NOTE: For those who may have missed it, at 18:42 in the video I covered the ratio of egg powder and water to equal one egg in a recipe which is 1 Tablespoon powder to 1.5 Tablespoons water
Can you dry eggs in an oven?
@@MarlenevT You can but because you may not be able to keep the heat low enough, it is possible they will not be raw in the end
Thanks Heidi, I may try a small batch and see what happens. I have 6 dozen eggs I need to do something with.@@RainCountryHomestead
Help! I read somewhere else to do at 165° to prevent bacteria in my 9 tray Beginner Excalibur. After 20 hours top 4 trays still have some dark center. All is super oily. It's 11 dz eggs. Do I have to just throw them out? Worst case I can freeze and make as dog food supplement I guess @raincountryhomestead
My dehydrater doesn't have trays. Can I do this in the oven somehow?
You can use a old sock and cut the sock in two to cover the jar and to prevent light exposure while you’re storing it
Yep, that is one of many ways.
After powdering I put the powder back on the trays with parchment laying over and dehydrate a couple hours more.
Out of curiosity what does this do? Just removing as much moisture as possible?
@@outrageousacresyes, any sneaky moisture that's left over *and* heat can build up when blending
Great idea for safety
Once you turn your eggs into powder how much longer do you dehydrate for???
Q. You just fit parchment over the powder on the trays? This limits the powder from flying about or dusting the unit? (I am new to dehydrating eggs. Going to do my first batch tomorrow. 115 degrees, 12-14 hrs, break it up and turn over at 10 hrs. Now… blend it and return it another 2 hrs with parchment overhead for least moisture possible?
Does anyone know if these store well in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers?
Instead of giving eggs away I'm going to start to dehydrate them. You're awesome , thank you !!
Heidi,
If my husband was still alive, he would love your your channel. He was a prepper since the Y-2K craze started. One thing that he prepared us for and no one say it would happened, was Katrina. He kept telling everyone that Katrina was going to be devastating and people better prepare, even way up were we live, Laurel, Mississippi. Two weeks as it was just started churning out in the ocean. My husband bought a huge gas operated generator on a trailer with multiple outlets. We got several 55 gallons drums and filled with gas and diesel. Got out chain saws serviced and sharpened. All vehicles and tractors and four wheelers and lawn mower filled with gas and all gas jugs. All gas and diesel containers. Purchased water and non perishable foods and bread. Filled up propane gas tanks at our house and in-laws. I filled up empty soda bottles and put in freezer so I could have frozen bottles to use for pain relief in case I injuries and I had hurt my back in a car accident back then.
I always kept my bleach jugs and filled them with water for times like this. To use if the toilet. My mother in law started doing it also. We stayed at my in-laws. My son was young. I was a home health nurse. It was awful damage from the hurricane. Over 200 miles north from the coast where Katrina hit. The damage was horrible in our community as well. It was never mentioned on the news. Lives were lost also. Lucky, we were ok, and no trees down on our house or the in-laws, we prayed during the whole ordeal that night. It was so scary. The raid we lived on. Trees were down cris cross from one another. My husband and brother in-law, and neighbors got their chainsaws out and tractors and started cutting trees up and clearing the road. The cleared that county road all the way to the state highway. He said when he got to the end he looked both ways and it wasn’t not but a sea of trees lying on top of each other.
My mother in law and I on the gas stove cooked a hug lunch, we let out freezer at our house thaw layer by layer. What ever was thawed that was our meal. The two weeks we were out of power. We ate better and fed all the families on the road we lived on and help the personal care home with their patients. I went and checked on on my home health patients when a path was cut so I could. I had the drive my little suv under trees that were laying on top of each other and drive over power lines.
Wow, that is an amazing story. This is why we should all prepare! He sounds like he was a special person, and you, too!
@@debbiehall3759 my new little family was in Hurricane Camille in 1967.....and we were in upper Illinois. When Camille got done w alabama and Mississippi,
It moved over to Louisiana and "battered" the mouth of the Mississippi for DAYS...
well....it spawned what they called "hurrcanic tornadoes"
We were in Clinton,Illinois and a tornado blew for hours and hours w that horizontal rain u see in hurricanes. Tornadoes happen and then they're gone. Not this one.....
It blew a house off its foundation and into the little river that ran thru the middle of town.....we had 19" of rain in 3 hrs. These folks had never seen anything like it. I'm from Florida....I knew....😬....
The water rose where we were
20+ ft out of the river in about 30 min. We left the hotel with an 8 mo old baby in my arms....AND I was 4-5 mo pregnant and climbed a steep embankment behind the hotel to get to a gym that was on top of the hill...
I'll never forget clawing the ground and grabbing clumps of grass and praying as we scrambled up the steep hill w the rising water close on our heels....
I had put a large black garbage bag over my baby's whole body and hugged her tight up against me. I knew she was able to breathe because she was crying and I could hear her breaths
The water was lapping at the front step of the gym when we got there.
And FINALLY it stopped....
On the OTHER side of the gym was a deep ravine area full of mobile homes...and people were swimming toward us with children in their arms....one man who could not swim had a 1 yr old boy on his shoulders...
And the water was over the Father's head....he would take 2-3 steps and jump straight up to gasp for air.
OMG!!.... a man came up in a John boat w a little motor.
He saw the man too and went straight for him....
Grabbed the baby by his tee shirt and the father grabbed on to the side of the boat🤯
Both arrived safely.....can u say nightmare.........during Katrina, I was in my 50s, I think....i worked around the clock at my hospital in florida so that nurses from OUR hospital could go to help out over in Louisiana.
I knew a LITTLE about they were going into. Camille in Illinois was NOT Katrina in New Orleans and surrounding communities,
But it taught to seriously pray for those girls who went over to N.O.....😢
@@debbiehall3759 thanks
@@braeutchen41 wow! What an ordeal you & others went thru :-(
We who haven't seen these things have no idea ♡
Driving to Oklahoma & Tenn to attend our grandchildren's high school graduations 8 years ago we passed an area that had been hit by a tornado. I just sat there & cried. You can see it on the news but seeing the devastation in person is very moving :-(
Denise … Greetings from Meridian. I think Katrina surprised a lot of people. Even up here above you.
PLEASE NOTE: I covered the amount of egg powder and water to equal one egg at 18:41
I dont understand what you mean by this?
@@markr.1584 fast forward video to 18:41. It is 1 Tbl spoon of egg powder to 1 - 1 1/2 TBL of water
Can you dehydrate milk? 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
Never mind I found your video about milk lol sorry
Have you used the eggs much?
Thanks Heidi, I finally got my silicone trays today for my Crawford dehydrator. I've got 8 trays full of 32 eggs going now. You are an excellent teacher and love how detailed you get with the processes you use. I used my stick blender and do 4 at a time in the container it came with. I do it right in my sink on a rack. I've got the washed eggs on the left side. Bowl for shells, blending cup in the sink on rack and the stick blender resting on the edge with the messy end over the sink. Racks are stacked with trays on the counter and dehydrator fits on the small counter space to the left of my sink so I can easily pour the raw egg on the trays right from where I'm working. Now I'm going to get my brake bleader set up for tomorrow morning. Thanks to one of your subs I know that a pint will hold approximately 18 eggs. God IS good all the time! :)
As a side note on cleaning your blender - I clean my blender with hot water 2/3 full and a couple of drops of dawn dish soap into the blender. Replace the lid and turn the blender on. This cleans the inside of the blender great! Sometimes I have to take a bottle brush after blending but not often.
I do the same thing, works a treat, and when done right away it means there is no issue with dried food stuck under the blades, or other hard to get to places.
Running hot soapy water in a blender to clean it is one of the most wonderful, time saving, knuckle saving tips I've ever been shown!
I wish I could recall who showed me that trick, so I could give 'em credit.
God bless 'em!
Great tip!!! I noticed once dried, they dust is super sticky.
Great tip !
Dang! I learn so much from reading these comments!!
Last year, I watched your video about why you would not be getting a freeze dryer, which convinced me to just get a good dehydrator instead of trying to continue using the cheap one I had. So fast forward - I finally got a good cabinet type dehydrator/air fryer combo and am learning to use it. Thanks for the inspiration, Heidi! Eggs and milk will definitely be on my list once I get those silicone trays.
me too Julie.
What is the name of the machine you got please ?
@@krisyas3136 After doing a bunch of research and reading reviews, I bought a GoWise Mojave air fryer/dehydrator. The best price I found online was Bed Bath and Beyond for about $155 and free shipping. It's made in America. You can override the presets by time and temperature. It has 5 stainless dehydrator mesh trays and comes with air fryer trays, an open basket, rotisserie round basket and skewers. I've been really pleased with it so far.
COSORI is a great machine
Dehydrated my first batch of 2 dozen eggs, and they turned out great! Powdered them up and sealed for storage. Thank you so much!
So thankful for all the information you've offered in this video. With so much rain in our area the past 4 weeks, my eggs have been dirty. I have given 12 dozen away and get about 55 eggs weekly. I'm definitely going to try dehydrating instead of giving them away. I'll also freeze some for baking. Thank you, Heidi. I love your channel. It's packed full of wisdom from experience.
Talk about alignment!! I just told my fiance last night, "Heidi, my go-to homesteading human, dehydrates her eggs. I'll watch another video on how she does it." We have accumulated 50 eggs from our beautiful hens and don't want their hard work going to compost.
Thank you, beautiful soul!!
Wow! I thought the same! My first try had a lot of oil & I worried about it going rancid. Thanks for giving the extra push to go further and test some!
Water glass fresh eggs.
I often pickle excess eggs (hard boiled first, of course). I love them as a snack or in salads. Surprisingly, in spite of being pickled they work fine in most recipes that use hardboiled eggs.
Maybe donate some of the eggs to a local food bank to share with people who need them.
I’m Sooo glad you talked about the dehydrated eggs feeling oily! I started dehydrating my eggs but they were so oily I was afraid I had done something wrong🤣. I will start over and get to dehydrating them as I collect extra. Your video is the best on this subject and believe me I have watched many!!
Logical and reasonable information. It's so nice to hear well thought out information. thankful for individual thought processes. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, I waterglassed my eggs last year. This year I will be dehydrating them. Love all your useful topics.
I had 3 5 gallon buckets full of eggs waterglassing. That works great but takes a lot of space plus I had to keep checking the water level. Trying dehydrating this spring
Thank you for helping us learn 👍
Blessings 🙏
Thank you for this video. I just got a dehydrator. When we moved here to Florida from Maryland, my dehydrator had been put in storage and is still up there. So, I bought a new one. I have to be honest, I have never thought of dehydrating eggs. The only thing that I have dehydrated over the years is fruit and vegetables. After watching this video, I'm on a mission! I can't wait to try it.
You should make jerky - it's amazing. That's actually why we bought our first dehydrator 30 years ago.
I just started dehydrating my first batch. I separated the whites/yolks so that when its done, I can make egg white bread without buying the bag of egg whittte powder. Pretty stoked to see this. Thanks Heidi.
My husband has to eat egg whites. High cholesterol. So, I got four cartons of the egg whites that are colored yellow and dehydrated them. They are perfect!!!! No terrible egg smell.
How neat to see your episode on this! Four days ago I finished dehydrating 108 whole eggs and all that powder fits perfectly in 3 quart-sized canning jars. For me I mix 1 T. of egg powder with a bit less than 2 T. warm water and, voila, eggs that I can use in baking or cooking. The amount of water is to personal preference. It is a game-changer especially since the eggs I bought went up 50% since last week. Even at the higher price it is worth having them on hand with the Avian Flu and losing so many chickens.
Did your chickens actually die from avian flu? I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much. I was wondering how many would approximately fill a pint or quart. So helpful!
Wow 108 eggs! What temp did you dehydrate your eggs at?
@@anitamarshall7528 Dehydrate raw eggs no higher than 115 degrees F. It's in the video. :)
@@kathryngagne5813 thank you Kathryn, I did watch the video and noted Heidi’s temp of 115. However,I’ve been doing my research (as Heidi encourages us to do),and watching numerous other channels’ videos and have noted varying temps by the creators and commenters, like yourself, who successfully dehyd. eggs ranging from 115-to 145 degrees who, even with such a wide range can still successfully use their eggs in baking and scrambling. Another channel says to keep between 138- 140 to keep in raw state otherwise it would be completely cooked and not work in baking . It’s quite confusing to me because another channel dehydrates at 145(which according to most channels is no longer in raw state and still is able to take the powdered eggs and use them successfully in baking breads cakes desserts etc..
Heidi had asked for others to share their experience with eggs and I was just wondering if you dehydrated successfully at a different temp..
Thank you for vid asking hubby to get me the nesco silicone sheets so I can dehydrate along with water glassing my eggs.
Thank you for making this video. Very informative and easy to follow. I had no idea there were silicone mats for the dehydrators. I saw a video that said if you are allergic to cats, it's not their dander but a protein in their saliva that we are sensitive to. He recommended dehydrated raw egg powder, lightly sprinkled over the cat's food and it would "neutralize" that protein resulting in no more allergic reaction.
The silicon trays are the bomb. And hold up use after use after use. I love mine and have dehydrated a LOT of eggs and other things on them. 👍🏼
I blend, fit, and dehydrate a total of 28 eggs each time, using the 6 trays. I must fill them up more I guess.
Love your channel!! Learning a lot! Thank You and God bless you!!
Talk to me! A few of the “popular” UA-camrs say to not dehydrate raw eggs because it’s “not safe”. One said to dehydrate at a high heat . I have dehydrated raw eggs before but no wondering. With what’s happening with laying chickens, I want to have lots of eggs long term
Coffee filters are my go to for the barrier
I love my Cosori and the silicone mats! Hubby dropped a new carton of eggs yesterday but I was able to save them by cracking them and putting them in the fridge. I’m going to dehydrate them right now-thanks Heidi!
How many scrambled eggs per tray, just 4?
I just want you to know Heidi, I took a full page of notes; that's how much great information you give in this one video. Thank you so much!
I just dehydrated separated eggs (three dozen). The whites were beautiful, all sparkly, but not really white. They had a yellowish cast. The yolks were very yellow-orange. Yolks turned out fairly oily, so I haven't powdered them. I think I will use them pretty soon in custard, lemon curd, etc. The whites powdered beautifully and whipped well. They were very glossy and looked thicker than fresh whipped whites, probably because I used a one to one ratio to reconstitute them. I baked gluten free bread with them and they did fine. It was more work than I had expected--will I do it again? Maybe. Probably...lol
thanks so much for sharing your results! I'm waiting for my "fruit leather" sheets to try this very thing! these white and yolk powders are used for baking egg white bread (keto) and are prohibitive to purchase!
I am always learning from you, thanks for all of your wonderful videos~TexasMom
She is a plethora of information!
Heidi, thank you SOOOOO much for all the information you share on your channel. A good friend of mine just sent me a link to your videos the other day and I'm hooked! I love the commonsense way you do things and your can-do attitude and just everything about your food prep methods. I'm a newbie at this and just dehydrated my first batch of Vidalia onions today and I'm so happy with the results. Look out world because now all I can think of is "What can I dehydrate next?????" 😁
I feel the exact same way! I somehow managed to bump into 1 of Heidi's videos about 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love her! She is a very common sense person, who loves her God, and works very hard to be a good steward of all the many Blessings that she receives. I believe that God is using her and her talents in a very special way to help a lot of other people who just want to get back to a more wholesome and simpler way of life. 6:36
Timely advice. Thank you so much.
Good job explaining!
Perfect timing. That was on my list to do today
Excellent info as always, Heidi...Thank you so much!
I really appreciate all your teaching. Thank you.
Thanks again for another helpful video Heidi. So much information, I always look forward to your videos. Thank you 💕 xx Cathi xx
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.❤️
I love your videos! I have learned so much on dehydrating food and vacuum sealing. Thanks so much!
I've not tried this, but it looks very interesting. I usually freeze them, & have Whole egg powder, ground Chia & Flax for emergencies. I do grind up the shells though, to add Calcium to my Mini Hydroponic system. 👍
Glad I have Microgreens, no Veg whatsoever in Lidl today, apparently there's strikes in Spain. Who knew. 🤔
TFS RC, & take care too everyone. ❤🙂🐶
I have tried this in an excalibur. I use large dinner plates the have a rim. The temp is always set on 105 and just let in run about 24 hours or more with most things. Thank you for the info!
Very helpful 😊. Not just meringue but Angel Food Cake 😋 out of the whites of the eggs.
I just put some egg whites in the dehydrator. I will report later on how they whip up. 💕
That's great. Can't wait to hear how it well it works.
I'd like to make a chiffon cake this way, if it works.
I whipped my whites first.. less mess.
how did it work?!
@@amandalines530 Not sure if you are asking me.. it worked great but takes A LOT to make 1/2
🌞Good morning Heidi thanks again for sharing this information with everyone.
Great info, I love your delivery -- fast, clear, packed with information. Thanks for what you are doing.
Dehydrating liquids a few years ago was difficult, but I bought round pizza pans at the dollar store and cut parchment paper circles for the pans. This wasn't perfect, but it did work and I didn't have to use plastic trays.
Could you explain. Round plastic pans, round metal pans then paper then smear the egg and dehydrate? The pans fit your dehydrator and worked. I'm assuming you have a round dehydrator. I didn't know anything solid could go in a dehydrator. I'm just trying to work this out in my head. If you wouldn't mind, what all liquids did do? Thank you vicki
@@VWilt-so3ws The pizza pans from the Dollar Store are small enough to fit into my stainless steel, ten tray, dehydrator made by LEM. I line the pizza pans with parchment paper that I have cut in circles and make sure there is enough of an edge on the paper so the liquid doesn't go under the paper. Because the pans are small enough, there is enough air flow around the edges of each of the ten racks. If you're uncertain, start small as I did with just a few parchment lined pans in the dehydrator. I did this process because I am not a fan of plastic, unless absolutely necessary. I use this process only for liquids.
Is it aluminum round pizza pans with the holes?
You answered my question regarding salmonella!
Thank you so much for this information. I can’t freeze dry and you have so many wonderful tips.
Thank you. I love your channel and your common sense way of doing things.
A dozen whites, angel food cake. Egg yolks, pudding's. Cream pies.
We love you Mrs H.
Awesome Heidi and thank you! Great Grace to you and your family! Sandy
I've done at least 6 dozen. So far so good !
Great clip Heidi. I have been on the look out for a powdered egg help clip.
Cheers and Beers. 😁
Thank you, Heidi for a new update on the dehydrate eggs. I am still wanting to try this; but we are still busy packing and once we are moved, I am going to try it. *lol* I hear someone chiming in the background! I love it Heidi, as you are so real, and I just love you just keep going on. *grin*
Thank you for you're input, and pointing me towards this video. I've got silicone nesco sheets with lips on my Christmas list. Planning on getting more and more use out of my dehydrator.
Hey Heidi. Thank you for all your information. I have learned so much about many things from you. I use my Magic Bullet to mix my eggs and to grind them into powder. It's easy to clean.
Hello Heidi!! Awesome video! You are my go to woman with all the knowledge of how to preserve and how to keep things longer than we ever intended to! I have and continue to learn so much from you! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge with all of us! My daughter gets a bunch of fresh eggs and I try to use them up and share them with friends but I want to do this! And I would love to try the whites separated from the yokes and make a meringue!! And for tiramisu the Italian dessert! I also love those 1/2pints and the pint and a half jars as well.
God bless you and your family and if the newest little one has come yet I hope all is well with that one too!!
Catching up on some videos (can only view a few here and there) and caught this one - perfect timing... trying it this coming week. Thank you. 😊
Thank You, Heidi. The handheld Foodsaver vac-sealed my regular mouth jars just fine once I removed the upside down second lid. God Bless!
Yay I just thought of dehydrating eggs and here you are. It's my next project.
I dehydrated eggs for the first time and they are yummy. Thanks again for all you share!!!! ❤️
Thanks Heidi I just I just got my silicone ribbed trays in the mail. Anxious to try to dehydrate some eggs Thank you so much for the information. I really enjoy your channel and how you explain things
OMG!! You’re AMAZING!!! I’m going to learn a wealth of information from you! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS!!! 💕
Trying to dehydrate raw eggs today...only have the plastic reys and life lesson for me today...I have a nesco gardenmaster...I can only put 4 eggs per tray...had leakage...until these are done dehydrating, I cannot clean the base....found eggs for less than $1 a dozen, so experimenting isn't too costly for me!
Thanks for the video and the helpful comments.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this! I've just started my journey into dehydrating and you have inspired me so much! I too prefer the break bleeder. I find it gives a longer lasting seal than my vacuum sealer does. It gets hard on arthritic hands but your table tip helps so much. I was worried about messing up the hose but between the vacuum sealer, break bleeder and the foodsaver there is plenty extra hose if needed. It's so awesome that you are also a fellow believer. ❤
I really love my Cosori! I haven't done eggs yet but probably will when we have abundant eggs this summer.
Thanks for a great idea. I've been trying to figure out how to store my extra eggs besides freezing or water glassing! Now I know!
I am definitely trying this out!!!
The oil in eggs is where the vitamins are!
Thank you Heidi. 🙂
Funny story, although not so much at the time: when I got the silicone trays last year I realized that the dehydrator is a Snack Master so it's a bit smaller. I also noticed some of the edges were a bit warped (bought used).🙄😄 Anyway, now I'm on the hunt for another dehydrator. I was still able to dehydrate tomatoes and eggs but not as much at a time.
Blessings!💜
Some dehydrators have just trays for sale. I bought more online for my dehydrator so I could do more at a time.
Wow Heidi you are amazing. With your expert instruction and suggestion on the silicone trays for my nesco I was successful in drying my first batch of 20 eggs. They came out perfect and is was so easy. I use a big rectangle container from the dollar store and picked up the whole tray and dumped them in without trying to just remove the silicone part. No spill and then right in the blender then the jar with a mason jar funnel. I did blend them up and dried just a bit more just to be sure. Thank you for all you share. Perhaps now I will be more successful with my tomato powder this year and much easier to clean up. Again thanks and God Bless.
Thank you Hedi I just finally found the silicone for my flat trays. I'm ready to get started. Thank you . Trying to catch up I might have already watched but failed to like. God bless
Thanks for this… getting chickens this summer so hopefully this will come in very handy!
Thank you for all your tips. I'm going to dehydrate some eggs!
I took your suggestion and bought the green silicon sheets. I have a Nesco. You said it will take about five eggs. That is the perfect amount. I use an 8 cup Pyrex cup or a high sided sided bowl. I only do five eggs at a time and I use my immersion blender with the whisk attachment. The high sides help to keep it from making a mess. I pulse them until they are blended and then finish with a steady speed for a few more seconds until it’s blended well. Then I just pour them into the tray. The clean up is super easy.
Good timing to re-visit this process. With our new food issue, this will be a good idea. I did order the silicone trays a while back but haven't used them. Now might be the time. Thanks!
They’re great. I use them for eggs all the time. Any liquid is easier to dry with them.
Due to our new food issues, I’m wondering how to be able to store these long term.
Thank you so much. I kept dehydrating the eggs trying to get rid of the oil. Now I will just go in and put them into the jars.😘😘
Great explanation Heidi Thank You!
I just purchased the silicone trays for my Excalibur. What a game changer. Dehydrating eggs is so easy with these. Thank you for recommending.
I am finding I also really like them for dehydrating ground meats as it allows me to keep some of the fat in them for better flavor.
Thanks for the video I think I'll get some trays, the parchment paper wasn't worth it for me. But it did work. Thank you
After your last video on dehydrating eggs, I dehydrated about a dozen pint jars, but I have to admit I haven't used any yet. I give away so many eggs to my Mom, neighbor & ladies from Bible study, so I haven't done any lately. We're looking into getting a rooster, I only have hens now, so I don't have to buy another round of chicks this year. Many Blessings!
We keep thinking of getting a rooster but being in town in a neighborhood, I just do not feel comfortable. Though I know most of my neighbors would not care, with other things going on in the world right now, I do not need another trumpet making sure everyone knows I have back yard fowl...I am sure you et my drift. One neighbor who has clearly lived in a complete state of fear since early 2020 has already texted me about making sure I keep my chickens feed and water where other birds cannot get to them. I know she loves my chickens but I also know she would be the first to report them if she suspected anything
@@RainCountryHomestead One of the benefits of being in the country in a farming community where almost everyone has some kind of livestock. My nearest neighbor also used to keep chickens and mine don't bother them, but I know what it's like to live in a neighborhood. (plus she gets free eggs and other produce in season). I do have great neighbors though.
Our closets friends live just out of town on 40 acres and have a lot of chickens. My plan is to buy or barter for chicks from them. We already do a lot of swapping such as I took a quart of dried nettle and in exchange got some dried mullein since it will be awhile before mine are big enough to give me much. I also have shared with them many of my volunteers and root cuttings from herbs (marshmallow, comfrey, nettle, and so on). It is great to have friends we can do this with and really help each other out :D
@@RainCountryHomestead It is really sad what the "Drummers" are doing to our Farmers! Do not get a Roaster, as my DIL lives in a sub-division and she will only keep her Hen's. To many Drummers out there that want to starve us all. Your post's are great, please keep up sharing your knowledge. Thank you.
ugh.. roosters. only 1/10 are good to the hens; so there is that. we got half roosters from atwoods one year.. I couldn't even give them away. 3rd year, finally got a trusted papa to watch the hens and I won't let the neighbors offspring in the house to pull his hens away from him. papa won't attack me, won't attack the hens or children and he calls his girls and they listen. he takes them in at night where it is safer.❤
You absolutely NAILED “the next question is going to be! Hahaha I’m like…. You read my mind. I’ve been looking for ways to stock pile long term food and can’t afford a freeze dryer. This is great!
😊
Another great video. I was told to boil the eggs then dehydrate. I’m going to try it this way.Thank you Heidi.❤
Good morning . I got my round kitchen bright silicone rounds for my Cosori Do you know how many eggs per tray? I’m excited to try a lot of your recipes starting with the eggs.Have a great day.😊
Thank you! I really enjoy your videos. So many people are freeze drying and that is something I can’t afford, and I don’t have the space for it. I am in an apartment so the smaller size is perfect, and love all my jars of dehydrated food. I did not have good luck when I tried to dehydrate canned tomatillos, they were glued to the fruit trays. I’m ordering the silicone to try again with diced tomatoes and of course eggs! Thanks!
What all kind of liquids do you dehydrate please. Thank you vicki
Hello!!!
You are an inspiration to many! Watching your videos on dehydrating and the different ones you use, I took the plunge and bought the nesco! I used your link, Thank you!
Prior to that, I got creative and dried a bunch of canned veggies in the oven, using a crab mallet to prop the door open. Then, I used my blender to powder, not fine but like salt. Mixed everything up-- tomato,green beans, carrots and corn and use that for seasoning..yummers!!! Time to make more!
thank you for continuously expanding our education and knowledge, we are all much better prepared, or at least on our way!
BTW.... I need a Mr Rain, have an extra in the shed you're not using? Lolol
Just kidding, I'm on disability and wouldn't be able to keep up!
I love y'all and can't wait to see what you being next!
Good morning! Thanks for the video, ive been freezing my eggs but ive wanted a new way to do them also, so im gonna try this! ✌🏻❤ god bless!
I also live in the city, so i have to buy my eggs, i usually buy them in bulk like the rest of my stuff and it takes alot of room in my freezer when i freeze them, so this will definitely help me alot.
I l-o-v-e dehydrating eggs.
I need to get the silicon trays. I have a Nesco, but considering a Cosori as a second dehydrator, so we can dry herbs and veg AND eggs/bone broth/jerky at the same time.
I only have those fruit roll up trays. Plastic (I know, I know...🙃) I have noticed that the trays warped and are not flat enough, so the eggs flowed funny and spilled, making a mess. I even used a level to ensure the dehydrator was level. But, it still worked, and we are very happy with the results. They took 10-12 hours @ 115F. But we're not in RAIN country...😁
I have a dedicated "coffee" grinder for pulverizing animal products. I have a second carafe for our blender, so I'll try that next time. And I cannot get the regular lid sealer to work. Ever. And I use the brake bleeder, exclusively. And two lids. Bummer.
Have you noticed that the white printing on the silicon tray comes off? There was a reviewer on amazon who washed the thing and it came off, leaving flecks of paint.
I want to get those silicone trays soon, to dry bone broth, vegetable slurries, and ... more eggs!
I had the same thing happen with my plastic trays when I was drying milk. I kept pouring and was wondering why the tray was not filling up all the way then finally realized it was going out all over the counter! haha! Nope, I have used mine quite a few times, at least the Cosori ones, and they still have all the printing on them
I have the round Nesco with the hole in the middle so it is harder to dry liquids. I did get the silicon trays and they're much better. Even new plastic trays I bought were so bent they didn't hold much liquid. I called the company and they said just put them in the dehydrator and they'll straighten out, but they didn't. Looking forward to using the silicon trays. To get the powder out of the bottom of grinder/blender, I use a small paint brush. It works good.
Great video; thanks! Btw, I pick up my entire vitamix and shake it up & down while it's blending. I do the same thing with my magic bullet. My husband laughs whenever he sees me doing it. I'm sure I must look crazy when I'm doing it but it works and it's never ruined any of my blenders and it works lol!
Thankyou so my ch for video...i have dehydrated eggs and was concerned about the presence of oil ...i definitively feel better about it....😊
You give so much info about dehydrating foods. You are full of information and im so glad i found your channel. I've only started canning less than a year ago and learning what u can dehydrate. I'm definitely saving ur channel and first things on the list are milk, cheese and eggs to dehydrate. I thought they could only be freeze dried. Thank you so very much.
Ironically, I just re-watched your last video about dehydrating eggs and was wondering about how they were doing... Still good? Thank you for the update on that!!! Since we don't have chickens, we want to store eggs but there's no room in the freezer. Love your videos!!!
You're AMAZING!
Good info, thanks! Our hens are laying faster than we can eat, good long term storage idea! Subscribed.
I use my blender for coffee as well. Works awesome
Yep, I have been doing that now too since I like getting a quart jar ground up at a time. So much quicker than the little coffee grinder
love the chop stick idea!
Back in the bad old days, we were on USDA commodities and received powdered eggs in paper/foil pouches(mac and cheese packets?). Had 2 that were almost 3years old (I thought we were rotating the stock, oops). They were fine in the zucchini bread and muffins.
I loved those eggs. They made the best egg noodles!
hmm i never tried dehydrated eggs before also for camping great idea 😀
I use my hand mixer, which whips the eggs up really good, and easier clean up
I just started with four eggs to begin with to test it out. Thank you.
I just bought a Cosori dehydrator this week. I need to get those silicone mats so I can make the dehydrated eggs. That will be excellent. Thanks so much for this video! 👩🍳
Me too. I agree with you on the mats. Excited to use it.
I have a Cosori and love it!!!! I got extra trays (silicone) and mesh screens and have done all kinds of stuff.
