I weigh my trays when I put them in the freeze dryer and when I get them out. That gives me the water content that was taken off in grams. Then I divide that by how many portions and gives you a good idea of how much to add. I write that on the bag! Great video Kevin and Sarah!
I found it was hard to keep my meal hot from the time it starts to reconstitute until it’s ready to eat. I made a “tea cozy” type envelope from quilted fabric to hold in the heat. Works great!
When I got my freeze dryer I took a lot of my canned foods and put it through the freeze dryer, especially soups, saves canned food pantry space. Easy to use. Preserves foods that are reaching expiration dates.
I bought a lot of canned goods a couple of years ago on a big sale, but never used it all so I spent a week or so recently FDing all survivors. Canned soups, canned vegetables, and canned beans all got processed.
I had this idea the other day because my youngest is planning on going into the Air Force. I came across a freeze dryer add & thought; if I had one of those, i'd freeze dry our thanksgiving dinner & send it over to him where ever he's at. It won't be thanksgiving day, but it's the same meal we all shared that day. Hey, & binging home leftovers is one of the best parts, to me any way! Even better, if he's out in active duty, however that works, i'd send enough for the squadron! What a little bit of comfort & the smile you'd be giving them hopefully would do to boost moral. 😌 Doubt i'll have one when the time comes, but i'll be looking for someone who does! Just passing it along. Hope you're having a great weekend!😃✌
Freeze drying the food gives so many options. As y'all stated, you can put up years' worth of food and not worry about a freezer going bad and losing everything or power outages. A small alcohol stove can heat up your water, and like Kevin in a blind, alcohol burning doesn't smell. Great tips. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on your homestead.
I bought my freeze dryer 2 years ago through your affiliate link. Both my wife and I are nurses. Our lunches are mainly freeze dried left overs every day. We pack boiling water in thermos and off we go. You can put your hot water in your mylar bags and have lunch. We also freeze dry our fresh milk!
I freeze dried some chili and some pinto beans a few weeks ago. I am preparing for the recovery period following major surgery. This way my husband and adult son have quick home cooked meals. I’ve got shredded beef, pork and chicken they can rehydrate and make bbq sandwiches. My son has a milk allergy so we make meals at home.
You can do like Mountain House's freeze-dried meals are packaged up... just open up the mylar bag, add your hot water, and close it up again, allowing the water to rehydrate the food. There's your eating container... a spoon is all you need, then. Less containers to tote about, and one bag to bring home for the trash can.
I freeze dry my smoked pulled pork, very lean. Has a jerky feel if eaten dry, rehydrates extremely well. Does so well I always max out the smoker with butts so we will have leftover pork to dry.
A channel called Keeping it Dutch did this to take meals to deer camp with a bunch of friends. He did the eggs, maybe for breakfast burritos I think, chilli and Enchaldas. Everyone that tried it seemed to really like it. I've heard other people do it for hiking meals. And my cousin freeze dries meals for her grandkids to take to school for lunches. Her daughter doesn't like the meals that the school gives the kids but she doesn't want to send sandwiches with them every day either. She said her daughter either cooks the food herself or brings the stuff to my friend to cook and then freeze dry. The kids really like it and don't get bored with their lunches. She said the grandkids have friends trying to trade lunches with them all the time. They like it because they can do the freeze drying during the summer and get ahead of the game. Plus they make extra when cooking anyway. I thought it was a great idea. Her abd her husband do this for them to take to work also.
I'm so glad I persuaded my husband to get a freeze dryer - I made him watch all your videos on it. Luckily we ordered in time because it still took months to ship to us. Once we got it we have used it so much. We were worried we might wear it out as it arrived in August 2021! I've even made nettle tea and the nettle flower heads are powdered for use. The soups are great - my mum liked her butternut squash cuppa soup!
We did an upgrade on the drying rack and they sent us the wrong rack. It fried all the electronics in our freeze dryer! Harvest Right sent me all new electronics along with the right rack and had me up and going within a week. Our Freeze dryer is almost 5 years old and never had a single problem with it until their oops!😂
Hoping to get a Harvest Right freeze dryer in 2025. Been saving for it for a while. Love when you guys are in the kitchen together. Reminds me of us before I lost my husband in 2020. We worked together really well like you two! Thank you for your hard work in instructing us on your homestead life. Take Care & God Bless
Thanks - have a call in to HR to see how much an upgrade is and if my older model will accommodate it - hopefully - we did do a software upgrade about 4 to 5 years ago - I'd like to do that again also - we shall see what HR says based on the serial number
I would love a video on where you store everything for canning, freeze drying, and the food you store. etc… I don’t know how you guys fit everything in a relatively small home. You have appliances and equipment but where do you keep them?!!!
I made up some freeze-dried meals for hunting this year, had boiling water in a thermos, and ate a great meal while sitting in the middle of nowhere, on a hill in New Mexico.
I'm giggling to myself... Sara was trying to keep Kevin's stomach from growling so he would be quiet for the deer.... the eggs my keep him quiet, but the chili is gonna make a little noise and it won't be his stomach...😂
Praying at some point that I get blessed with a freezer dryer. If God wants me to have it then it will happen. Have had a very hard year and the savings is gone. Pray people for this country. God's blessing to you and yours
I have been freezing raw eggs because I get close to 100 in about three days so I'm freeze-drying constantly. I never thought of freeze-drying scrambled eggs. I normally reconstitue the raw eggs and then cooked them.
Try growing pinto and kidney beans... just plant 'em and then let them go to seed, dry pods well, then shell and harvest. Store well and last long time in storage and better than store purchased dry or canned beans when cooked up.
I have heard that if you add things like pepper, cheese, onions to the scrambled eggs, they turn out better. I've freeze dried Raw eggs and they cook up perfectly!
I would think you could also just do the sausage patty freeze dried and reconstituted since it would really be a strong smell cooking in the field. However, if your want you eggs scrambled fresh just get a tiny camping burner and small pan and cook the eggs fresh. I’m so picky about my eggs but you could have them in a jar with cheese and a pat of butter and be good to cook quickly inside the blind with the windows closed. I doubt that would smell up the area much. Just a thought to try. Love you guys! I’m in Springfield Mo and I’ve learned so much from y’all. It helps you are in my same area because whatever you do works for me too! God bless!! 😊
😂😂😂😂 that was a funny story about the deer, going out deer hunting!! 😁 We’ve seen three separate occasions of dear walking down the road or the sidewalk! Two days ago we just had another !! And these are full grown deer. It was a buck following a dough the second time and this time then I couldn’t tell if it was a dough or a book because it was still slightly dark out, but it was a big full-grown deer just down the neighborhood in the sidewalk across peoples lawn, jaywalking😅 😍 looks yummy, thank you for the video♥️
I got a HarvestRight this summer when they had a sale going. I love it! I plan to start freeze drying a variety of things now that the garden is about done. 😊
Carolyn Thomas from Homesteading Family in Idaho just came out with her new book now on Amazon “Freeze-Drying the Harvest: Preserving Food the Modern Way”. I have recommended our library to carry it.
Freshly freeze dried food almost always tastes great! I’ve been taste testing freeze dried foods I stored in 2022. I’m finding that about half of it tastes inedible. The reasons for this are: using too large of a Mylar bag and not enough oxygen absorbers, some early batches I didn’t rinse the cooked meat before adding to the recipes. The good half had these corrections. Our animals LOVE the “inedible” foods! Live and learn!
Dreaming of a freeze dryer, perhaps next year. Little labor & quick. Shelf life is incomparable. Will lower stress of harvest season, and mitigate having to preserve everything by canning.
One thing we can't seem to rehydrate from the freeze dryer is celery! We rehydrated the celery then added it to a slow cooked stew. The flavor was still there but it was rubbery. Not sure if we did something wrong.
Already worn out one freeze dryer and that took a little over 10 years. Just bought our second freeze dryer yesterday from Rural King on sale. They have had them in the store for a couple of months but no one is buying them. We were their first sale, but we are familiar with freeze dryers and understood what we were buying. My hubby may pick up a part time temporary gig training their employees about freeze dryers so they can explain and sell more. I told him if he does it, do it for store credit. We are both on social security and don't want to show an increase in dollars coming in. However, store credit we can use and it would be good for stuff we already are buying at Rural King on a regular basis.
My husband always makes our chili and he doesn’t like beans so he doesn’t put any in there! I open a can of ranch beans and throw some in my bowl because I don’t like chili without beans. 😂
If you buy that in the camping section at Walmart they are expensive....There is some places selling freeze dryer candy's that cost 10.00 dollars that's expensive to 😊 like gummy worms and gummy bears.....
🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ Hey Kevin and Sarah, I have heard, and want your opinion on upgrading a medium to large HR from 4 trays to 5. I have heard from some that you give up height space. Like with freeze drying meatballs and other things that are higher in height. Have you experienced any issue like this?? Thank you in advance 🤗❤️ From a Sara, without an H 😃 Edited to say, thank you for putting the large funnel in your Amazon Shop!!!
I would love to have a freeze dryer. Our boys are grown, so we are empty nesters, but I still cook way too much food for just the two of us, lol. My husband also goes deer hunting, Kevin. I would love to see a video of how you process your deer 😊 Thank you so much for your videos! God bless ❤
Love watching & learning from your videos! There's quite a few off-grid channels that I have unsubscribed from because they seem to find a conspiracy around every corner. Many thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge!!!
Are the bags reusable? Do they come in different sizes? I have issues with one use storage items and would just hate to see all these bags in a landfill after one use.
In Wisconsin, did harvest a doe this morning within the first five minutes of going out. Fastest I have ever filled a tag, of course the rest took me longer, had 40 acres to drag it. Good Luck Kevin
My dad and cousin were heading out deer hunting on my cousins land. My cousin got stopped by a friend to talk in the driveway, my dad kept heading to his stand. My cousin heard a shot ring out and told his friend, "well, I got to get the 4 wheeler and go help Stanley' with his deer" lol
I was out hunting last weekend, (gun season opened last Saturday), I kicked up two Saturday afternoon before I even had my gun. Never saw anything the rest of the day or Sunday and Monday. Had to get back to my mom's place to help her. Good luck on your hunting.
I can’t wait to get my own freeze dry, I am so use to cooking for a big family now that there is only two of us we have a lot of leftovers. Sarah I love your gray hair I started letting mine go gray also❤
Don't knock it ... a short day ... my uncle got his buck while walking across the porch ... my daughter woke her husband when she got an 8 point from the bedroom window.
I have a freeze dryer as well, and I have freeze dried both scrambled and raw eggs. I wonder if the scrambled eggs were cooked a little less than normal, if they would keep the texture that is preferred? I am sure they will be a blessing when they are finally eaten, no matter the texture.
I LOVE the idea of being able to freeze-dry foods. Gettin' older & hands object to heavy use now. But if I could do meals all at once, then freeze-dry them and use them as needed--it would give my weary hands a rest. But given the price of freeze-dryers, it must remain just an "idea" for me! SSA Retirement only=
After all these years,... you 2 are STILL soooo cute together! Thank you for taking the time to share. Good info! Be well, God bless.
Y’all really are the cutest couple! ❤

Check out the other freeze dry companies. I bought the cube and there is a blue one and another I can't remember the name of.
I'm sorry for your loss, God Bless.
I got access to lots of celery, pineapple and pears so my freeze dryer will be humming for awhile 😊
Thanks - have a call in to HR to see how much an upgrade is and if my older model will accommodate it - hopefully - we did do a software upgrade about 4 to 5 years ago - I'd like to do that again also - we shall see what HR says based on the serial number

Invest in some tray dividers! It makes doing individual meals so much easier!
I got a HarvestRight this summer when they had a sale going. I love it! I plan to start freeze drying a variety of things now that the garden is about done. 😊
Always Interesting. Thanks
Love my Harvest Right
LOL🤣 Kevin's reaction in dropping the egg shells was priceless & then he does the sshh don't let my wife know 🤣
For freeze drying scrambled eggs, under cook them. Rehydrate them with warm not boiling water. Otherwise they overcook and get tough.
We are processing winter radishes and turnips today. Hope to freeze dry some pickled ones into chips.

I bet your kitchen smells wonderful right now!! Smellovision?!
I laughed when Kevin dropped the shell into the mixer and Said shhhh. Don't tell on me! Sorry I ratted you out. Kevin 😂
Teach us how to hunt. That'd be a cool homestead video
Very nice video
Dreaming of a freeze dryer, perhaps next year. Little labor & quick. Shelf life is incomparable. Will lower stress of harvest season, and mitigate having to preserve everything by canning.
It is so freeing! I hope you get it soon!!! ❤
@@SasssyPie Thank you Sasssy! I hope so too! 😊
Would love to get a freeze dryer. :)
One thing we can't seem to rehydrate from the freeze dryer is celery! We rehydrated the celery then added it to a slow cooked stew. The flavor was still there but it was rubbery. Not sure if we did something wrong.
Chop it up very small before freeze drying.
I wish I had the space and electrical wherewithal to get a freezer dryer
👍great video
So then an oven with a air fryer setting is basically a convection oven?❤
Everything looks so fresh. Thanks for the taste test!
Love You Guys. God is Good. Love all your Videos from Waddles Ville to cooking, and preserving.

BUGGIN OUT 👍

Sarah and Kevin, do you put the hot it boiling water directly into the bags? I can't find anywhere if that is safe, healthy, recommended....
Love my Harvest Right! Thanks for sharing your freeze drying of the chili...husband LOVES my chili so I am loading the FD today with it!! God Bless!
Kevin, I'm Tellin! LOL🤫🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like a cold weather picnic.
lol. We’ll never tell her!!!
Are the bags reusable? Do they come in different sizes? I have issues with one use storage items and would just hate to see all these bags in a landfill after one use.

Air Fryer is a fancy name for the convection oven setting.
👍
I love freeze drying leftovers, and caramels.
Love the air fryer basket idea! I have to get one now. 😊 Freeze dried spaghetti also tastes the same when rehydrated. Delicious.
I do my scrambled eggs in the microwave when I don't want to use any fat.
❤❤Kevin and Sarah day!!! These are my favorite days.
My dad and cousin were heading out deer hunting on my cousins land. My cousin got stopped by a friend to talk in the driveway, my dad kept heading to his stand. My cousin heard a shot ring out and told his friend, "well, I got to get the 4 wheeler and go help Stanley' with his deer" lol

Plus Hunting, Livestock, gardening and all the rest of videos. All are awesome.
Any idea if your mylar bags are capable of reconstituting the food like a retort pouch?
Don't knock it ... a short day ... my uncle got his buck while walking across the porch ... my daughter woke her husband when she got an 8 point from the bedroom window.
Fantastic job with the Freeze Drying. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and get you tags filled this season. Fred.
I would break the eggs in a bowl then put them in the blender separately
Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a freeze dryer as well, and I have freeze dried both scrambled and raw eggs. I wonder if the scrambled eggs were cooked a little less than normal, if they would keep the texture that is preferred? I am sure they will be a blessing when they are finally eaten, no matter the texture.
Please record your deer hunt too!
I wonder if you would freeze dry bread rolls and reconstitute them with steam. That would be a fun experiment!
OMG...that is genius idea. It should work. Even dipping it in chili would restore it quick, I think
👍💕🙏❤

Sounds like and awesome way to Preserve your food thanks for sharing that
I would be more curious to see food that you freeze dried over a year ago, this food is still 'fresh'.
May I ask why you use a ready made seasoning pack for your patties instead of mixing your own?
Wondering the same as I season myself. ❤️🙏
❤❤❤😂😂😂 so, when did you notice you had egg on your mustache?
I have tried the eggs one, didn't care for it. Now chili mac in the morning is good and hardy!
Good information. 😊
I cant afford a freeze dryer.
Is the air fry setting the same as convection?
Yes.. convection is the same as air frying. Air frying became popular when they made appliances smaller for faster cooking of smaller portions
My oven has a setting for air frying and another for convection bake ~ so they must have a difference but I’m new to all of it.
Cool!
thx
Good idea. Going to see about the Amazon pans my oven has the air fryer setting.
