By request, the chopper used is a Kuhn Rikon manual food chopper. The one shown was a gift from 3 or 4 years ago.

Great video & information. I looked up uses for pecan meal and this popped up, "You can use it for breading chicken or fish before frying or baking. It can be worked into pie crusts to add a nuttiness (and we all know how good pecan pie can be!), or used as a topping to fruity desserts. If you like pecans, pecan meal can go just about everywhere on everything."
Has a bunch of great uses for sure! One thing is after the big event hits we can't afford to let anything go to waste. We must be sure to maximize our resources and work as smart as possible!
Nice investment! i appreciate the reminder about fats too... I actually haven’t grown sunflowers in a few years, since moving from Kentucky, It’s probably a good idea to stack a dozen packets in my SHTF packet stash and rotate out every few years. I haven’t seen any pecan trees in my little subsdivision (mower reasons probably) so I am going to try to identify the one I can find within walking distance. Good video, appreciate this 🙏
If there is any old turn if the century homes in the area thats where theyll be. Dont forget peanuts since its super sandy soil down there you can get away with it
👍 Very cool info!! And dangit! There WAS a pecan tree on our property until my wife’s grandpa died. The grandma hated that tree ... another tree to look into for our property me thinks ....
Anthony, that was a great video , that press looks like it does a good job , pecan oil is healthy and superior to other oils from what I've read . I liked the manual chopper as well , thanks for sharing , stay safe ,God bless !
Thank you Michael. It is very healthy and one of those oils that is exceptionally good for the skin for use as a stabilizer in things like salves and balms.
The most interesting video I have seen in a long time. What would you use to power something like this in a grid down?...by the way, the chopper almost stole the show till the press went on lol.
It takes a ton of wattage so itll definitely need a hardcore system to run it. They make manual press systems but the key is heat. Heat makes the oil really flow
@@MosaicHomestead i mean without the heater im sure itll do just fine. The heating element takes the juice. My generator will run it no problem. Just gotta unplug the fridge lol
I will do this bro this is basically the healthiest oil one can get. hey man you should try to put the meat that is coming back again to get the extra oil that might be left like a second chance or may be even a 3rd turn.
Truthfully it's so dry after that first run there really is nothing left to squeeze. The pecans essentially turn into pencil shavings. They work great on oatmeal though. Or mixed into a pancake batter.
@@PalmettoPrepared yeah you should not throw that away you can use it or eat basically you just end up with the protein and fiver and the glucose that is on pecans.
That is really nice you got so much oil! Do a video making something like chicken fried steak with it! Would love to see how it does in the fryer! I do wonder if running it through a paper filter would raise the smoke point of the oil. Like you mentioned, people just don't get how vital fat is and how crazy rare it was in the past. Fat is so important and vital and the old lovely southern method of frying food is a great way to add fat and taste to very lean meats! PS - You say pecan just fine! Hahahah
Anthony, I am very impressed which reminds me that while i do not have nut trees, there are three walnut trees on my street and about a gazillion hazelnut (aka filbert) trees within a few miles. I need a press like yours, do you happen to use if for anything else other than oil pressing? Many thanks!
Thank you Martha. Truthfully ive only used it a handful of times. The sunflowers was a fail. Peanuts worked. And now pecans. The meal is intriguing because it allows you to store essentially a nut longer term since the fat is gone. Reminds me of that powdered peanut butter without the sugar.
@@PalmettoPrepared when i make almond milk, i dry the meal, pulverize and use as almond flour and it totally worked. I heard you say you could mix in with flour and use that way too.....so lots of uses for the meal. NICE
@@PalmettoPrepared an oldie but a goodie, i was filming for about a year before I got any real views so i have a treasure trove of oldies: ua-cam.com/video/FtLmVR3b9_E/v-deo.html
Unfortunately no. The heat is necessary to get the oil moving from the nut. Olives and avocados can get away with cold pressing but nuts need heat to get things moving. Its the price you pay for an oil with a very high smoke point
Thank you LG. For me, i use high vitamin E oils (anything nutty) in balms as a stabilizer but pecan oil especially, has a very high smoke point. So its great for high heat cooking as well as seasoning cast iron.
@@LibertyGarden for me, ive never tried a nut oil for soaps. I know it will work but ive personally never tried it. Ive only personally done lard and coconut oils. But im not opposed to trying it as it is a good softener for the skin
I remember getting it as a gift like 4 years ago. Found it on amazon but i guess they updated the design. Put the link in a pinned comment. Its a kuhn rikon brand

way cool Ant. love that little hand grinder and yes 50%is awesome
Thank you, I got that as a gift like 3 years ago and i use it all the time! I need to find it and get a back up or 3.

Its cool. Yall have tons of almonds out there in cali. Almond oil rocks too
Hazelnuts up here growing wild but I would have to fight the squirrels for them. lol
Fight them with swords. Hazelnuts are good. I just planted 2 bushes
Very nice. Havent used much pecan oil but your right its hard to find fat especially good fats in nature
Especially in certain climates. I wish we could grow olives here in upstate SC
You and yours have a good thanksgiving.
Likewise my friend. Hope yall had a mighty large feast
You are the man...I watched it all...wow! Just wow!
Thanks will
Good stuff, Anthony. Pecan Meal dry properly and grounded make a great supplement to the Chicken or add bulk to flour. But all oil should be remove.
In food /cooking playlist.
@@Diebulfrog79 trust me, at the end of this process, there is no oil whatever left
@@PalmettoPrepared Good, Anthony. grind it up feed to the chicken or make pancakes
@@Diebulfrog79 this batch was used over ice cream. The peanut meal was used on oatmeal
@@PalmettoPrepared : good. Don’t used Acorns, too bitter tannins in oil

Thank you Michael. It is very healthy and one of those oils that is exceptionally good for the skin for use as a stabilizer in things like salves and balms.
Native Americans used to chop the nuts , boil them, and skim the fat off after they cooled. They are the boiled pecans as a kind of porridge.
Great information. I have plenty of puhcans every year.
I think ita funny how theres like 4 different ways to say it
Very cool Anthony 👍👍👍
Thank you so much
Very informative. Thank you.
I do miss the abundance of pecans.
A lot of uses for the meal
Great video Palmetto
Thank you Maccabeus. The meal tastes great on ice cream thats for sure

You know it! Its so hard to get a good amount of fats so thats why all the old timers put pecans and walnuts in everything.
PEE- CAN for the win!!
@@PalmettoPrepared - Good point on why pecans were put into everything all the time. Also explains why nut toppings were used so much in the past.
I’m happy you pronounced Pecans correctly! 😂 SF!
See!!! Tell that to Steve!!
F Steve 😂!
@@eastwindfarms3671 😂
Awesome
Thanks Acer
The pecan oil is a excellent moisturizer
Very good in my lip balms
We make pie out of puh-khans, Anthony! Just ask Dear Abby.
Here in Indiana you get Black Walnuts. Nasty things the kids stain their clothes and hands with. No idea if you can get nuts out them.
Very interesting love it 👍
Looks like a M2 SBR!
Its what it feels like when i take it apart to clean it

Oh she will be makin all kinds of cameos im sure. Been hard to film lately but ill stick her in the next one or IG for you!
I'm with you, they're peCANS
Thank you 😊
How did it taste? Is it a neutral cooking oil or can you taste the pecan in the oil?
Nice video Anthony!
Tastes just like roasted pecans. Definitely not neutral but really good for searing steaks
I'm not disappointed as I also say it that way.
You passed the test. You can join our club
😍 Yaya!
@@PalmettoPrepared but is pink required on Wednesdays?
@@rachelknight6928 wednesdays and every third Friday of the month
