Never ever had the thought of dehydrated food. Off to buy a dehydrator. Love the apron. Made my hubby smile, as I am the only person he knows who wears an apron whilst cleaning and have one for cooking. Goes back to my mother and aunties. ❤🙏👍🥰
Hi Anita! Aw I love that. I love my aprons. Keeps my clothes clean…feels like my homemaking uniform haha! Everyone knows when I put the apron on, it’s kitchen time lol!
I did some last year with just salt. I’m gonna try this recipe in a couple days. Might even add some Tony Chachere’s Cajun seasoning on them. Thanks for the recipe!!!
Great idea. I think I'll use a mandolin and I'll use your basic recipe to experiment with types and amounts of salt, vinegar and oil as well as time in the dehydrator. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! I was just messin’ around one day. I want to get some merch for the channel! I think an apron is fitting for the homestead niche and I’m always in the kitchen! 😊
Two batches of cucumbers are in the dehydrators now. This is by far the best taking recipe I’ve tried. Shared some with my neighbor, now she wants the recipe too… and she brought over more cucumbers 🥒 to make the chips with! 🤣 Love the 9 tray dehumidifier too!!! I was able to get so much more started than with the one I borrowed from Mom. Thank you!!!
First time watching your channel. I have my cucumbers 🥒 in my mom’s borrowed dehydrator now and the dehydrator you show ordered! I’m so excited for this great way to use the bountiful cucumbers we have this year! A person can only eat so much cucumber/tomato salad and freeze so much cucumber purée!
@@HomeFreeAlaska I watched your video and immediately cut up my cucumbers. I cant get them dry enough. I have a question that I cant find an answer to. Can I use my vacuum sealer to store my dehydrated veggies and fruits? I am trying to keep my food in light weight packages and not in glass that will break. I do have oxygen absorbers but didn't know if the can be sealed. So much to learn.
@@triciawardlaw2079 yes!!! You can get to our shop with this link or go to my “store” tab on our RUclips channel! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for supporting our channel! 🥰
Looks like you could replace the cukes with zucchini or even, GASP, thinly sliced and blanced potatoes. Whatever you use, I agree they won't last long.
I absolutely loved your video and idea but I cant find the amount of your ingredients. For some reason my phone isnt showing me. Would you please tell me how much you use. Im super new to dehydrating and super excited about cucumber chips.
Hot and humid in Virginia? You haven’t been to Houston in the summer, two days ago with temp and humidity officially it felt like 116. Not the 116, “dry heat” in Vegas where when going into the shade one needs to put on a sweater because it gets cold. Looking forward to giving this a try.
I made these last night. Started my Excalibur dehydrator at 9:30 pm and turned off today at 1:30 pm in afternoon. 16 hours. They seemed crispy and crunchy but when I picked them up, they were greasy on the underside. Anyone eating them would get very greasy hands. I just put them on parchment lined cookie sheets and in over at 175. I will check in and hour and maybe give them a stir before then. I did not use olive oil, but ‘Chosen’ brand, organic avacado, coconut and safflower oil. Did not think that would make a difference. Any ideas? I did learn that I should have used a larger cuke for more uniform pieces. Some of mine are pretty small after shrinking. I did enjoy your video. I also made your refrigerator dill pickles and love them. Thank you.
The salt was wayyyyy too much & you have to let the cucumbers get super big on the vine for huge slices. A regular cucumber slice dehydrates to the size of a quarter or less which gives you teensy chips. I’m tweaking the recipe, tasting the brine on a slice before dehydrating & also slicing the cucumber in half & then lengthwise to make the chips a more normal size. The brine recipe (with much less salt) is surprisingly delicious. I’m going to try this on potatoes too!
Just came up from my garden with a crap load of cucumbers & decided to search up -can I dehydrate cucumbers ??-(I didn’t think I could because of the high water content.)- so thank you very much for posting this !!! PS -why is it called Home Free Alaska if you’re sweating in Virginia??
I was curious, if you have ever frozen any cucumbers, and then in thawing perhaps in water in the refrigerator, or on the counter afterward tried to complete the same cucumber chips?
I have a question about using oil in the brine recipe; wouldn't that put a lipid layer on the cukes that would slow down the dehydration process? Or does it serve some other purpose?
Hi there! It doesn’t slow down the process at all. 😊 I always dab them a bit with a paper towel if I get too much oil on there. But you can make this recipe with just the salt & vinegar if you don’t want to use the olive oil. It’ll work out just fine with or without the oil. I just like the texture the oil gives to the chips.
First visit to your stream .. and thank you for being Yah (God) fearing,. LORD in the OT is a substituted term ... not a translation or a transliteration. I will subscribe because of such too..
About how long can you store these in the pantry? Air tight (obviously lol), but what would be the best storage method and about how long? THANKS FOR THESE VIDEOS BY THE WAY!
Which size oxygen absorber would you use for a 1/2 gallon jar of these cucumber chips? Would it be same for dehydrated apple slices? I have same dehydrator. I have quite a few cukes to use up and i have been sharing with friends and neighbors. Thank you
@@HomeFreeAlaska Thank you! I already tried it guessing at the amounts. Came out Great. Thanks for the response. BTW, we have close friends that live in Soldotna, Ak.
Note: I think you got a little side tracked and forgot the amounts but that's fine I just found it in your comments to this person. Thank you very much for the recipe - it sounds great
I remember visiting my Aunt Shirley as a child, and in her kitchen there was a small wooden plaque above the pantry door which read something along the lines of ....This aint Burger King where you can "have it your way", this is My Kitchen, and in My Kitchen, you get it My way or you don't get the son of a bitch at all.... I never complained lol, and she would fix me the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the whole world ❤🤣😁 Man what I wouldn't give to go back in time to the early 90s and be 6 years old sgain..hahaha

Hello!! Sooooo I actually JUST created my merch store for my RUclips channel (that was painful haha)…I got notification that it takes RUclips a few days to approve my products/design and then they will be available on my channel under the “store” tab! I’ll try to remember to come back to you & let you know once it’s up! Very exciting! ♥️
Hi Mariah! The recipe is in the description of the video too, if that's helpful to you! But the brine is 1 cup apple cider vinegar to 2 TBS salt & about 1/4 cup of olive oil.
I am not a picky eater but these tastes like grass with salt and oil on them! Will not do it again. Also tried drying plain cucumbers, very grassy tasting! Disappointing!🙁
Grassy?! What kind of cucumbers were you using?! Mine have never tasted like “grass,” they’re delicious. To each their own. Just because you didn’t like them, doesn’t mean they’re gross. They’re just gross to you. Thanks for the lovely comment though!😉
THUMBS DOWN on your nasty, rude comment. Open your eyeballs and look in the video description like I said IN the video. The written recipe is there. Goodness…you should try being a little kinder in life. I realize it’s easy to be nasty on the internet because you don’t have to look me in the eyes when you do it…but that’s pretty cowardly don’t ya think?🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Like I said at minute 6:00 of the video, you can use regular vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Doesn’t matter which one I used because you can use either, that’s why I made sure to point that out. 😉 And the measurements and recipe is in the video description like I said in the video! You’re welcome. SMH!👌🏻
Love Your Apron. Plus recipe Help with another direction Greatly.
I can't stop getting salt & vinegar lays chips & thought of a resolution & found your video!! I'm excited to try this!!

Love your apron.
Mine are in the dehydrator now! Thanks Tina! 🥰 The cucumbers alone with the brine taste amazing. I can't wait to eat the chips!
This was seriously one of my favorite snacks to dehydrate! Such a yummy treat & way better than potato chips! 😉
I did some last year with just salt. I’m gonna try this recipe in a couple days. Might even add some Tony Chachere’s Cajun seasoning on them. Thanks for the recipe!!!
I’m going to be growing a lot of cucumbers this season, so besides making my favorite cucumber salad, I’m definitely making cucumber chips too! 😋
This tastes AMAZING! 🎉 Thanks so much Tina for sharing!!❤

I love dehydrated foods I need to check out that dehydrator. Mine doesn’t do a very good job and is not consistent
Yes check it out. I love the Excalibur. Like I said I’ve had it for like 5 yrs & use the heck out of it lol! Works great. 😊

Oxygen packs take oxygen out not moisture but you can get other things for the moisture
I just made some cucumber chips
I was curious, if you have ever frozen any cucumbers, and then in thawing perhaps in water in the refrigerator, or on the counter afterward tried to complete the same cucumber chips?
I’ve never frozen cucumbers. I would worry about them getting mushy in the center when they thaw. But I’m not sure.☺️
