I weigh my trays when I put them in the freeze dryer and when I get them out. That gives me the water content that was taken off in grams. Then I divide that by how many portions and gives you a good idea of how much to add. I write that on the bag! Great video Kevin and Sarah!
I would love a video on where you store everything for canning, freeze drying, and the food you store. etc… I don’t know how you guys fit everything in a relatively small home. You have appliances and equipment but where do you keep them?!!!
When I got my freeze dryer I took a lot of my canned foods and put it through the freeze dryer, especially soups, saves canned food pantry space. Easy to use. Preserves foods that are reaching expiration dates.
I bought a lot of canned goods a couple of years ago on a big sale, but never used it all so I spent a week or so recently FDing all survivors. Canned soups, canned vegetables, and canned beans all got processed.
I found it was hard to keep my meal hot from the time it starts to reconstitute until it’s ready to eat. I made a “tea cozy” type envelope from quilted fabric to hold in the heat. Works great!
Good Evening as I binge watch your videos to catch up. 😂 we love our freeze dryer. Your videos got us to buy one. And we absolutely love it!! Love to take food camping without having to pack ice!!
I'm so glad I persuaded my husband to get a freeze dryer - I made him watch all your videos on it. Luckily we ordered in time because it still took months to ship to us. Once we got it we have used it so much. We were worried we might wear it out as it arrived in August 2021! I've even made nettle tea and the nettle flower heads are powdered for use. The soups are great - my mum liked her butternut squash cuppa soup!
We did an upgrade on the drying rack and they sent us the wrong rack. It fried all the electronics in our freeze dryer! Harvest Right sent me all new electronics along with the right rack and had me up and going within a week. Our Freeze dryer is almost 5 years old and never had a single problem with it until their oops!😂
Praying at some point that I get blessed with a freezer dryer. If God wants me to have it then it will happen. Have had a very hard year and the savings is gone. Pray people for this country. God's blessing to you and yours
I bought my freeze dryer 2 years ago through your affiliate link. Both my wife and I are nurses. Our lunches are mainly freeze dried left overs every day. We pack boiling water in thermos and off we go. You can put your hot water in your mylar bags and have lunch. We also freeze dry our fresh milk!
I would think you could also just do the sausage patty freeze dried and reconstituted since it would really be a strong smell cooking in the field. However, if your want you eggs scrambled fresh just get a tiny camping burner and small pan and cook the eggs fresh. I’m so picky about my eggs but you could have them in a jar with cheese and a pat of butter and be good to cook quickly inside the blind with the windows closed. I doubt that would smell up the area much. Just a thought to try. Love you guys! I’m in Springfield Mo and I’ve learned so much from y’all. It helps you are in my same area because whatever you do works for me too! God bless!! 😊
A channel called Keeping it Dutch did this to take meals to deer camp with a bunch of friends. He did the eggs, maybe for breakfast burritos I think, chilli and Enchaldas. Everyone that tried it seemed to really like it. I've heard other people do it for hiking meals. And my cousin freeze dries meals for her grandkids to take to school for lunches. Her daughter doesn't like the meals that the school gives the kids but she doesn't want to send sandwiches with them every day either. She said her daughter either cooks the food herself or brings the stuff to my friend to cook and then freeze dry. The kids really like it and don't get bored with their lunches. She said the grandkids have friends trying to trade lunches with them all the time. They like it because they can do the freeze drying during the summer and get ahead of the game. Plus they make extra when cooking anyway. I thought it was a great idea. Her abd her husband do this for them to take to work also.
Freeze drying the food gives so many options. As y'all stated, you can put up years' worth of food and not worry about a freezer going bad and losing everything or power outages. A small alcohol stove can heat up your water, and like Kevin in a blind, alcohol burning doesn't smell. Great tips. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on your homestead.
I love meals in jars for quick and easy preps! I buy my freeze dried ingredients because I can buy alot and start making from a working pantry. I have made a pdf recipe collection of all recipes like these
I freeze dried some chili and some pinto beans a few weeks ago. I am preparing for the recovery period following major surgery. This way my husband and adult son have quick home cooked meals. I’ve got shredded beef, pork and chicken they can rehydrate and make bbq sandwiches. My son has a milk allergy so we make meals at home.
I had this idea the other day because my youngest is planning on going into the Air Force. I came across a freeze dryer add & thought; if I had one of those, i'd freeze dry our thanksgiving dinner & send it over to him where ever he's at. It won't be thanksgiving day, but it's the same meal we all shared that day. Hey, & binging home leftovers is one of the best parts, to me any way! Even better, if he's out in active duty, however that works, i'd send enough for the squadron! What a little bit of comfort & the smile you'd be giving them hopefully would do to boost moral. 😌 Doubt i'll have one when the time comes, but i'll be looking for someone who does! Just passing it along. Hope you're having a great weekend!😃✌
@amandamarohl9034 Thank you for what your son is about to do. There is so much sacrifice all around, speaking from a military family. I had this idea a couple weeks ago. I will be seeking other military families so they can have their favorite meal when away. Excited to see where it goes. I am receiving my freeze dryer on Friday!
Thanks - have a call in to HR to see how much an upgrade is and if my older model will accommodate it - hopefully - we did do a software upgrade about 4 to 5 years ago - I'd like to do that again also - we shall see what HR says based on the serial number
I freeze dry my smoked pulled pork, very lean. Has a jerky feel if eaten dry, rehydrates extremely well. Does so well I always max out the smoker with butts so we will have leftover pork to dry.
You can do like Mountain House's freeze-dried meals are packaged up... just open up the mylar bag, add your hot water, and close it up again, allowing the water to rehydrate the food. There's your eating container... a spoon is all you need, then. Less containers to tote about, and one bag to bring home for the trash can.
I'm glad you did this. A big frustration for me is that you can find a lot of "how to freeze dry" but the "rehydrate videos" seem to be hard to find. I have raw freeze dried eggs but they don't reconstitute to look like a fresh scrambled raw egg - it's more thick and pastie. I do 2 tablespoons egg to 2 tablespoons warm water? Anyone have any suggestions?
I have seen other users weigh their trays before and after to calculate how much water needed is needed reconstitute the food. A little more work on the front end but potentially very helpful in a camping/no electricity situation when you need to conserve water and end up with a better reconstituted meal.😊
I made up some freeze-dried meals for hunting this year, had boiling water in a thermos, and ate a great meal while sitting in the middle of nowhere, on a hill in New Mexico.
Hoping to get a Harvest Right freeze dryer in 2025. Been saving for it for a while. Love when you guys are in the kitchen together. Reminds me of us before I lost my husband in 2020. We worked together really well like you two! Thank you for your hard work in instructing us on your homestead life. Take Care & God Bless
So sorry for your loss. Be grateful for the time you had with someone who worked well with you!! My husband acts like the kitchen doesn’t exist until the meal is ready. I appreciate the good in him but companionship cooking or gardening, not a thing. Sarah and Kevin are fun to watch.
Sarah & Kevin, I would love to see a video where you two open a year old pkg of meat and sides, and create a meal from it. You & others have said they last for years, but I wonder about any degradation of color, flavor, or texture. Think you could?
I cut a 4 gallon no return water jug in half. Turn the top half upside down and you have a very large mouth funnel that will fit canning jars. I use a stick or 3/4" pvc pipe with end caps as a pusher to pack bulky things into the jar
🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ Hey Kevin and Sarah, I have heard, and want your opinion on upgrading a medium to large HR from 4 trays to 5. I have heard from some that you give up height space. Like with freeze drying meatballs and other things that are higher in height. Have you experienced any issue like this?? Thank you in advance 🤗❤️ From a Sara, without an H 😃 Edited to say, thank you for putting the large funnel in your Amazon Shop!!!
I have been freezing raw eggs because I get close to 100 in about three days so I'm freeze-drying constantly. I never thought of freeze-drying scrambled eggs. I normally reconstitue the raw eggs and then cooked them.
Dear hunting is winding down here, in MN. They all ran to Wisconsin from the noise! ha. Not a deer hunter, but enjoy the two guys at work who are. Asking them questions. One of them got a 8 point buck and an half albino deer he's keeping the skin/hair to mount it. Rare, I guess.. That's their thing!
One thing we can't seem to rehydrate from the freeze dryer is celery! We rehydrated the celery then added it to a slow cooked stew. The flavor was still there but it was rubbery. Not sure if we did something wrong.
Try growing pinto and kidney beans... just plant 'em and then let them go to seed, dry pods well, then shell and harvest. Store well and last long time in storage and better than store purchased dry or canned beans when cooked up.
I have heard that if you add things like pepper, cheese, onions to the scrambled eggs, they turn out better. I've freeze dried Raw eggs and they cook up perfectly!
I'm giggling to myself... Sara was trying to keep Kevin's stomach from growling so he would be quiet for the deer.... the eggs my keep him quiet, but the chili is gonna make a little noise and it won't be his stomach...😂
I got a HarvestRight this summer when they had a sale going. I love it! I plan to start freeze drying a variety of things now that the garden is about done. 😊
Are the bags reusable? Do they come in different sizes? I have issues with one use storage items and would just hate to see all these bags in a landfill after one use.
What you should do is go out every day for a week or so before season starts, cook up your meals, that way the deer get used to the smell, and you get to eat more of them.
My husband always makes our chili and he doesn’t like beans so he doesn’t put any in there! I open a can of ranch beans and throw some in my bowl because I don’t like chili without beans. 😂
I would love to have a freeze dryer. Our boys are grown, so we are empty nesters, but I still cook way too much food for just the two of us, lol. My husband also goes deer hunting, Kevin. I would love to see a video of how you process your deer 😊 Thank you so much for your videos! God bless ❤
In Wisconsin, did harvest a doe this morning within the first five minutes of going out. Fastest I have ever filled a tag, of course the rest took me longer, had 40 acres to drag it. Good Luck Kevin
I can’t wait to get my own freeze dry, I am so use to cooking for a big family now that there is only two of us we have a lot of leftovers. Sarah I love your gray hair I started letting mine go gray also❤
I LOVE the idea of being able to freeze-dry foods. Gettin' older & hands object to heavy use now. But if I could do meals all at once, then freeze-dry them and use them as needed--it would give my weary hands a rest. But given the price of freeze-dryers, it must remain just an "idea" for me! SSA Retirement only=
Love watching & learning from your videos! There's quite a few off-grid channels that I have unsubscribed from because they seem to find a conspiracy around every corner. Many thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge!!!

LOL🤣 Kevin's reaction in dropping the egg shells was priceless & then he does the sshh don't let my wife know 🤣

I laughed when Kevin dropped the shell into the mixer and Said shhhh. Don't tell on me! Sorry I ratted you out. Kevin 😂
I would love a video on where you store everything for canning, freeze drying, and the food you store. etc… I don’t know how you guys fit everything in a relatively small home. You have appliances and equipment but where do you keep them?!!!
Another great idea. I don’t hunt, but just to have on hand.
Very good of Harvest Rite to make the 5 shelf option available as an add on for the older units.

Kevin and his, "Shhhhh!" when he dropped the eggshell in the mixer was hilarious! 🤣 Thank you for this demonstration! Great video!
After all these years,... you 2 are STILL soooo cute together! Thank you for taking the time to share. Good info! Be well, God bless.
Y’all really are the cutest couple! ❤
Thank you for sharing. Freeze drying chili had not occurred to me.
Sound like we need to get your chili recipe🥰 I freeze dry too, LOVE IT!
So many options for freeze drying...How Fun!
Love it when Kevin yolks around! Cracks me up!
Awesome! I will make chilli and freeze dry it! Blessings!
Great video and so much great information!
Always Interesting. Thanks

A 1 person I struggle to justify one, but would definitely use one if I had one

Teach us how to hunt. That'd be a cool homestead video

I got access to lots of celery, pineapple and pears so my freeze dryer will be humming for awhile 😊

Kevin can you "take us with you" on your deer hunt? I know you have to be quiet, but you could video it and then do voice over 😊
Very interesting, and everything looks so good.

Plus it is so lite weight to ship.
What a great idea!
And maybe you know some kind sole who already has one that would do it for you.

I wish I had the space and electrical wherewithal to get a freezer dryer
A pattie with eggs and chili on top. Also more cheese. GOD BLESS
That looks delicious.. Enjoy your videos. Does a freeze dryer take a lot of electricity?
You can do like Mountain House's freeze-dried meals are packaged up... just open up the mylar bag, add your hot water, and close it up again, allowing the water to rehydrate the food.

We have been considering a freeze dryer, I’m just not sure I would have enough to freeze dry to save. Praying about the investment.
Hey! Just curious when you guys lived in Phoenix did you ever go to The Herb Box?
OK Kevin, we won't tell! 😆😆😆 Cute!
Been saving for 2 years for our freezer dryer, someday it will happen
Have you done a freeze drying video on Deer meat?
Would you get the harvest right vacuum sealer or get another different one?
Love my Harvest Right
Love my Harvest Right! Thanks for sharing your freeze drying of the chili...husband LOVES my chili so I am loading the FD today with it!! God Bless!
?***I love that super wide spatula! Where did you get it please?
Hoping to get a Harvest Right freeze dryer in 2025. Been saving for it for a while. Love when you guys are in the kitchen together. Reminds me of us before I lost my husband in 2020. We worked together really well like you two! Thank you for your hard work in instructing us on your homestead life. Take Care & God Bless

So sorry for your loss. Be grateful for the time you had with someone who worked well with you!! My husband acts like the kitchen doesn’t exist until the meal is ready. I appreciate the good in him but companionship cooking or gardening, not a thing. Sarah and Kevin are fun to watch.
Invest in some tray dividers! It makes doing individual meals so much easier!
Undercook the eggs. They’ll be perfect after rehydrating. 😃💕
This is true. Works perfect this way.
@ , Yep. Been doing this 9 years.Has never failed me. 😃
Sarah & Kevin, I would love to see a video where you two open a year old pkg of meat and sides, and create a meal from it. You & others have said they last for years, but I wonder about any degradation of color, flavor, or texture. Think you could?
I want a monster funnel too. ❤
I cut a 4 gallon no return water jug in half. Turn the top half upside down and you have a very large mouth funnel that will fit canning jars. I use a stick or 3/4" pvc pipe with end caps as a pusher to pack bulky things into the jar
@Dannieat1136 love the smart youtubers. Bless you.
I just freeze dried a bunch of leftover chilli.
Off subject... have you showed a picture of your porch? Watching the process of buying a modular has given me more options.

Kevin is so funny 😂😂😂
So then an oven with a air fryer setting is basically a convection oven?❤
Deer right off would be awesome
One thing we can't seem to rehydrate from the freeze dryer is celery! We rehydrated the celery then added it to a slow cooked stew. The flavor was still there but it was rubbery. Not sure if we did something wrong.
Chop it up very small before freeze drying.
I am wondering if your cook stove is propane or natural gas? How about your oven? Thank you.
Try growing pinto and kidney beans... just plant 'em and then let them go to seed, dry pods well, then shell and harvest. Store well and last long time in storage and better than store purchased dry or canned beans when cooked up.

On your medium freeze dryer do you plug into a 15 Amp or a 20 Amp outlet??
Love You Guys. God is Good. Love all your Videos from Waddles Ville to cooking, and preserving.
I'm giggling to myself... Sara was trying to keep Kevin's stomach from growling so he would be quiet for the deer.... the eggs my keep him quiet, but the chili is gonna make a little noise and it won't be his stomach...😂
We are processing winter radishes and turnips today. Hope to freeze dry some pickled ones into chips.
I got a HarvestRight this summer when they had a sale going. I love it! I plan to start freeze drying a variety of things now that the garden is about done. 😊
Sarah and Kevin, do you put the hot it boiling water directly into the bags? I can't find anywhere if that is safe, healthy, recommended....
What brand of skillet is that?
Can you please share your award-winning chili recipe with us? Thank you!
Are the bags reusable? Do they come in different sizes? I have issues with one use storage items and would just hate to see all these bags in a landfill after one use.
What you should do is go out every day for a week or so before season starts, cook up your meals, that way the deer get used to the smell, and you get to eat more of them.
Everything looks so fresh. Thanks for the taste test!
My husband always makes our chili and he doesn’t like beans so he doesn’t put any in there! I open a can of ranch beans and throw some in my bowl because I don’t like chili without beans. 😂

In Wisconsin, did harvest a doe this morning within the first five minutes of going out. Fastest I have ever filled a tag, of course the rest took me longer, had 40 acres to drag it. Good Luck Kevin
Love the air fryer basket idea! I have to get one now. 😊 Freeze dried spaghetti also tastes the same when rehydrated. Delicious.
BUGGIN OUT 👍
Remember jerky is easy to carry anywhere 😁
I can’t wait to get my own freeze dry, I am so use to cooking for a big family now that there is only two of us we have a lot of leftovers. Sarah I love your gray hair I started letting mine go gray also❤
For freeze drying scrambled eggs, under cook them. Rehydrate them with warm not boiling water. Otherwise they overcook and get tough.
I LOVE the idea of being able to freeze-dry foods. Gettin' older & hands object to heavy use now. But if I could do meals all at once, then freeze-dry them and use them as needed--it would give my weary hands a rest.
But given the price of freeze-dryers, it must remain just an "idea" for me! SSA Retirement only=
Love watching & learning from your videos! There's quite a few off-grid channels that I have unsubscribed from because they seem to find a conspiracy around every corner. Many thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge!!!
Freshly freeze dried food almost always tastes great! I’ve been taste testing freeze dried foods I stored in 2022. I’m finding that about half of it tastes inedible. The reasons for this are: using too large of a Mylar bag and not enough oxygen absorbers, some early batches I didn’t rinse the cooked meat before adding to the recipes. The good half had these corrections. Our animals LOVE the “inedible” foods!
Live and learn!
Great info. Thanks
Kevin, I'm Tellin! LOL🤫🤣🤣🤣
