with the cabbage leaves and thanks for the tip on throwing them, out after. 😂
Take care.
Daz.
If you get the chopped, frozen broccoli it dehydrates much more evenly because the stem pieces are small. It's more suited for soups and casseroles when done this way rather than fresh eating. It's still very versatile. Good in mac n' cheese too.
Wonderful sharing and healthy recipes .and awesome information .have lovely day my dear friend 🎉👍❤️
G'day MeyD 'sLife.
Thanks very much for being here and watching my video. I really do appreciate it.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
I love the fact that you included uses for each of the foods. Very informative. I will continue to follow you.
Very cool. I have to remember to dehydrate things before they go bad!
Okay I discovered your channel yesterday, and that is twice in 24 hours you have raved about dehydrated tomatoes and jalapenos. So I guess I need to give those a try! Because there is not much better in this world than tomatoes and peppers.
G'day Trista.
Hah, hah, yes, I'm a bit of a fan. 🤦♂️😊
Back when I was a young chef, we did not have dehydrators, so we would dry things out over night in a big commercial oven and I just loved it and I experimented so much with dehydrated tomatoes in particular, so I think it is something that has never left me.
Thanks so much for watching my videos and good luck with yours.
I do hope you enjoy them and let me know how you go if you have the time.
All the best.
Daz.
This is my first season dehydrating. I haven't had much but it's slowly adding up 🤩 Thanks for sharing what you like and don't like to dehydrate!
G'day my friend.
I enjoy this process so much and it was really nice to have the opportunity to share this with everyone.
I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do and slowly, but surely, with it all adding up. 😊
All the best and take care.
Daz.
I love STAWBERRYS in my cereal it makes it look worth more now i want blue berry's lol
Ooh, dehydrated grapes 🍇 very interesting 🤔 I am the same with not doing fiddly things Daz. But you can’t go past the tomatoes and then put them in oil… omg yumm!! xx Cathi xx 😘
G'day Cathi.
Yes, I must increase the tomato production this season.
I took a chance on Amish paste for the first time this year as my main crop and they were so hard to grow. It was terrible.
All the best and take care Cathi.
Daz.
U have taught me sooooo much . Back here to learn more 😊
What a cool collaboration 👍🏽👍🏽
Terrys gonna buy me a meat grinder AND a dehydrator… I can’t wait !
It’s like a whole new world learning how to prep 😉
Grateful for this video Daz
Thanks for the tip of grinding my jalapeño’s . 😉👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks my friend 😊
G'day Vicky.
Oh it's my pleasure.
I'm really fortunate to have met people such as yourself and we are all learning from each other and also bringing happiness to each others lives.
It sounds soppy, but it's true.
Thanks for being you and that is great news on the grinder and dehydrator. 👍
Take care.
Daz.
I am always very fascinated by your awesome videos! This one is no exception! I wish you a fantastic weekend! ❤️
G'day The High Dreams.
Thanks very much.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
I made fermented sriracha and once the sauce went through the sieve before bottling I powdered the skins and seeds. it makes a great spicy seasoning. No waste!
G'day.
That sounds fantastic. 👍
I'm so sorry for the slow reply.
I have been out of action for a week with that dreaded thing that is everywhere and I'm finally able top move around a bit today.
It was great having you in my live stream last week by the way. Thanks very much.
All the best.
Daz.
Great video. I burnt my dehydrator up doing marshmallows of all things😑 so on the hunt for a new one. Your dehydrated tomatoes look delicious.
G'day Pamela.
Oh no!!!! I am so sorry. Surprised I did not do the same actually, as my kids and I discovered how good they are and we must have put that machine through its paces. 😂
All the best and take care.
Daz.
About 9 years ago there were a bunch of dehydrating videos on RUclips. Looks like it's coming back.
Thank you for your comments on powders. I never thought to do celery powder, or lemon pepper. Great ideas. Be safe and stay well. Catherine
G'day Catherine.
Yes, the celery powder is especially good as I can use everything. I will dry all of it, including the leaves and grind them all down.
I hope you enjoy the powders as much as I do Catherine. I love dehydrating!
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
I loved you video . I also love to dehydrate. A favourite of mine is potato, sweet potato,and beetroot. All bagged up together. I love it thrown into a savoury mince.
G'day!
Ah, that's a great idea. I have mixes for soups and some basic ones for stews, but we make savoury mince and I never thought to have some dehydrated ingredients put aside.
Especially as I pressure can minced beef here.
Thanks so much for watching and for taking time to comment with such a good idea that I overlooked.
All the best,
Daz.
Great to see what you dehydrate!!!
G'day.
Thanks very much for dropping by. I really do enjoy dehydrating and it was fun to share it in this collaboration.
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
Good to see you again! Like your likes as well! Love your kitchen! Thank you!
G'day Joanne.
Thanks so much for your kind words. The kitchen is very much our happy place, as my wife Emma loves to cook too and I have a couple of her amazing recipes here on the channel actually.
Thanks very much and take care Joanne.
Daz.
Wonderful video! I have dehydrated food off and on, for years. I dehydrated herbs… saving money by using my own dehydrated herbs instead of store bought. Dehydrated celery is so awesome! I just love the knock my socks off flavor punch of dehydrated celery! I dehydrated apples… love them. Dehydrated apricots… they are good, but can’t compare to commercial because of the chemicals they use to prevent darkening. I dehydrated grapes… a lot of trouble. I made my own “cayenne” powder with some of my dehydrated peppers… turned out very flavorful and not too hot (I used a mix of the peppers I had grown). I dehydrated tomatoes and enjoy eating them as a crunchy/leathery snack. But all along, I preferred canning.
I eat salsa on just about everything, and I put canned tomatoes in just about everything! This year, after canning so many jars, I had no space on my shelf. So I focused on dehydrating.
This year I dehydrated lots more peppers, carrots, corn, green peas and mixed veg. I also did the parsley and cilantro. I used to only use the dehydrated items as separate ingredients in recipes. This year, for the very first time, I assembled meals in a jar! I love them and am looking for more meal in a jar ideas! I’ve been watching other content creators show how they use pepper powder, so I’m going to grow more pepper varieties and dehydrate them. I bought frozen broccoli, but haven’t dehydrated it yet. I’ve never tried dehydrating cabbage!!!
All in all, I’m really sold on the dehydrating, powdering and also assembling meals in a jar. You’ve inspired me to dehydrate pickled jalapeños and I am eager to powder some celery! I’d love to see some of your meal in a jar recipes! Thanks again! Have a great day!
G'day my friend.
Oh what a wonderful reply to my video. Thanks so much.
I would love to visit your kitchen as you have so many wonderful items and ideas.
As you can see, I do enjoy dehydrating so much and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share it in this collaboration.
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
Daz,
This is your best video to date! Well done! How did I know you were going to mention the tomatoes and jalapeños lol? That’s so smart to add the parchment paper to the food saver bags. Oh I wish I could send you some Celery powder. I have so much of it here that I grew myself!
Cheers,
LeAnne
G'day LeAnne.
Thanks mate. You are my biggest inspiration to keep on going and I am so happy to have been a part of this collaboration. Thanks so much for everything LeAnne.
You are an amazing friend.
Get well soon.
Daz.
Thanks for sharing Daz, we never thought of dehydrating stuff, looks pretty cool to do 😁☘️
G'day guys.
Thanks very much. I love it.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
Great video, Daz! Sure do appreciate all the ideas you gave on using your dehydrated items. Although it got better finding jars and lids here in the US, we went just last week to get jars at our usual place, and they were out of pint and quart jars and didn't have any extra lids. So I'm thinking your onto something by dehydrating so much!
G'day Julie.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. 😊
As much as I would love some new jars, I just can't bring myself to pay about $95.00 for a dozen pint jars. 😳
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
I love jalapeño powder. I put a damp kitchen towel over the top of the blender while grinding and then just let it set a while to let the dust settle. You have so many good ideas to try. I like to zest and juice lemons then freeze in ice cube trays so I always have some on hand for recipes. I never thought about dehydrating lemons. I need to try that one for sure!
G'day Heidi.
I have been told about a damp tea towel or paper towel before and do you think I remember... 🤦♂️😊
Yes! I used to use ice cube trays too for lemons and a few other tings actually, but I am now finding just how much space I can save with dehydrating and there is just something about lemon powder for instance that I just makes me smile.
All the best and take care Heidi.
Daz.
Dehydrate is fun and time saving for me..I don't like waste in so get a little rip,in the dehydrator it goes..thanks Daz for see your favorite..😊
G'day.
Yes, I absolutely agree and I do enjoy the whole process too. It's very rewarding.
Thanks as always and take care.
Daz.
I hate that you guys can't get jars right now but I love the idea of having the sealed bags in an emergency bag. Great idea! I totally agree bout the grinding of jalapenos. I have to do mine outside in the garage with the door up. I learned that the hard way sadly lol. I'm the same with broccoli. Such a good video Daz, thanks so much for sharing all this with us.
G'day.
Oh, thanks so much.
I had to record this 3 times due to a failing memory card and then I was still editing until 1am and uploaded at 3:30am. So relieved when I was done. 😊
It has been so frustrating trying to get jars. Postage is the biggest problem as it would cost so much to have a box or 2 shipped.
Even Amazon are charging about 120-140 dollars for a dozen jars shipped.
Thanks so much for watching and take care.
Daz.
Thats’s good info for the broccoli. I like to chop up the stalk to eat as a side with dinner anyway. Maybe I can just cut the florets for dehydrating and save the stalk for the fresh eating… I’m definitely getting a dehydrator this year!
G'day Dani.
Oh you are going to LOVE IT!
Definitely try the broccoli for yourself and see what you think, as I have seen other people say that they think it is good.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
Just brilliant. So much great information. Thank you.
G'day Jessica.
Thanks very much for your kind words. I really do enjoy dehydrating.
All the best and take care Jessica.
Daz.
Love this. We dehydrate chilli, dill, basil and a lot of herbs. Christmas time we dehydrate orange slices and dip them in chocolate. We make leek powder as a stock.....put it in mashed potatoes - brilliant.
G'day mate.
That sounds great and I'm DEFINITELY going to do the chocolate oranges at Christmas mate. Love that!
That leek powder would be incredible too. Good stuff mate.
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
Hey Friend! Thank you and have a nice weekend!🙏👍13

Thank you for showing the dehydration of jalepenos
G'day.
You are very welcome.
I also have a dedicated video on my channel just for dehydrating jalapenos too. it does cover a lot of what I mentioned though.
All the best and take care.

My first time on your channel. Definitely subscribed. Loved your video.
A sidenote: Quite a while ago, My husband, our three young children & I lived in Grovedale, outside of Geelong. Love it the area. Our job brought us back to the US, but we all have the fondiesy memories of our life there.
G'day.
Oh thanks so much and it's nice to meet you.
Grovedale! Wow, we used to go there and a few other places in the region when I was a kid. Have not been there in decades and I bet it's changed so much!
Thanks very much and all the best.
Daz.
This was an awesome video Daz I especialy love your mixed veg dehydrating idea super convenient.
G'day Patrick.
Thanks very much mate. I do enjoy this process and all the things I can do with them. Awesome!
All the best and take care.
Daz.
Brilliant!!! I used to dry grapes on the vine in the sun way less effort lol.
I'm loving this cos Tanny just bought me my Christmas pressie from last year and it just so happens to be a dehydrator lol I'm so going through the freezer and emptying all the half bags of veg that have been sitting there for ages unused into it.
Thanks chook :D :D :D Have an awesome one hun xox
G'day Bloo.
I do enjoy dehydrating so much and it does make vegies very interesting with the things you can do.
Thanks for watching and all the best.
Daz.
Great video daz and lots of good information! I started dehydrating tomatoes and cilantro so far. Did the skins and seeds and made them into tomato powder….. thanks for sharing!
G'day Lisa.
YES! That is awesome! I love reading things like this from everyone.
That is such a great way to get the most out of your tomatoes. Good for you!
All the best,
Daz.
I need to get more into dehydrating veggies. I never get through most of my fresh veggies fast enough.
G'day Greg.
Yes, it's a great way to save money eventually, as there is little waste.
I really do enjoy this stuff mate.
Thanks and all the best.

I have not been commenting much, but I'm always watching (I did not mean to sound like a stalker there 😂 ). You two have been a huge inspiration for me and I appreciate you so much.
I was a bit nervy the other day when you were camping and snake spotting.
All the best guys.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen haha we cant see you as a stalker at all Daz...and commenting does take time as well as trying to watch everyone’s videos !!!👍God bless !
I never thought of dehydrating some of the items. If i every get my garden started I can dehydrate some item's too.
Great video….I am Dehydrating Hydrating my sun-gold cherry tomatoes. They are my favorite for snacks…next the tomatoes. Good info here. Thanks. ☺️

G'day Pete.
Thanks very much mate.
This is one topic I really enjoy.
Thanks for watching and all the best.
Daz.
Thank you very much for your really good video today. I love tomatoes and your idea about putting them on the burgers or sandwich in the sauce or on the sauce I think I would like a lot. Also glad you mentioned the broccoli stems. My family absolutely loves broccoli but in order to have enough we would have to have a dedicated freezer for broccoli and maybe more than one. May reconsider this for this year I was actually going to try it, thanks for all you do enjoy watching your videos and your lives
G'day Diana.
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment.
I do recommend that you try the broccoli at least once to see what you think, as it's not terrible and it may well be the way I do it, as I have seen others say that they enjoy it.
The smaller stuff that came frozen was a bit better.
Thanks for your kind words Diana and take care.
Daz.
Enjoyed your video and all the great tips. Think I'll dehydrate some jalapenos tomorrow.
G'day Mary.

@@MyAussieGardenKitchen you're very welcome 💕. Glad your passionate about it. Have a great night 🌉
I enjoyed this video a lot. It sounds like your natural voice. You may want to try freezing your grapes. The kids will likely love them that way. I do. I eat them with yogurt which quickly freezes like icecream but healthier. I’m hoping for a bumper pumpkin yield this year so will remember to dehydrate some into powder.
G'day!
Thanks so much for your kind words and of course, I thank you too for watching the video and taking the time to comment.
Good luck with your pumpkin powder. I absolutely love adding it to breads and scones here.
Great idea with freezing the grapes and my vines are looking to produce beautiful seedless grapes this year, so I am planning on freezing some and making thick smoothies with them in the heat of Summer.
The kids will love it. They'll also enjoy the frozen ones by themselves on a hot day too!
All the best.
Daz.
Thanks for doing the collab
G'day.
Oh it was so much fun.
As you can see, I do enjoy dehydrating so much and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share it in this collaboration.

Great video Daz! I was wondering where you were able to buy a processer that grinds food into a powder? I dehydrate lots of foods but Ive never made powdered goods before and was wanting to try :)
G'day.
I use a coffee and spice grinder that works similar to this one on the Amazon store...
amzn.to/3Rrxt4b
(That is an affiliate link to be fully transparent).
These are the cheapest option, but you cannot do big batches in one go.
I also use my high speed blender from time to time, if I have big quantities, but be aware that the course ingredients can cause the clear plastic on the container to go cloudy and possibly discolor.
Not much you can do about that, other than having a container on the high speed blender made of glass.
If you don't mind me saying, I have affiliate links to a high speed blender via and Australian store and a USA based store. There is a code that will give you a discount when entering it at checkout.
The company will also give me a small percentage of the ptofit just to be transparent.
The Australian link is the actual model that I use and yes, the clear plastic has a slight blur on the bottom inch.

I hope that at least leads you in the right direction and if you do buy something via one of my links, I do thank you in advance!
All the best.

All great items, friend. I must admit, I’ve not tried the cabbage or celery as of yet, but I’m making note to buy those items when they go on sale for holidays; cabbage for St Patty’s Day and celery forThanksgiving… my dehydrator is going to be busy !
I used to own a dehydrator for fruits and such long ago, then lost it in a move somewhere. I just bought another one but I've yet to use it for fruits LOL. They make excellent cookie dryers if you're waiting for different levels of icing to set LOL. Cheers Daz! You're almost at 2k!
Wow thanks so much for this video, so many ideas. I’m just new at dehydrating and it’s my first time in a long time having a vege garden, I’ve done tomatoes and they are so good, I’ve done zucchini’s as well, I’v had heap come from my garden, I’ve left some in flakes and powdered some and excited to use it. Frozen vege hydrated I’m defiantly going to do, this well free up some much need space in the freezer. Im new to your channel this is just what I needed so thanks.
G'day Denise.
Thanks so much for your kind words and that sounds fantastic.
I absolutely love dehydrating and all the things you can do with the foods and I really did enjoy making this video.
Yes! We have a big family of 9 here and dehydrating frozen mixed vegies, saves us so much space.
Enjoy your dehydrating Denise and feel free to get in touch if you ever have any questions.

Great collaboration! Thanks for all the tips Daz, I've been eanting to get into dehydrating, not sure why I'm so daunted by it!
G'day guys.
Oh it is so much fun and I guess you can see how much I enjoy it.
It was hard to keep the video at this length, as I could have gone on for an hour about all the things to do. 🙄
Congratulations on making it to 1k by the way.
You guys are just fantastic and it is well deserved and will only get bigger good on you.
I apologise for no commenting on your videos. I've been struggling a bit here, but I am watching.
The video on the perennials and annuals was fantastic and I was just watching one yesterday where you were digging along the drive and I'm pretty sure it was Happy Valley seeds that you had too.
I used them on my last order and they were great.
Thanks and all the best guys.

Good video. Yeah I made mistake of powdering my home grown dehydrated jalapenos without mask, husband was laughing at me, was choking and sinuses cleared real quick!! Try tomato powder, it's awesome. Think tomato paste on steroids. Dehydrated watermelon is like candy, but I wont do it unless it's going because it doesn't yield a lot due to water content.
G'day.
Oh wow! Thanks so much for the tip on the watermelon.
I have not done that before and my ones are just ripening here in Australia, so your great tip is timed so well. 😊

This was an excellent video and so informative! Daz thanks for sharing about all the things you dehydrate and WHY you would or would not do again. I agree tomatoes! And celery! Yum. I did celery in small slices and they were amazing to add to recipes. I like the points you made regarding store bought jalapeños and dehydrating them and saving fresh ones for other recipes. Practical. Love the powder idea also. I love dehydrating. And the vacuum sealing idea is cool. Did I see you put a bit of paper in your mason jars also?
G'day Lisa.
This was rather rushed, due to limited time, so I did miss a few points.
I think you might be refereeing to the oxygen absorbers in the jar, on top of the food.
Because I buy them in bulk, it is quite affordable to put on in every jar that I have for long term storage.
I don't do it to the jars I open on a regular basis, but with those ones, I take them over and vac seal them again as soon as I have taken out what I need.
Thanks very much Lisa. I enjoy this process a lot and was so happy to be able to share my experience in the collaboration.
Take care.
Daz.
G’day Daz, can you share how/what you use/do with pumpkin powder, please? I have over 30 butternut pumpkins growing and am looking for ideas on how to use, share and store them. Happy gardening/food processing/etc. Cheers, Sandra
G'day Sandra.
Pumpkin powder is great in scones, bread loaves and rolls, pasta, adding it to soups and stews...
One good thing about it, it that you have to dehydrate a lot of butternuts to grind into a powder, so that will burn through them.
With storing the butternuts, I leave them in the sun for about 2 weeks after picking to cure a bit and then store then in a dry and dark place and they last for months.
I hope that help and please don't hesitate to get in touch.
All the best.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen Thanks Daz, I’m going to write those down in my recipe folder. My dehydrator will be going around the clock when the pumpkins are ready 👍🏼😃
You started with tomatoes. When you followed it up with Jalapeno, I immediately thought of Pizza 🤣.
Hmmm... Jalapeno pepper spray. How do you dehydrate them Daz? With a small backyard, I don't think I'd get to a point where I have so much of one thing.
I have been considering freeze dryer.
G'day mate.
Hah, hah, yes. Pizza doe sure! Yum!
I have a 9 tray dehydrator and they do well in that and dried, but the smell can be strong, so I open all the windows.
I also buy vegies when really cheap, so I can dehydrate and store them.
A freeze dryer is my number 1 wish, but it's something like $7000.00 dollars to import one. Not going to happen.
Thanks very much and take care.

Nice channel Daz! I used to live in Aus pre first lockdown but now in nz. Sad to hear what you are saying about ball jars but to be expected. I assume it will be as bad in nz. Any thought on what good and not good prices for them would be now in your opinion so i can get the right prices if i can.
G'day Ashleigh.
It's nice to meet you.
That is such a hard question, as what one person would pay, another may not, if you know what I mean...
As an example here... I was paying around 30 dollars for a box of 12 pint jars (Ball brand) including delivery with Amazon Australia, or in stores like Big W.
Now Amazon are charging about 85 dollars for the same ones shipped from the USA and some local sellers had old stock and were charging around 100 dollars.
For me, it's way too much as I can recycle old jam and pasta sauce jars for water bathing and I can dehydrate and store in vac sealed bags.
If I had no jars at all, I might consider the high cost for essential pressure canning items.
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you Ashleigh, but things are just so strange and somewhat difficult with what has been going on the last couple of years.
Please feel free to ask any further questions.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
I need to get a dehydrator, but if I don't I can always use the old ways
G'day.
Oh, yes indeed. I still love to hang flowers or herbs for instance.
Thanks very much and take care.
Daz.
Dehydrated pickled jalapeños. Sounds delicious. Is the pickle flavor still in the dehydrated jalapeños?
G'day Katie.
Surprisingly, no. Well, not for me.
I drain them first and give them a rinse on a colander before dehydrating.
I tend to use them on burgers, steak sandwiches and pizza for instance, so I generally notice that nice little bit of chew they still have and the kick of heat.
I sometimes notice the jalpeno taste itself, but definitely not the pickling liquid, which is quite pleasing.
Thanks very much and take care Katie.
Daz.
You could try making grape pie to use them up.
G'day.
Ohhhhh..... I have not though of that and it sounds really interesting. I am going to look this up now.
Thanks so much and sorry for the slow reply. Some comments are only showing up now.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen I thought of another good recipe instead of just grape pie try rhubarb raisin pie! It's delicious and if you let the two simmer on the stove for a bit then the really plump up
New to channel
G'day Maria.
Thanks so much for being here. I do appreciate it and I hope you enjoy my content.
All the best and take care.
Daz.
Love all the ideas Daz
I watched to see if you had the pumpkin powder you mentioned you loved but now I’m keen on trying jarred jalapeño I think would be very tasty after being in the vinegar etc
I collect the silica satchel from electronics packaging but have not seen them on sale in bulk do you buy online or from a store?
I also use in a tub of stored seeds
G'day.
My next video is me making the butternut powder, as I had so many comments on it. 👍😊
No, not the silica from electronics. Definitely do not use them.
If you look on Ebay for instance, you will see 'oxygen absorbers" for food and they are very different in what is inside them.
They come with different ratings which is like a 'strength' rating.
That means that the bigger the container, the more of them or the higher the packet rating has to be.
You also have to be careful not to use them with a lot of things, as any foods with moisture or oils still in them, can actually encourage the growth of botulism, when using these.
They also turn salt and sugar in to hard bricks if stored with them.
Once you open a bag of them, they will immediately start drawing on the air and will go bad if you do not seal them in an air tight container immediately.
I might do a video on all this, as it can be a little intimidating and I and no expert though and still have a bit to learn myself.
You definitely need to look at the right ones and which foods they can be stored with.
All the best and take care,
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen thank you I’ve only used for seeds and my own projects so haven’t poisoned myself yet 😂
I had never thought of putting in vacuum bags like u did so I will look up online and make sure I get the correct ones you mentioned and only for dry products
Thanks for the top tips mate
Regards
Neil
#LastChanceCookOff Lets Go! 💪🔥
G'day.
Mate, that is going to be one awesome month of cooking, grilling, recipes etc...
Can't wait!
All the best.
Daz.
Yes, grapes take a while, I won;t do those again
G'day Louise.
Yes, there will have to be a good reason for me to do them again.
Thanks so much for watching and take care.
Daz.
I'm new to the channel, great tips! Do you use your glass jars from say your jalapenos to vacuum seal your dry goods?
G'day Vro.
I cannot vacuum seal jars other than the Ball branded jars at the moment wit the attachments from the Food Saver machine.
I do however, wash and sanitize those jars, as well as others and will drop an oxygen absorber in with the dry goods and that will usually work.
From what I understand though, you need to make sure the dried food has less than 10% moisture in it if using oxygen absorbers.
Best to research that bit to know for absolute certainty.
Thanks so much for watching and all the best.
Daz.
Thank you for sharing! What do you use to turn the dehydrated foods into powder?
G'day Stephanie.
I do apologise for the slow reply.
I have a blender and a food processor that I have been using, but the hard, dehydrated items are actually wearing a groove into the plastic of the food processor.
Due to this, I am now looking at alternatives and I am hearing good things about coffee grinders, but i still need to research this more.
I can only really afford to buy something once and for the long run, so i really want to make sure I get the right thing.
Oh and with the powders, people tend to put them through a sieve.
I do sometimes, but not that often as I generally do not mind the little bit of texture.
I can always sieve the powder am I using for a specific recipe if I need to.
I hope that helps and sorry again for the slow reply Stephanie.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen no problem on the slow reply! I’m so grateful that you provided your information. I have also been looking into the coffee grinders because my blender doesn’t seem to do a very good job.
Nothing like macing yourself with pepper powder lol
G'day.
it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. 😁
All the best.
Daz.
hi I bought a large jar of roasted capcicums and would prefer to dehydrate them is this possible they are in a brine Also do you have a video on how to dehydrate foods etc ??
G'day Christina.
You certainly could dehydrate capsicums in brine.
I dehydrate jalapenos that are pickled in jars and I'm doing 3 jars this week actually.
I have a few videos on dehydrating, how I do it, how I use them and store them and you can find my playlist here...
ruclips.net/p/PLFsqA6VEo7F2rqESYF_1wcohZcOv8UksU
I have a new dehydrating video coming out in a couple of weeks actually.
Thanks very much and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions Christina.
All the best.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen morning Daz, and thank you for the quick reply appreciate.. did you see my email I sent after your live show the other day regarding other Australian youtubers that are doing channels on vegie gardening ?
@@poodlepup1 I got the message on Instagram and have sent a bunch of replies to that. Please feel free to get back to me if you would like more info. 😊
Powder the broccoli stalks for soup
G'day John.
That's a really good point and thanks for taking to the time to mention it.
All the best,
Daz.
Are you blanching your vegetables first?
G'day!
Great question.
Carrots, cauli, broccoli and cabbage I will blanch as I believe it helps with the colour.
In general, if I have a raw veggie from the garden, I will blanch it first.
Onions, I don't though. Neither do I blanch capsicum (Bell pepper), chili or jalapenos.
Frozen veggies I don't as they are blanched before frozen.
I hope this helps and please feel free to get in touch with further questions.
Daz.
