Thankyou. Loved the scrambled egg part. I haven't ever found a person showing dehydrated cooked eggs
You're welcome. I hope it works well for you.
Great, best video I have seen yet. Like scrambled part best. New to drying eggs. My problem, dryer was not level. Eggs ran out, what a mess. Been drying foods for years. Never done eggs. Mine will be scrambled from now on. Old 86 year old prepper. God bless. 🐻🙏
You are an inspiration ❤️. Good luck! I hope it works out for you.
Bless you for being your age and still learning! You are an inspiration for me. I started preparing in my late 50s (now early 60s) and wish I had started 30 years or more ago; it is what it is and I praise The Father for all the learning and experience.
Hopefully others learn it is never too early or too late to learn how to prepare ❤️
My mom fried up bacon in a cast iron skillet, took the bacon out, and fried the eggs in grease so deep the eggs floated around in it and got all bubbly and lacy looking. I loved those eggs!💛💛💛
The best way!
@@LifePrepared ...🌹
Mine too!
My X used to cook them like that too. I like my whites cooked but not crispy…
I still make them this way. Best ever
I appreciate you showing us your tips..."saying you messed up"...and letting us learn from your time-issue! Thank you for sharing such good tips and insights and for posting! 🐥❤
Thank you. I want people to know that no one is perfect as many videos show.
Thank You! That’s it, I’m definitely investing in a dehydrator now 😀
Enjoy!
This is good information. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I learn something new every day! Lol!
I think that I like the pre-microwave approach of the two. It seems to offer a better result.
I will try this in a few days. I have to get more eggs to experiment with.
Let me know how it works for you.
Good 😊. This is the video i have been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing. More blessings. I love you mother 😊
You did a great demo! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you ❤️
Great video! Have never dehydrated eggs might need to try! Thanks Kim!
I much prefer the raw method but remember "it is not USDA approved" 🤷
@@LifePrepared I don't trust our Government! lol
Thank you! I have so many quail eggs now and was looking for a way to preserve them for winter. But now I'm going to dry them to take with me on a camping trip.
Try a few first to see if you like them rehydrated. Some people find the texture a bit rubbery. Although when camping or hiking, we tend to eat a bit different 🥰
Pretty much everything tastes good while camping. I powder my eggs and vacuum seal them in 2 egg portions for camping. I’ve never dried already cooked eggs.
So true lol.
I don't dehydrate raw BUT I like your microwave idea. Great for backpacking. Good video!
Thank you. I like to show both ways to give options.
Life Prepared: I have scrambled cooked eggs and dehydrated, and I have also done the raw---and my eggs go back to my girls as well! You and I are on the same chicken path! :) Love your channel! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thank you. Do you have a channel as well? If so, I would love to check it out.
@@LifePrepared Oh, heavens NO! :) I am simply living the "good life"...chickens, guineas, kitties, and soon other livestock! We are moving "spittin' distance" from Canada---way up there to 40 acres and will continue our homesteading....one day at a time! :) Thanks again for your channel...I will be checking it out further! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
I hope you live your best life ❤️ in your new home.
@@LifePrepared Thank you so much! I appreciate that! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thank you and thanks for overcooking 'em 'cos I now know what to look for. Luv fom 🇬🇧and good luck to you
Thanks for watching from overseas. I love British WW2 history.
very educational...mistakes and all..I learned alot from you doing this video..tks much
Thank you. I always show mistakes because then if it happens to someone else, they don't feel so bad. Or can avoid what I do wrong.
Thank you for your video and also I didn't even about using parchment paper in my dehydrater. Because I dry a lot of herbs, and they always fall thru to the tray underneath. Thank you for that tip
I got frustrated with things falling through and gave it a try. I use the parchment paper many times.
Very interesting !
Thanks 👍
if you make the raw a little thiner you don't have to keep going back and stir it ...if you use a mixer or processor and beat it fluffy it also helps ....
Thanks for the tips.
I have a dehydrater like yours but more modern, I like the idea I can dehydrate eggs with parchment paper
You have to make sure there is a lip on the parchment so liquid eggs don't spill off.
Life Prepared: I so feel your pain about having something else take your attention for a while and coming back to find some thing over done. Sigh. Such is the nature of life, so I’ve started putting a timer on my food-processing appliances when I think there’s a chance that I might get called away. Just those little timers that are intended for turning on your lamps when you’re away on vacation do a great job, and more than once they’ve most likely saved me from over cooking something or even burning down the house.
I enjoyed your video greatly, and I think it takes guts to show your vulnerabilities and “consequences” takes. I hope to see more of your work. :-)
Thank you so much for the kindness. I have a bad habit of thinking I will remember 🤦
For those dehydrating herbs. Cut out mats from plastic canvas which have small square holes. Takes two half moon shapes per rack.
Fantastic idea! Thanks.
Great demonstration! Thanks. Have you tried drying egg shells in a brown grocery sack for approximately 7 days. We toss egg shells into the paper bag & when the bag is close to full, crush them & feed them back to the hens and worms.
Great idea. I usually put them on a sheet pan and then into the oven. My oven is old and still has a pilot light so the oven is slightly warm. I could still do in the bag so it is easier later.
I just scramble all of the eggs and then powder them. I really hate fussing. Make sure that when you're doing liquid eggs you turn the over so that the wetter part is on top! Once you rehydrate you can always use an egg shaping form to get a nice round egg for a sandwich!
You can do a French scrambled eggs. You take a fine whisk and continue to whisk the eggs as they cook. The curds are small and fine when cooked
Thank you for sharing! I will try it next time..
How long are the cooked dehydrated eggs good for if put into Mylar bag?
I haven't had enough to last more than 3 years before I used them up.
Very informative video even for a vegan. 👍
Thank you for watching 💖
Do the precooked eggs that are dried taste any differently than the raw dehydrated eggs when powdered, reconstituted and then re-scrambled?
The taste is very similar but they can have a slightly rubbery texture. The problem for me is that I cannot turn them into a powder. They have a "BB" like size as one viewer stated. This is not a problem if you do not want to bake with them. For baking, I start with the eggs raw then dehydrate.
Very interesting. I may tried the cooked version. When using the dried eggs for baking do you have a measurement you use to equal one egg.
1 tablespoon egg powder, 2 tablespoons water, equals 1 egg. Thank you for watching.
@@LifePrepared Thanks--that is actually what I was thinking it would be.
I tried to find answers in the comments but decided to just post my questions. Q#1: How exactly do I use these in baking? Do I re-hydrate the powder with water and then add that to the mixture? Or just put the egg powder in with the dry ingredients? Q #2: Is this just for flavor in baking or does it actually bind like a raw/fresh egg would? Q #3: You mentioned in the video that you can also 'powderize' the dehydrated pre-cooked scrambled egg and use that in baking. Is there any downside to that? It seems a LOT easier than powderizing the raw egg. Thanks so much for the helpful video.
I use it as a powder in baking but you need to add 2 T of liquid per egg. It is easier to dehydrated lightly pre cooked eggs so it depends on your preference. Both work the same as any other egg in baking. Hth.
Which way to do this, do you feel is best. Dehydrating raw eggs or cooked? For better taste to be close to how they have the dehydrated eggs in #10 cans now. I would like to have something lighter for camping etc that actually tastes good after adding a Lil bit of water to cook. Thanks for any idea's, wish you the best.
The raw eggs tend to stick but are closer to the cans imo. Have a great day.
@@LifePrepared Thank you!!
Do I have to cook the eggs without oil or butter in a pan for the cooked version?
Yes! It would make them greasy and they won't preserve.
Thanks for the lesson......can I use a little 2% milk when scrambling eggs that are destined for the dehydrator.( Thanks in advance) Was concerned that milk would effect shelf life.
I would use the milk when rehydrating them instead. 1 T egg and 1T each water and milk.
Please forgive me, and I really appreciate you taking the time to help us and I'm learning so much about dehydrating. However, I would never put the eggshells over the top of my food. Just an observation.. thank you again!
Valid point, thanks ❤️
@@LifePrepared God bless!
THANK YOU
You are welcome 💖
Thanks
Hadn't thought about doing eggs 🤔
It's good to see when things don't go as planned because that's real life.
I hope I showing the mistakes people get more encouraged to try. If they don't see things can go wrong and if it happens to them a lot of people give up and think they're doing something wrong.
How do you reconstitute them for baking or for scrambled eggs
I first like to use them as a powder so I buzz them in my majic bullet. To use in baking, I add 1 tablespoon for each egg to the dry stuff. I add an additional 2tablespoons liquid per egg to the wet ingredients OR add 2 T warm water per T off egg and let it sit until reconstituted. I do not like to use them for scrambled eggs alone. For that, I freeze them.
Hi, I have a Presto dehydrator. I cannot adjust temp and the manual says temp is preset at 165°F. I'm wondering if I will inadvertently cook the raw eggs. Your thoughts? Maybe I need a dehydrator with adjustable temps.
I found with the ones you can't adjust, I had to rotate trays a lot of some got too dark.
@LifePrepared Thank you so much for such a quick reply. I like your plan... I will try today. My hens are laying pretty well so I might as well give it a try. Thanks again! 😊
I found giving a stir each time I switch layers helps keep them from sticking so bad.
Can you use something like grease proof paper or aluminum foil to pour the wet mixture on?
I think a silicone mat would work best, maybe the foil but the paper would absorb some of the eggs. I purchased silicone mats and plan on using them next time. In a couple months, I will have an over abundance of eggs again.
@@LifePrepared thank you for the reply! I will look up the silicone mats! Love your videos!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Wondered why you dry the egg shells? The moisture in fresh shells would help the chickens eat them better. If they break an egg they eat it when it’s fresh??
Just to be able to keep them longer.
What do you do when you powdered the eggs and while in the jars, waiting to be sure they are dry (dryed for 24 hrs and looked/felt totally dry), you notice a little slow release to the jar and a little 'clump?' I am thinking of vacuum sealing them in bags and freezing it!? Thoughts?
If they start to clump or if any signs of moisture in the jar, I spread out and dry in my oven at the lowest setting for an hour. Then I grind again. I vacuum seal in jars.
@@LifePrepared thanks! Would you start with an hour in the oven or more?
Start with an hour. Let cool completely and see if it still clumps. Sometimes eggs have an oily feel which will not go away but it should still powder and not show condensation on the jar. I like to leave my jar out for about a week before sealing. I shake every day after looking for condensation.
I notice you said you give the egg shells back to your chicken after you dehydrated the egg shells. Why do give them back to your chicken? I would like to be educated about this ?. Thanks for the video. Have a great day.
The shells are calcium which the girls need to make strong shells. They like them, lightly crushed, much more than the oyster shell. Thanks for asking.
How do you microwave your eggs before dehydrating them? How long do you microwave them?
The length of time depends on how many eggs you start with. I put them in a bowl, scramble then microwave for 1 minute, mix them up, go another minute, mix them up and so on until they are done. Usually it is about 1 minute per egg but that depends on how powerful the microwave is.
@@LifePrepared sounds like too much time in microwave. That's why they are rubbery. I personally don't use microwave for anything besides melting chocolate
How do you store them...in cabinet or refrig
I jars with oxygen absorbers in the cabinet.
Thank you for this video! What are the sheets made out of covering the racks? Do i need to buy like the covers for fruit leathers?
It is a type of plastic. The fruit roll sheets are perfect because you need that little lip they have.
Is your dehydrator on low or high temp? How many eggs per tray did u do?
This one doesn't have a temp gauge, just on off. I have to watch much more carefully. My Nesco has temp regulation. I dry on the middle temp of 145 degrees. I dry as many as will fit on the tray.
Another RUclipsr said if you use a temp too high it cooks the eggs. The powder can't be used in baking if it is already cooked.
The temperature should be about 140 degrees.
Try a pastry hand cutter for cooked eggs
I use it all the time when I make boiled eggs for salad
I am working on getting one. Thank you for the tip ❤️
Amazing
Did you blend , the "shells" for the girls ?
i ask because my father felt his chickens need calcium but , he gave them "
badly ground" and his chickens some time later start eating their eggs , thank you very much , and sorry for my English.
PS: some times he gave them snails "shells" for restore calcium witch seem to work well to thank you very much ...
I crush the shells into very small pieces so the chickens do not realize what they are. They are then mixed with the food.
@@LifePrepared Thank you very much
Where did you purchase your dehydrater?
Amazon
How old is your dehydrator? I have one that looks like yours and I know I’ve had mine for at least 25 years!!!!! It’s by Mr. Coffee…..
Probably the same. I picked it up at a yard sale. I also have a Nesco now
When cooking the eggs to dehydrate can you add water or spices or should they just be plain jane?
I would not add water because you are trying to get rid of it. You could flavor them if you like but I prefer plain because it leaves options open and I mostly use the eggs for baking.
@@LifePrepared oh. duh. Thx. I'll just do them plain too and add spice after rehydrating.
❤️
Do you have any videos showing how you reconstitute & use them?
I use them primarily for baking. 1 tablespoon powder plus 2 tablespoons water equals 1 egg.
Can use egg shells for a powder to put in smoothies and use for plants-I do not like to give back to chickens as I have had issues with "egg breaking" chickens because they like the shell
I understand that. Luckily I don't have that problem.
lucky you!@@LifePrepared
how do you rehydrate them.. be nice if it was mentioned
Sorry it wasn't mentioned. I prefer to use them in baked or cooked foods. 1 tablespoon egg to 2 tablespoon of water is one egg.
What temperature to dry at please?
I set mine at 125.
Can you say what temp and how long this takes. I understand turning it every thirty minutes. I have a used dehydrator. Thank you.
Mine only has a yogurt, medium and jerky setting. I use the medium.
What type dehydrator do you have??
I have a newer one that has adjustable temperature now that works better called a Nesco. The one I used here doesn't have a fan and only a bottom heater.
if you walk away try turning the temp down just to be safe?
This one doesn't have temperature control but my newer one does.
Can you make egg white powered?
I haven't tried it but it should work fine. The yolks have a lot of fat which can cause issues in drying that the whites should not. If you try, please let me know how it goes.
I have some questions. When you dehydrate your raw eggs, do they feel oily? I first tried in my dehydrator in a silicone cake pan. At 30 hours they still did not seem dry and I gave up. A failure. Next I tried putting them on my best cookie sheet in the oven and at 10 hours they seemed dry and smelled burnt. It took me HOURS to try to remove them from the cookie sheet. Yuck! Another failure. Your trick of Stirring the eggs during drying was mew to me and I plan to give it another try.
The other questions are, when you scramble your eggs first, do you salt. pepper and butter them during the scrambling? And, how do you rehydrate and heat them up for a scrambled egg meal?
I have six young hens that are laying like crazy. I've learned how to pickle, ferment, freeze and water glass, but have been most interested in making eggs powder to bake with in the winter.
Thank you for such an informative video! How did your over cooked powder work in baking?
I do not add anything to the eggs before dehydrating. The pre cooked eggs, I find it necessary to add very warm water and let sit about 10 minutes. I much prefer to use the eggs in either method for baking or in casseroles because they taste "fake" to me once reconstituted. The over cooked ones were used in baking with no noticable difference. For breakfast scrambled eggs, I prefer to freeze them.
Stirring frequently works best to prevent sticking. I also picked up a new paint scraper that helps if they stick because the blade is thin and flexible. HTH.
@@LifePrepared Thank you so much! I'm going to give it a try again!
Can you adjust the temperature on your dehydrator? I use the lowest setting like for yogurt.
@@LifePrepared When I tried the dehydrator it was set at only 140 degrees and took 30 hours. After your warning of salmonella I can increase the temp for sure. I think increasing the temp, Stirring the eggs this time and not filling the cake pan as full is worth a try. I sure won't put them in the oven again. The lowest temp I have on it is 170 degrees. The smell of burned eggs is sort of like burning hair! Funny you mentioned a paint scraper because that is what I had to use on my cookie sheet to get those eggs off! What a time consuming mess! I haven't made cookies since I had the baked on eggs. Cookies may never be the same on that sheet again! :(
Oh yes, a thin layer is going to work faster and better.
Can you show how to do the separated eggs
Sorry not sure what you are asking. I showed both methods.
When you remake them to eat…..Are they grainy?
The pre cooked ones tend to be. I mostly use them in other things not just scrambled.
mine didn't powder very well. their kinda bb size... What did I do wrong
Was it pre cooked or raw? A spice or coffee grinder will make the best powder. Raw powders easier also.
@@LifePrepared Thank you pre cooked
What brand of dehydrator do you use in this video?
This is an older model by Mr. Coffee. I prefer to use the newer one by Nesco now which has a heat control.
Does Bosch make a dehydrator and if so have any experience with one or had review with one. I think I used a Bosch many years ago.
Honestly I have no idea if they do. If I had the money, I would get the 9 tray Excalibur. The Nesco heats from the top down so I rotate trays a few times while processing. The Excalibur heats from the back and blows through each tray.
I would never cook my eggs in the microwave, that destroys them. But i will cook mine in the pan. 💃
There are quite a few ways to cook them. We can all enjoy no matter how they are cooked
@@LifePrepared I do appreciate your tips!😊
Any time 🥰
What 6 raw 6 scrambled un this test?
Yes
None of the videos I have watched tell me how much powder and water to use per egg.
I apologize. I use 1 tablespoon egg to 2 to 3 tablespoons water. I start with 2 and add 1 more if the egg is too thick. HTH.
Or you could weigh eggs before you dehydrate and then after, and that’s the difference is the volume/mass of water (assuming a density of 1.00 g/mL) needed to rehydrate.
Do the eggs SMELL when dehydrating?
If you do a large amount, it smells like cooked eggs.
How do I know what size oxygen absorbers to buy?
I use a 50cc size per quart. Hth.
The brown edges are ok
A thought: when scraping your eggs, have you thought about using a plastic paint scraper instead of a spoon? it seems like that may make things a bit easier. Loved your video 👍
Thanks for the great idea.
How I parched this machine
Here is the link to the one I have. Unfortunately the price has gone up but they frequently go on sale. Thanks for watching.

I’m dehydrating eggs, (raw form) since yesterday evening. They are oily... What did I do wrong?
Did you add anything too them? How thick were they on the tray?
@@LifePrepared I have the regular sized trays with 4 eggs each. Maybe that’s it?
That should be fine. Just stir and continue to dry them.
@@LifePrepared thanks, it’s way passed that. I just tossed them and started a dozen eggs. The longer they were in there, the oilier they got. I spread these thinner and I’ll keep stirring and checking. Thanks for the quick reply!
I never had them get oily so not sure. I don't add anything when I scramble them.
Jelly roll trays for eggs.
Fantastic idea!
If you blend the eggs long enough it incorporates air into egg , drys egg evenly and no stirring !!
Thanks for letting me know!
I have a question i dehydrated scrambled eggs and then ground them into powder. But tryed rehydrating with 1 TBls powder and 2 water left a few minutes then whisked it. But what i got when fried looked nothing like scrambled eggs. Any suggestions
I would try with a little less water. I mostly use mine to replace an egg in baking or in a recipe.
@@LifePrepared thank you
Also let the eggs sit for 10 minutes before trying to fry them to make sure they are fully hydrated.
I wonder if you could add the cooked powdered egg to a smoothies? I chopped up some boiled eggs and dried them, but I have not tasted one yet. Not as hesitant now that I watched your video. Thank you.😊
Other people dry raw eggs without stirring. Is there a reason you dont ?
Try to get them not to stick so much.
I was doing the raw then a friend said do them scrambled, I did 52 doz scrambled then I saw Emmymade she did both then reconstituted each. The scrambled were absolutely horrible grainy bits barely tasted like eggs. Looked like farina when cooked. Do I guess I have lots of dog food
If you pulverize in a blender, you can use them in baking. I T egg + 2 T water per egg. I much prefer the raw but it is more difficult when putting on the trays.

138 f to pasteurization per usda
Thank you
Do you put an oxygen absorber in the jar? Judi
If for long term storage I do.
@@LifePrepared Thank you. I also thought that would be best. Judi
I always figure it can't hurt anyway.
A fork? Spatulas work great.
It was close at hand at that moment ☺️
I haven’t been successful with cooked eggs. The raw eggs work better for me.
Thanks for letting me know how it works for you.
Did not catch the total time it took to dehydrate those trays of eggs.
It will vary by how many you put on each tray and the dehydrator. Once you see the edges getting dry, you have a few hours to go. Dry them, let them cool then feel. If you think they are dry, blend. If there are any large pieces, dry another hour. HTH.
I dehydrated scrambled eggs. That worked fine. But, they wouldn't rehydrate. Test your work.
I was able to rehydrate them with very hot water but much prefer the uncooked.
Why not beat them scrambled eggs😊 with a blender
At the time I didn't have one but it is a good idea.
Oh, the shelf life would be a year? less? or more than a year?? Judi
I have used them up to 3 years with no noticable difference.
@@LifePrepared GREAT!! Thank you so much. Will start doing that soon. Thank you. Judi
wanted to see this, but man they are noisy .
sorry, another app started running in the background, I thought you had a crowd there, very good video. thx
Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Don't scramble and dehydrate. They are no good for baking or using in pancakes or for french toast when rehydrated. And they taste and feel bad in the mouth when rehydrated and recooked as scrambled. I wasted time and eggs using the scramble and dehydrate method. I won't do this again.
Thanks for letting us know.
You cannot overdry
You cannot over dehydrate them think about it you want the moisture gone
But they will turn brown and the taste changes if over done.
You’re not cooking them you are Dehydrating them
