This seems like a connection of minds. I really enjoy the content on your channel. Today I harvested nearly 1.3 kg of Limon, Habanero, 7 Pot and Bhut Jolokia and the whole house smells from the kitchen, cause they're dehydrating right now. Just then I saw your new video. Perfect timing! Keep in with your work, I really like it! Best regards from Cologne, Germany! 🙏
i am a big user of my multiple dehydrators. its not only health conscientious, by knowing what goes in your food, but its fun to make your own seasoning mixtures. i even used the discard from my Ball Harvest Pro when making sauce from tomatoes and tomatillos (my fave) that i first rubbed with olive oil and roasted in the oven. It'll knock your socks off. I suggest everyone should try!
I make a homemade pepper blend I call Devil Dust. I 1st smoke my peppers and garlic before dehydrating. I use Scorpions, reapers, habaneros, ghost, jalapeños, and garlic, my back flavor I use a sweet onion and herb and a bourbon and brown sugar. When it's made right a ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon will heat up a large pot of chili. Going to check your cook book out. Great video,
I have a jar of homemade pepper flakes from a string of cayenne peppers that hung in my kitchen for a year, mixed with this year's Yellow Hungarian hot peppers I dried in the dehydrator. The taste is amazing. The Hungarian peppers added a wonderful fruitiness and cut the cayenne heat back a tad. I won't be using store bought pepper flakes ever again.
I dont know how I missed this video.... my notifications are on lol. Anyway, thanks for this video. Ive been curious about drying out my fresh peppers.
Great timing! This weekend I will be clearing out the garden peppers: poblano, red thai, hot banana. Also going to do a tray of dill pickle slices to make pickle dust. Will all be done in the garage since I'm not allowed to dehydrate peppers in the house...
HELP! I have a big batch of assorted super hot peppers that I dehydrated and put into a big jar so I can make a powder at the end of the summer... So some of these peppers have been sitting and waiting for multiple months. I was just now putting them into a blender when I noticed they aren't actually FULLY dehydrated. They are pliable, and a little moist on the inside. They look and smell fine, but I am worried. Should I scrap these if they haven't been FULLY dehydrated to a crisp? Or do you think they are still good after MONTHS?
Some day I hope to finally get a good dryer. Unt6then i find a really easy way to dry my peppers is to string them up. Tie a loop at the top end of the string and attach to the light under a ceiling fan. That's it. No need to prep the peppers except stringing them up( they make for great storage AND look great) FYI I'm still thinking about how to make salmon chili, i have a few ideas. I just need to get out and catch some fresh salmon. Have a great day 🌤 🌶🐟🎣
It's great that you can do that. Humidity is the enemy of air drying. The fan helps, I'm sure. If anyone else tries this, watch for rotting/spoilage, which can happen in the open air if there is moisture or not enough warmth. Cheers! Thanks for sharing, Victor.
@ChiliPepperMadness thank you for responding. I was concerned because after I did this I was reading that peppers that are dehydrated still have a lot of moisture in them and when you page them in a no oxygen environment they can produce botulism spores. It was not a reliable source but I was unable to find that information to verify it or not. Thanks!
Great question, actually. It's really best to grow from the freshest seeds possible. You might be able to get dehydrated seeds to grow, but there's more a chance the seeds become damaged, so fresh is best.
I should have watched this video before cutting up a Carolina Reaper with my bare hands. Even after washing my hands, I still got burned when I rubbed my eye.
"Drying" has to be included in the title because "Dehydrate" is too big of a word for so many people to understand. But I love peppers - dried or dehydrated.

That's a nice variety, and thanks for the kind words!
My yard gets about two hours of cold sun a day. I am so jealous of those that can grow peppers. Fun video!
@@mykneeshurt8393 they can also grow in pots in the house/apartment

Glad I could help!
putting a slit into the peppers is key for me. makes drying them so much faster and easier.
Great video! Thanks because I just bought a dehydrator for my Super Hots.Great info to a newbie like me 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!

Always great to be on time!
I've done cayennes in the oven. Low as it goes with the door open a hair. Turned out real well. Dehydrator probably much easier though.
Your chili dehydrator book is awesome. I got it a while back.
I appreciate the support. Enjoy it!

You are welcome!
Awesome information! Thanks for sharing

Would love to see a recipe on peppered or spicy beef / chicken jerky!
Hopefully soon! I have a lot of jerky recipes in my Spicy Dehydrator Cookbook: amzn.to/40Mja2j
Perfect timing. Thank you!
You're so welcome!

Fun video!
Thanks!
Would love to know where you get your seeds from?
I have a resources page on my site: www.chilipeppermadness.com/resources/
@@ChiliPepperMadness Thank you so much
Can you make a recipe on how to do gochujang ?
I'll have to add that to my list!
Nice!
Can dried peppers be stored in vacuumed jars?
Yes, this method is great for extending their shelf life.

Key is to make sure there is no moisture left, or you can get spoilage.
Stupid question from a first time pepper grower: Are the seeds still viable when you dehydrate your peppers in a dehydrator?
Great question, actually. It's really best to grow from the freshest seeds possible. You might be able to get dehydrated seeds to grow, but there's more a chance the seeds become damaged, so fresh is best.
'tis the season for drying peppers
Have fun!

I don't know if needs to be there or not for people searching. I wish I knew how UA-cam worked, LOL.
