    Scoops sold as "coffee scoops" are quite often equal to 1/8 cup. Thanks for the tip of cooking in the nomad. I have one but don't use it very often. I am excited about individual meals in a jar and will put several of them together to try. The family size ones don't suit my household needs but the individual ones would be perfect.

    I love making chili when the ewather turns cool (it *is going to turn cool, right?). I use Caroll-Shelby's Chili Kits, both regular and White Chicken. The seasonings are in individual packets so you can adjust how mild or hot you want it. I have never seen ( or looed for, honestly) the Chili-o, but may have to try it if the ones I use keep going up in prices. Thanks for sharing your recipies!

  • @daphneraven6745
    @daphneraven6745 11 месяцев назад

    @WickedPrepared: Thank you so much for this video and for sharing your recipes, my sister. it will be a privilege to give them a shot, as I absolutely adore having pre-cooked and packaged homemade dishes that come together in no time onhand.
    By way of giving back, one really inexpensive way of cutting costs is to use TVP, or texturizef vegetable protein. It’s very satisfying once you learn how to cook it correctly, and it’s got a really shallow learning curve. and that’s also vegan friendly, and will get a person by if they are struggling with sensitivities to some of the additives in the meats that are available locally.
    The big difference between freeze dried and dehydrated foods is the amount of moisture that’s left in it. OK, there are nutrition differences as well, as well as texture and colour differences, but the big selling point is the shelf life.
    So if you’re going through the expense to buy the freeze-dried ingredients, but you’re just putting them in canisters or jars and not vacuum sealing them after or putting moisture absorbers in with them, you’re pretty much letting them absorb whatever moisture content is in the air. You’re reducing your shelf life and defeating one of your major objectives in that, if you’re keeping it in a cannister or a bottle and failing to either vacuum the moist air out or use an oxygen absorber, if you’ve got a 40% humidity environment where you are, then it’s not gonna be too much time before the contents of that cannister are at 40% humidity.
    I realized after the fact that I got a bit run-on with my sentence there, although I think it’s otherwise grammatically correct. My apologies for that.

  • @DisabledandPrepping

    The meals look delicious 😋 that presto, I believe it was, warmer that you used. if they're not available anymore I'll have to look at my brand I bought like 12 of them and gave some out as gifts and like you said they don't say they cook food but you can warm food in it however you're right.. if it's something that doesn't require much cooking, you can actually cook in it and it uses a lot of less electricity and you're doing everything at one time there is less clean up. I'm not sure if the one I use is specifically for certain size jars or not as I haven't used it in a while since I retired as an RN in 2021 so I'd have to look at that but I'll post later if the one that you use is no longer available for those who would like to use something like that. Thanks again for taking the time to show the meals and how to cook them. I thought while you were cooking, I could smell them from here lol.

    • @wickedprepared

      I haven't done a whole lot of low carb or keto recipes yet but I'm hoping to do some soon! Actually that is my preferred way of eating also! If you check out this video ruclips.net/video/oVCOOcS92ww/видео.html
      The frittata I did without the beans should be low carb. I haven't done the macros on it yet but I intend to. It's all eggs, cheese, veggies and meat though! But I am planning on doing more like that; I'm planning a video soon with a zuppa toscana meal in a jar and I'm planning to do a low carb version with cauliflower in place of potatoes And a few other swaps! Stay tuned!

    What's the difference between freeze-dried and dehydrated how do you freeze dry something I have a friend who's going to get me a dehydrator and I'm going to try it out but I have never ever done it in my life but I would also like to know how to freeze-dry something do you need a special machine or something like that and how do you do it I've never heard of that before I am going to try and dehydrate some stuff in the future I'm in the process of moving so after I move I will try but it would be my very very first time so I don't know how it's going to come out but how do you freeze dry something and do you need something special special machine or something to do that and where do you get all of your freeze-dried ingredients dehydrated ingredients and is it very expensive to get freeze-dried ingredients and dehydrated ingredients or is it just cheaper to get the ingredients in the grocery store I'm just asking because I am on a very small fixed budget and I'm disabled senior citizen very recently my husband passed away so I'm all alone by myself I'm disabled to the point where I can barely stand long enough to cook a meal and I just came across your videos and started watching and would love to learn as much as I can from you you are awesome and I love the way you described everything and you don't leave anything out every detail you include and you even show not only had to put things together but how to cook it and I appreciate that very much I know I'm going to learn a lot from you and I appreciate your videos and what you're doing not only for me but for a lot of people out here we're going to benefit from your videos and your knowledge thank you so much and if you don't mind me asking how did you learn how to cook like this how to put these type of specific ingredients together like freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients together and make meals how did you learn how to cook like this how did you learn this way and these techniques I'm just curious but it is very beneficial I know for me it is thank you and God bless. 🌶️🌶️🌶️

      Hi Mary,
      This is a good video to explain the difference between dehydrated and freeze dried foods. ruclips.net/video/3WPfW7rUJ6g/видео.html
      You do need a special machine to freeze dry things yourself. Freeze dried foods can be a bit spendy whether you do it yourself or purchase them because freeze drying is a pretty costly and energy intensive process. But a lot of people in your situation do like using it because it makes cooking physically easier since the peeling and chopping and preparing is already done. Also because the food is shelf stable so it's easier to use a small amount and save the rest for later even if it's just a tablespoon or two of meat or vegetable for a single serving recipe for example. We always recommend shopping during big sales like the one going on now as the most budget friendly way to do it. But if you are getting a dehydrator gifted to you that will be a wonderful option for you. Many things can be dehydrated and I'm going to be working on some dehydrated-only jar meal recipes as well!

    Hi. You say meals in a jar last a long time but how many years will it be good for?

    • @wickedprepared
      @wickedprepared  3 месяца назад

      There are a lot of factors but usually if they're sealed up with an oxygen absorber, they should last at least eight years on the shelf, if they're kept in a dark place. that could change if you used any ingredients that have a considerably shorter shelf life than the typical ingredients. I have had some that I never got an oxygen absorber into. And they sat on the shelf for over a year and were just fine. I haven't tested any longer than that without an OA.

    • @marinaestrada4052
      @marinaestrada4052 3 месяца назад

      Thank you for your reply. Does the same go for Mylar bags with an oxygen absorber?

    • @marinaestrada4052
      @marinaestrada4052 3 месяца назад

      Sorry, I didn’t tell you I’m using these for my emergency bags so I’m trying to see which would work better. The ready made bags or the making them in a mason jar to last a long period of time.

    Did i miss the servings size?.

    • @wickedprepared
      @wickedprepared  11 месяцев назад

      On the quart jars I usually get 3-5 servings depending on who I am feeding and what else I'm serving. The smaller jar is a good single serving and it's 1/4 of the larger jar.

    instead of jars can't we use seal a meal bags

    • @wickedprepared
      @wickedprepared  11 месяцев назад

      Are the seal a meal bags the same as food saver bags? Those aren't completely impermeable so they aren't great for long term storage but could definitely be used for shorter term storage. Mylar bags would be appropriate for long term storage so you could make meals in bags for sure! 😊
