* I would retitle this video "Freeze dry vs Dehydration preservation experiment" as SO MANY are searching for that type of video, and lots of people who need this lesson can find it! :) xoxoox
@@geraldineconway1865 Agreed. I have unsubscribed from some channels because of that. There is so much content that is easily searchable. The crazy titles do not appeal to me.
Agree sadly alot of the homesteading videos arent searchable
I consider Becky’s channel educational, so I absolutely hate it when I can’t search for a specific video based on the title
Agree 1000%. Not sure if creators can retitle videos after posting as I've noticed misspellings or wrong dates on peoples videos that never got fixed.
Great idea!
Having been a science teacher for 25 years…I have to tell you, that you are excellent in the way that you present information. You have a way of not sounding condescending and you make us feel like we’re just coming along with you for the ride. You should be very proud of yourself. As my middle school students say… You make “sciencing” fun
Wow! What a nice statement!❤ Yes, I agree! I'm 62 and to me she's a gem! Same age as my youngest 😂🎉🎉
Rose Red Homestead does a lot of freeze drying, dehydrating and canning videos. She is a wealth of knowledge and teaches safe canning practices.
Just enjoyed her dehydrator/freeze dryer experiment comparison on preserving potatoes of different forms. It was great!
I love her channel too❤️
If anyone is looking for a more affordable option than the Excalibur, the Cosori dehydrator also has the heating/fan on the back. I love mine!
Magic mill has a fan on back also 👍
@@justmynamehere that’s the one I just bought. All metal and no hot plastic fumes. 10 trays. I Love it
I have a Cosori as well. I love it!
I love my Cosori!!
My corsi just arrived today! Such an upgrade from my plug it in and it turns on unit!
You are a really great teacher!!
Wow, thank you!
I am always touched when you thank us for spending time with you. i have to tell you that it is ALWAYS a pleasure to be with you, and I always finish the vlog feeling uplifted and energised
I never knew you could split a banana in three like that! That just blew my mind!
Mine too! Unfortunately, I don't like Bananas. I'd love to try that method.
Me either. I slice them to put on cornflakes or bite them. Never had a reason to split them before.
I want a freeze drier SO bad!! I love the idea of freeze drying eggs and other foods that cannot be canned or dehydrated.
I'm glad I came across this video today as I'm debating the expensive purchase of a freeze dryer vs a dehydrator... plus the amount of room needed.
Same here!!
Ditto
@@chrissyt22 the freeze dryers are too expensive ....😪
@Julie Phillips thank you !
I have both of a dehydrator, and freeze dryer. I’m like you Becky, I love them both for different things. The one thing I can say about the medium versus the large freeze dryer, is the large freeze dryer requires a designated outlet. The medium can be plugged into any outlet. That is the only reason I went with a medium over a large. I Did not want to have to hire an electrician to put in a special plug, plus if I decided I wanted to use it in a different location, I wouldn’t be able to. Great video
this is really good to know, thanks!
that is great to know thank you for sharing! also, would you advise getting the oil free pump?
@@paigeburton8995 Get the premier oil pump! The oilless pump isn't worth the cost.
Tips for a freeze dryer: (especially if you live in a humid/hot climate)
1. Its best to take out 1 tray at a time and package it to prevent moisture from softening it. Also it's best to warm the trays a few times to make sure the food is not cold so that when you open the door it doesn't attract moisture to it. (think about condensation on a cold glass)
2. Its possible to fit more food onto the tray to maximize your use of the freeze dryer. I've found that I can do multiple layers of certain foods with parchment paper between them. Ex. 3 layers of banana slices per tray.
3. If you have the ability to prefreeze your trays you'll save so much freeze drying time. This is great especially if its the summer months as the freeze dryer can dump a lot of heat into your home while its running which makes your ac have to work harder.
Excellent video. Your explanations for *why* you're doing things (like splitting the bananas) are useful mini life hacks.
That was amazing when Becky did that to a banana. Who knew?
I've never been this quick to see a video before... I'm watching from my tiny London kitchen. I love your way of life and style of cooking but we just don't have that kind of space. I am trying to find ways of translating your batch cooking and freezing of food into small kitchen, small fridge freezer life! Thanks for being so sweet and genuine. It is your charm, please don't ever lose that! Xxx
Wow thank yo9u for watching and your kind words, Keeley!
I am doing the same. Trying to learn from Becky but scale it all down to feed only two people. Have learned so much so far.
Becki, you are so inspiring! Even for a single, 50-something yr old living in a small apt just outside of Vancouver, BC. I try to follow your guides so whatever you're making or preserving works for me. So thank you, I super appreciate you, that's for sure! Have a great day.
yoo I'm from metro van too haha, nice to see a local here!
@@maxzytaruk8558 me three!
Me too, but on the island!
💛
I'm all the way across the country from Becky. Becky, you have a teacher hiding inside you... you have a thing for teaching, I believe. Cheers from Vermont!
Becky you are such an excellent teacher! Thank you for all the time you take to explain things so thoroughly. :)
Thank you so much!
I also agree.
@@AcreHomestead
Can you tell me if you would recommend getting the freezer dryer that you need to replace the oil or the one that you never need to do that?
I'm just curious your thoughts. It's something that I'm saying up for, and am curious if it makes sense to spend the extra $1500 or not.
Thank you!
I enjoy watching you AND YOUR FAMILY in these videos but most of all I love listening to you. You definitely did your homework with all the tasks you perform. I love that you give the history of things and the reasons why you should or should not do certain things when performing these projects. Food, garden, building, etc. Now for my biggest surprise ....I am 68 and I NEVER SAW A BANANA SPLIT LIKE THAT LOLOL LUV YA AND KEEP ON SHARING!!!!!
WHAAAAAAAAAT? Mind blown over the banana "split"! I had no idea a banana had three sections like that...I learn the best (and most bizarre) things from you! Thanks for being you!
We freeze our fruits on our second set of trays in the deep freeze before we put them in the freeze dryer, makes for less time! My favorites are blueberries, strawberries, bananas and blackberries! We use the silicone pan liners so things like fruit don’t stick to the pans. We just freeze dried a months worth of breast milk for my niece who has twin girls. We put the portions in Mylar bags and she’s good to go! Freeze dried chicken and ground beef (cooked) comes back nicely!! Love your channel Becky!! Dehydrating removes a major part of the nutrition vs. freeze drying keeps around 97% of the nutrition.
Baby is down for a nap and I have a fresh cup of coffee - perfect time for a Becky video!! Thank you!!
Aw thank you!
I really enjoy watching all of your videos. I wish I had of know about all of this 40 years ago!! It would’ve helped a great deal raising our family and feeding on a tight budget!
I’m glad your doing this so the younger generation will know and hopefully understand how very important these things are!!
Keep up the good work!!

I would love to see you do a video on freeze drying whole "camp" or survival type meals. Like a meat a starch and a veggie all together that you just add hot water to. That would be cool to learn how to do. (like mountain house meals but DIY)
Same! I would love this!
Oh hell yeah!!!
“Retired at 40” (Live Life Simple) on RUclips does comparison videos that you’re wondering about. 🙂
@@lorrieaaron7224 Thank you!
@QueenofCreepsville
You're very welcome!
He's a really great resource too :)
So informative- congrats on your new homestead!!!
Becky girl I absolutely love hanging out with you daily!!! You have a real gift for explaining and giving instruction to others. I honestly just feel so much better about my RUclips binging because I feel like I truly learn life skills from you! Thanks for being you!
Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation between the two.
All Those Fruit Scraps! Your chickens are going to think you're throwing some sort of a party for them. Hahahaha
Hi Becky, in past videos you have discussed your issues with reading. I just saw a post on Facebook that's talking about a new type font, I believe its called :Bionic", each word starts out bold and then lightens. It says it's for adhd but I thought it may assist you as well. Keep up the amazing videos! You are so encouraging and joyful to watch. God bless!
Heyyyy beautiful SoilSista! So this is interesting... We grow over 100 fruit trees tropical and none tropical. This video is on point . We have banana, pineapple, dragon fruit, passion fruit, watermelon, strawberry, mango, fig, guava and citrus right now on our plants. Exciting ❤️ I use alot of our fruit for smoothies. Freeze drying is a total game changer. Thanks for sharing SoilSista we appreciate you
Dehydrated strawberries are soooo good in oatmeal! You could make your own flavored oatmeal packets with dehydrated strawberries, sugar, and freeze dried cream. So magical. ✨
You’re so good at explaining things. You go through the important points at a pace that is so easy to learn and take it in and remember but at the same time, you’re not dragging it out and being boring. That’s what I love about all your videos. You are to the point but still so enjoyable to watch. I think you have a really great balance. Love your channel 👍🏻❤️
I am excited to see your results. Many years ago when my kids were little we did a comparison with store bought items.
That is awesome!
@@AcreHomestead store bought definitely don't have the quality of done at home. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you for this video you are such a good teacher. I have a dehydrator only, would love a freeze dryer, but being 70 and living alone I don't see it being practical. I don't garden but hope to get some produce from farmers markets this year to dehydrate. Continued blessings to you, Josh and families.
You are so welcome!
I learn so much from you! I absolutely love how you educate on all aspects of each "teaching" (couldn't find the word I wanted, so teaching it is) video you share. Thank you for sharing your world with the rest of us!
Thank you Becky, that's one of the best describtion I heard! Great job!🤗❤
i love to dehydrate apples covered in cinnamon. oh so good
fantastic comparison - you didn't run one down to make a point - information only. Good for you!
My freeze dryer is very new so still experimenting too. Had a strange discovery. My daughter gets a scratchy throat and stomach ache when she eats fresh strawberries, but when I freeze dry them, she can eat all she wants with no effects. Go figure. 🤷♀️
oh wow that is amazing! that would be so sad not to be able to eat strawberries!
The reason for that is in the allergen: when it's cooked/dried/freeze dried the allergen lose its tructure and can't create allergic reaction anymore. So if she's reacting to any other fruits, keep freeze drying them so she can keep eating them.
I wonder if the freeze kills the allergens? Very interesting. 😊
@@elo6134 thank you! Great to know!
Ohhh this is interesting! My daughter does the same with snap peas!
This was great to see the differences between these and the uses for each. 💚
Very educational video as usual. Could listen to you all day. Love your enthusiasm and energy. 😁🇮🇪
Thank you! 😃
I love your videos Becky! The second best part of tuning in is that there are awesome people who share information freely and I get to learn so much! Thank you, Becky, and thank to this community you've created!
You know you love a RUclipsr when you *hope* they get sponsored by big people. Like if that freeze dryer company could sponsor you that'd be so cool. You deserve it!!!
Wow thanks! I'm not sponsored by them :) this is just my review. That would be cool if I was
I was just thinking the same thing!! I've never come across anything you can buy now a days, that has a good manual, let alone excellent how to videos. I NEVER would buy something so expensive as the dehydrator, freeze dryer or canning equipment from just the info you get from the manufacturer. But with Becky's video's, woo hoo!! It really looks like I could do it! Thank you Becky for all you do, you rock!🤗👍👍
@@patlynn2418 right??? She makes me feel like I can do anything in my tiny little apartment 😂😂
@@AcreHomestead Maybe is time to make some phone calls. I've seen other RUclipsrs get discounts from the company that makes the freeze dryer in exchange for videos. Worth checking into it.
@@AcreHomestead they’ve sponsored two of the people I watch ( if not totally giving them a brand new freeze dryer with all the bells and whistles like oilless pump for example, at least it was at a very big discount which would still help! ) thank you for this video! ❤️
Sometimes the things I learn from you, Becky, just blow me away. I eat bananas nearly every day--have done for years--but I didn't know it came in 3 sections! Thank you!
I agree I am in my 50's and never knew this about a banana so I am going to have to educate my grandbabies . they will get a kick out of this. A true banana split
Are you serious?? You’ve never noticed that the banana is in 3 equal parts? When you take a bite it sometimes will be very obvious and break off only 2 parts. Not to mention if you just look at it you can easily tell.
Cosori is another dehydrator brand (stainless steel square one I use) that has the heating element in the back with a fan to circulate air. I love mine. Banana chips, pineapple chips, apple cinnamon chips, zucchini chips and jerky are among my favorite snacks to dehydrate in it.
Excellent and informative. You covered the two ways of preservation so well. Thanks for your hard work!
I am so excited to see all the nifty ways you will use that freeze dryer! Thanks for sharing, I've been slowly working my way through all of your videos in the last few months and I am always so inspired by them!
I dehydrate nearly all my fruits and veggies at 95* in my Excalibur. It takes longer to dehydrate but is virtually raw with nearly all nutrients intact. Halved Italian plums from my tree are my favorite dehydrated snack. My second is kale chips. (One bunch Kale torn into large pieces, 2 T olive oil, 1-2 T Braggs or tamari, juice of 1 lemon and a 1/4 to 1/3 C of nutritional yeast. Massage and soak 5 min then dehydrate at 95*.) They’re amazing and raw and healthy!
Need to try out that dehydrated kale recipe!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I got an Excalibur last year and haven't used it much, but I will do it for sure the way you did.
Freeze dried Italian plumbs are one of my favorite things.
@@madesimplyathome953 I love them dehydrated but I will have to try freeze drying them this year! Thanks!
May I ask how long it takes you to dehydrate herbs at 95 in your Excalibur?
This video is exactly what I needed to see! Not in a place to get either right now but as much as I like dehydrated fruits I think freeze dried is what I would want to use more! I would love to see the soups you have made and how to reconstitute them into soup :)
I hear you. I cant afford either right now but my air fryer supposedly dehydrates. I'm gonna try dehydrating some sweet potatoes for our dog pretty soon. We will see how that works out. Can't imagine it would be close to using a real dehydrator. 🤔
Ok, this is my second video of yours that I have watched since newly subscribing. Absolutely fabulous!! I learned so much from this video. You’re great!!
I’m just love binge watching your videos! This video was so informative! Thanks Becky for all of your videos! I’m going to continue to watch them order until I get to the most present one!
You are very thorough and informative. Thanks.
I gotta thank you. You have a very good and informative and informative show here. I will keep on watching I haven't cannned, frozen or dehydrated. I grow a garden. I might try canning. You have given me the possible confidence to try.
Thanks Becky, for the comparison of the two. I have two dehydrators and like them the freeze 🥶 dryer will be too costly for me. I enjoy your videos. 😊
Ditto on the Cosori 6 tray dehydrator. I love mine.
Becky , thanks for explaining everything so clearly . This is all new to me and you explain the process and the why’s so well . Xx
This is the most informative video I’ve ever seen on dehydration vs freeze drying. I was beginning to think I’d never find the answers.
Thank you so much Becky.
Becky - you are SO GOOD at what you do! Thank you for making these videos.
LOVE freeze dried fruit! Yogurt is awesome too! I'd also suggest using a desiccant for FD fruit along with an oxygen absorber. You did a great job teaching the differences between FD and dehydrated!
You did an excellent job of explaning everything. I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much.
I would love to see how herbs do in the freeze dryer! I can't wait to get one someday.
Yes! Compare herbs in the two machines please. That would be awesome.
Yea! This makes me excited.
That banana thing blew my mind, I had no idea!
i had no idea about those three banana sections. that is so cool. Thanks for teaching me this 💕
There are quite a few other dehydrators on the market that have the fan and heating element in the back. I have a Cosori and it was a fraction of the cost of the Excalibur and I love it.
I use to dehydrated baby Porta Bella mushrooms. They were so good and kept for years. Sometimes I dried them extra long and made mushroom powder.
Great side-by-side, thank you!
Thanks for showing us the difference between between the dehydrator and the freeze dryer. I am looking forward to preserving as much as possible this year.
When i saw Becky Was shocked i KNEW it was going to be a stellar extra special video. GREAT TITLE!@@@@@@
Great comparison of both, you did a great job explaining! I would LOVE a freeze drier, but at this time I don't see it being worth the money. Last year I would have not hesitated, buy my husband has retired and I am now the only one working. Maybe someday!
Becky you need to freeze dry whole strawberries then dip them in chocolate they are the bomb and make the best every homemade gifts
Aw I was really hoping you were doing to do a taste test of all of them! Was looking forward to that!
Wow…Becky your vast knowledge is so impressive! Freeze Drying versus Dehydration happy you did the research so to educate us!
Craving one of your videos so I am Watching this one for a second time as just received my work table to set up my Harvest Right Freeze dryer. I can dehydrate in my oven at a low temp for hours but freeze drying will take my food preservation to a new level. We are planning our 2024 garden and will start seedlings here in a week or two here in Tx.
Always learning something new from you. I live in the same area as you. You inspire me every video
Excellent information, Becky!! I have a 9 tray Excalibur but wish I could afford a freeze dryer...this is one of your BEST videos. Thank you!!
This video is great! I was gifted a Gourmia dehydrator and it has the fan in the back as well and it's fairly affordable.
This was so well explained, each step we were there, seeing the difference in the fruits, this was *chefs kiss*
Becky,
You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr. Thank you so much for the content you share. I’ve learned so much from you. You are an inspiration. I look forward to your videos daily. On the rare occasion you don’t post, my day is just not the same lol.
I recently found your channel and I am enjoying watching and learning, especially about freeze drying and dehydrating foods.
Thank you for explaining and showing the difference! Very helpful!
well done ! You always work so hard and you are so organised.
Wow, so interesting, thank you Becky, love all your videos
Thank you for sharing this content! I enjoy your edification method. Feels comfortable and naturally pure. I would recommend your channel to all my friends and family.
Exceptional video, Very Informative!! Thank you Once Again, Becky ❤️
I think this is one of your best videos so far. You did a lot of research and shared it in a very clear, comprehensive manner. We also are learning the ins and outs of using our new Harvest Right freeze dryer. We have two dehydrators as well and plan on keeping and using them all just as you said. Thanks again for all the work you put in to make this awesome video!
i have a cosori dehydrator, its also square with the heating unit on the back, love it
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to freeze drying too and love to see what you can do.
Thank you Becky! Your content brightens my workday!
Wow, thank you!
I’m new to the channel but I’m loving your videos! This is my first year gardening and I found you when I was looking for resources on canning! Excited to try more ways to preserve food 🙂
Wholeheartedly agree on dehydrated pears! I like the dried pears better than fresh! I also love dehydrated strawberries. I have dehydrated salsa, which turns out like fruit leather. Good reconstituted over rice and beans.
I love the pears too! Yummy 😋
I just got a Cosori Dehydrator and I love it. The fan is in the back. The Excalibur was a little too much for pocketbook. I have only had it a few months and I have dried and powdered all sorts of stuff.
My brain 🤯 EXPLODED with the banana trick. That’s so cool. I learn so much from you. Thanks for taking the time to explain things SO well.
I just ordered my fd freeze dryer. Can't wait to get it.
I honestly had no idea what difference was between a dehydrator and and reconstitute, so this was very educational. Thank you!
Another great video Becky. I have a suggestion. When cutting bananas, strawberries and mushrooms you can use the pampered chef egg slicer (if you have one). Then, all of your slices will be even. When I sold Pampered Chef, we would recommend using the egg slicer for other things. I can't guarantee it to work with other egg slicers as I don't know how strong they are. You can also get replacement wires, so you don't need to buy another one. Or you can use an egg slicer from a dollar store and if it needs replacing it's only $1.25.
Hi Becky! I have to say you are adorable. Thank you for researching your content. I appreciate all the knowledge you bring to your videos. I feel like I need both, a dehydrater and a freeze dryer, lol.
Great information! Thank you.
Great information in this video! Thank You. I have an Air Fryer Oven that has a dehydration setting. I love to make thin sliced chicken breast jerky for my pups!
Very informative, thank you Becky.
I really enjoyed this video. I have 9 drawer Excalibur. Hope to add a freeze dryer in the future. My favorite item to dehydrate is celery. I make celery powder out of it. Stays fresh for years.
Thank you so much Becky! Very informative as always, I appreciate your knowledge and experience! I noticed they have freeze dried fruits at the grocery store now but the expiration dates are fairly short. I love adding the strawberries to my cereal!
I've been waiting for this video ever since you first mentioned it a few episodes ago, super informative and exciting to see the results
Thank you for explaining how freeze drying works
