    A tip to share (I dehydrate a lot): Leave the freshly dried herbs out for at least 10 minutes to cool *completely* before grinding. Josh didn't mention it. The leftover heat can make the herbs retain moisture. You want to avoid that.

      I use my oven for yearsand marked on the knob my 90°F for yogurt, and 135°F for dehydrating, after I've measured the temp. With my cheap laser thermometer. And it works like a charm! The only issue I have sometimes is when I have to bake and dehydrating takes hours, so I have to plan which comes first.

    Usually, I smoke half my peppers until leathery but not quite dry, then I finish in my dehydrator until it's cracking dry. The mushrooms alre usually just smoked until they've just started to lose their moisture, and then dried to a crisp.

  • @prody666
    @prody666 4 роки тому +6

    For all the herbs, even chilli, you don't need any dehydrator. In summer, you put them in a paper bag (it allows water to evaporate and keeps dust out), in the warmest room or spot (it can be near a window) and wait. Check from time to time to see if it's all dried. In winter, you put the paper bag on the radiator. You don't need to buy that kind of stuff if you don't have a company and intend to produce tons of rosemary or dill.

    The dried mushroom reminded me: I saw another video where the lady made an all purpose powdered cream soup base. She then added her dehydrated mushrooms, celery, onion, chicken/beef bits to the base for a “cream of whatever” soup. I’m doing lots of peppers the coming summer. (Sugar rush peach hot peppers are awesome)

    I was totally expecting this to cost a good grand or more because it looms so great and functions so well. But at just shy of 400 it's well worth it. Being able to fold and store is the biggest bonus. Now to save money.

    I've always used an oven for dehydrating [which is most certainly a valid option to make jerky or spice powder] since I simply do not have the space in my kitchen to place a dehydrator anywhere but I also have never considered the idea that foldable ones exist. Gonna check that out.

    This is probably one of the best videos I’ve watched “even though it came up randomly”, in the last week. I planted a huge variety of chilies, and I was afraid it wouldn’t yield enough, so I went overboard and planted 25 plants. Then disaster struck, in the form of good news... ALL the plants grew, and yielded so much that I ended up advertising on FB marketplace “in my neighborhood” for people to just come by and pick as much as they need. I made hot sauce and pickled chilies to try and preserve them, but they just kept growing and I producing even MORE. So now I know I can make my own chili powder. And probably give that and the tons of hot sauces away too. For a family of four, ONE plant is enough... take it from me, I know😅

    You can take fresh zest from oranges and lemons and make a delicious spice. You wash the peel, grate it of, put it in a jar and add one or two spoons of sugar. You do this every time you have these citruses around and store it in a closed jar in your fridge. You can keep it like that for months. The zest will enhance its taste the longer you keep it. Do not mix it from the beggining, just let it sit do its thing.
    We, romanians, usually use this mix for traditional Christmas cakes. I actually love to eat it plainly with a spoon.
    You should try it, you'll love it.

      It's not all that crazy, especially if it's to reduce waste by using things like onion skins, and root. Plus there are just a lot of dried spices that you can't really get unless you dry and process them yourself, best example being serrano powder can't really get that at your average grocery store. And after doing my own parsley I'm a little angry how much they charge for dried parsley at the supermarket.

    For those who obsess about the quality of their homemade spices, here's a couple of tips:
    1. Once you've dried and ground your product, pass it through a fine-meshed sieve
    2. To avoid clumping, re-dehydrate your powder (you'll need a special sheet to do this - and don't open your dehydrator door before you turn it off)
    3. If you are producing a large amount of your product, save some of the dehydrate product in a vacuum-sealed container. Grind it when you run out of your "first grind":
