sorry for the loss of your Father-in-law-
I had some green onion in the freezer and needed the space, so I dehydrated it and it kept its color and the flavor better than just dehydrating. Now I freeze all of them before dehydrating. Happy accident! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the encouragement to test the limits on what I can dehydrated. As the Bible says “test all the things, hold fast to that which is true”. 😊
I also appreciate the Bible verse on how generous God is. I’ve added it my online journal of my favorite Bible quotes.
God bless you. ❤
I was worried about my frozen blueberries getting freezer burned so I decided to dehydrate them. I know you had mentioned fermenting frozen items are sometimes iffy, but I have used them mixed with other things. Right now I have fresh lemons, dried blueberries and dried hibiscus in a gallon jug...yes, another fizzy drink that tastes amazing!
I'm dehydrating blood orange slices which is taking FOREVER. The last time I did oranges they weren't all the way dry apparently and got soft in the vacuum sealed jar. Also doing some rhubarb, but the majority of that I froze just because I have the room at the moment in the freezer.
And YES - it's fun to experiment with different things! Great video again Heidi! God bless!!
The dehydrated avocado skin when powdered is good for the garden that is what I use mine for
Best food preservation and prepardness channel on youtube.....bar none. My kitchen/pantry is unrecognisable, compared to before learning from Heidi about 18 months ago.... it's full of glass kilner jars of dehydrated veggies... beans... home made no-sugar chocolate , fermented carrots and onionns...powdered kale and spinach (great in casseroles)...... freshly milled wheat ! That was a real game changer.... along with the brake bleeder pump(s) 2 is one, one is none....
I ditched my tv 15 Yrs ago.... I watch a lot of RUclips, so I've watched many lesser chanhels.... you're an inspiration....both of you...Thank you :) 🙏
Edited for punctuation..spelling :)
My favorite is rhubard. I then use it as pectin to thicken jams, soups, etc. It doesn't take much when dried or powdered. It frees up my freezer space.
Yes, I love dehydrating and powdering rhubarb for its many uses
I'm dehydrating walnuts right now...and am dehydrating almost all veggies and herbs, possible from the garden. Love it! And learned the most of you how to do it Heidi ...thank you!!!!!!!
Thanks Heidi for your inspiration and your motivation ❤️🙏
Great video! Makes sense to me!
Heidi, I love your sense of adventure in your food preps! 😄 Thank you for sharing & doing it in such a fun way! Shalom!
Thanks Heidi! Another great one! I gave dehydrating rhubarb a go this week. Also, right now in the dehydrator is apple and peach butters....I recently went thru to cull older canned jars and thought, why not try to dehydrate it? I figured as cooked down as they were, low sugar, that they might make for good fruit roll ups. We'll see!
Last summer I had a lot of ping tung eggplant it’s a long lavender variety that’s become our favorite. I had dehydrated a few quarts plain then decided to try eggplant jerky. I sliced it.. long slices were better than circles the circles got too hard. The marinate was coconut aminos, maple syrup and cracked black pepper. Made sure crispy dry and vacuum sealed in wide mouth jars because I could arrange them better. In a wide mouth. It’s become a favorite snack. This year I’m planning on trying other marinates possibly an Italian herb or spicy southwest.
Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to keep trying new things.
I have dehydrated multiple items in my dehydrator, I have a Nesco with the motor in the lid. I have not yet tried liquids or meats uet
I love my dehydrators. I also love my freeze dryer. I've been able to store just about everything. Worth every penny. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you Heidi!🌻🐛🌿💚💕🙏
I finally got some eggs dehydrated, then powdered. They turned out great. If not for your video, I never would have thought to try it. I also did some rice and that also worked well. Much cheaper than buying minute rice. You are just the motivator that I need!
I dehydrate okra' sprinkle ranch, taco seasoning, or just salt. I slice very thin. My grandchildren and l love it as snacks all through the yr .olive oil has gotten so costly im turning to better ways to cook
❤❤❤🕊️
❤ Thank you
I dehydrate all cheeses, I start with shredding it and putting paper towels under it on my dehydrator to absorb some of the grease. Vacuum seal, the longest I have kept it is for about 2 years and it was great for sauce
Recently I had a 'windfall' 😉 of little green peaches. I'm talking many gallons!! I pickled some sweet, some savory, and have several quarts of them. I then cut them off the pits, stewed and spiced--savory and sweet-- used my boat motor aka hand blender and dehydrated them like fruit leather. Duh, that's what it was...lol. At any rate, it turned out well, tedious work, but, the end product was very good and nutritious. My DIL and my grandkids loved it. Wastage turned into something tasty. I have nearly two gallons of the cooked pulp left, Think I'll make some pumpkin spice leather--to enjoy next fall. I sometimes dry dibs and dabs of leftovers and keep them for my chickens.
I dehydrate mushroom stems, then blend to a powder to use in soups, gravies, etc.

Hedi I must say you have opened my world on dehydrating food I had bought a corsori shortly before I found your channel and started watching you with the wood stove which I have too but haven't used but wow all you do is so impressive thanks so much for sharing these with us greatly appreciated ❤
I just love my wood stove. With glass door, better than TV !
Thank you Heidi. Several things I am interested in. I dehydrated yellow squash. Delicious when taken fresh out of the dehydrator. Nice and crisp. Similar to kettle chips in sweetness, however it did not store well past 1-2 days.
I know that you have mentioned in a past video that you have dehydrated cheese. I plan on experimenting with that, but I plan to use cut to fit the trays, linen kitchen towels to absorb some of the fat. I have successfully dehydrated riced cauliflower for a friend. Only drawback. Is the tiny dehydrated particles seem to powder and then snow all over the work surface. Lots of product for small amount of results. I prepared tht friend a case of various dehydrated vegetables as we are entering into hurricane season.
And thank you again for imparting so much information and research on various items and ways to preserve. ML to you and Patrick for all that you do for this community. May God continue to bless, provide and protect you. P.S. I went pork free about 9-10 years ago. I appreciate your mentioning where you found beef bacon, I will see if I can order some. Again, thank you for all you do.
I suggest vacuum sealing those chips once cooled and between using so they will retain their crispness
Thank you for always sharing..
I've been dehydrating the greens that winter over and going to seed... spinach, kale, Swiss Chard... Thank you for the video. God bless.
Cream cheese and bone broth. Those sound good.
Thanks for info.
🙏🕊🙏
❤
Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
That pretty much sums it up- thank you! Shalom!
I'm gonna try dehydrating sliced dill and sweet pickles & then hydrate in vinegar instead of water.
Thank you Heidi. 😊
Freeze dry that avocado...,..tastes perfect 😋
For those who really want or have a freeze drier, that would be a good plan. I personally have no interest in a freeze dryer and while I like avocado, it is not important enough for me to spend that kind of money on something that takes up that kind of space and I have no guarantee it will work past a couple of runs.
@@RainCountryHomestead I have had mine for 4+ years now, I assure you I do much more than avocados. That was an experiment. I do full meals, strawberries, mangos, cherries, chicken, beef, peas, carrots,pork,etc. etc. you get the idea.
I know freeze dryers are expensive and it turned out to be my big "splurge" item 2 years ago. And I'm not looking back. I tend to cook things in big batches which yield lots of "leftovers". I freeze dry my leftovers and store have made up meals to go by storing in mylar bags. At Christmas I gifted all my kids freeze dried meals as part of their emergency prep and bug out supplies I also gifted them. Freeze died is lighter, takes up less storage space, and is less fragile than canned items. Bonus: I locally source my meats and grow my own veggies so they know for sure what they have is healthier and more wholesome than anything they can make themselves. Also, I have canned things I made like "beef stew, chili and spaghetti, freeze dried and rehydrate, hands down, taste more like fresh from the pot, and has a better consistency than reheated canned items.
@@brucelarson4283 Yep, I know several who love theirs and I have nothing against that, I am just not interested after doing thorough research, trying many freeze dried foods and finding few I actually like, and hearing horror stories of many who had theirs break down in short order. I know that is not the case for all though. I can afford one and was even offered a free one but turned it down. I have a long list of reasons why it is personally not for me and I love finding ways I can dehydrate many things without the need for one. It has become a challenge that I gladly accept, especially for the sake of those who cannot afford such a lavish expense yet feel pressured into getting one.
Thank you Heidi! 🙂
I'm pretty sure that the freezing before dehydrating expands the molecules much like water expands when it freezes. That would make the dehydrated product lighter and crispier. I may be wrong but it makes sense to me. 😉
Blessings always! 💜
That is my thought too on that
Still love your channel...
Lol....meat
cook
freeze/dry....(Sounds like a freeze dryer)lol....
😂💖🥴
Yes, it works in a similar fashion but you can save yourself thousands of dollars by not purchasing a freeze dryer
you are so creative
Thank you Heidi. I want to dehydrate milk. I will check the video you published in 2023. ❤😊❤
🥰
Heidi, my main concern in experimenting would be if a product would spoil before it, dehydrated and cause a food safety issue. Is there any rule to go by there?
You would know by smell and taste (you can always spit it out if it tastes bad)
I've learned so much from you about trying things. I've dehydrated my firecider fixings and citrus peels, both of which I've powdered and used as flavorings in beef jerky marinade and they are fantastic! I also dehydrate tomatoes, zucchini and mashed winter squash, all of which I powder and use to thicken soups instead of using flour. It's fun to try things! The only thing that I need to retry sometime is mushrooms. Initially, they turned out great but turned out to be not completely dry after storage.
Maybe dipping avocado in lemon juice & then dehydrating would give it a better flavor. ???
👁👁 Happy to drop by
Hoosier Farms …❤️ love love
Thank you and God Bless 🙏
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
Thank you!! Hi to Tom Turkey!
Glad I learned potato spouts were poison before I ate them stir fried like bean spouts 😂 now I know why I shouldn't have even tried it.
Yup try a little first - I tried dehydrating asparagus - yuck - could not eat it dried or rehydrated
🥰🤍
I need to do more dehydrating. I always am anxious about leaving it on at night. I know they're safe and you can do that but that's my big dilemma. Anybody give me some self-assurance on that?
If I am running mine on solar power, which is mostly what I am doing, I unplug them as soon as the sun is no longer hitting the panels so I do not drain our bank over night. That is one of the many things I prefer about dehydrating over freeze drying is that I can do that. with a freeze dryer, you must allow it to finish its run or you have to start over, at least from what I understand
@@RainCountryHomestead Oh cool, so I could stop it when I go to bed and start it again as soon as I get up?
@@laneadamslivingwell Yep, I do it quite often though with meats, milk, and eggs, I do try to start those early so they have all day to dry by bedtime so they are not sitting on the trays all night only half dried
I’m curious if you have tried the freeze-dehydrate meet method with fruit.
I think I have dried frozen fruit before but now I cannot remember for sure or what the outcome was
I've tried dehydrating raw milk and it didn't work. I tried again by removing as much cream as possible but failed again. It stays gummy and smells spoiled.
I dehydrated on "raw" setting which is 115 degrees. Any tips?
When she says see below-there is nothing below. How do I see that?
The description box is just below the video screen. You need to click on the word "...more" in order to open it and find the links and more therein. I did end up just putting the full dehydrating playlist instead of individual video links
Sometimes on mobile devices, you might have to hit "more" again within the description box.
Heidi, What are your thoughts on dehydrating raw whole milk? I'm wanting to try but would appreciate your opinion ❤
The same as dehydrating pasteurized. If I had access to whole raw milk, I would dehydrate it as is
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you 😊
We tried dehydrating 2 slices of thin sliced smoked turkey sandwich meat. It turned out chewy & I would not recommend.
Try freezing then dehydrating after it is smoked
i would love to dehydrate elderberry but the berries are so small that they would fall through. Is there some sort of paper that can be used to prevent that?
This is what I have been doing for years: ruclips.net/video/SbNZeAOHtz4/видео.html
Just a question please, I tried to dehydrate fresh cows milk but it didn’t work milk can you tell me if you’ve tried that or do I need to do something to it because it 🙂was very thin and not normal so do you have any ideas of why it didn’twork please thank you
It may have been the temperature you used or length of time. Please go check out my milk dehydrating video that you will find in the playlist I linked to in the description box. This method should work on either fresh or pasteurized, however, if you leave more fat in it than what is in store bought whole milk, this could also be a reason it is not drying up real crisp
Heat on the yogurt doesn't kiil the good bacterial?
No because you are using a low enough heat to not worry about that
I’ve tried twice to dehydrate goats milk. Both times it dries but when I chop it in the blender it cakes up. I even put it in the oven at 175 degrees with door cracked to dry it more. Total failure. Not sure why!
While I do dehydrate at a much lower heat, my guess is your milk is higher in fat than standard whole milk
Can peanut butter be dehydrated
It may have too much fat to dehydrate nicely. You can buy peanut butter powder but a good amount of the fat has been removed from it: ruclips.net/video/8eMy0ZoTuRk/видео.html
