I'm British, so I thought I'd help with the pronunciation of Worcestershire. It's meant to be wooster-sheer, or just wooster. (Any place name in England that ends in shire is pronounced sheer.) I'm looking forward to dehydrating marshmallows, thanks for the idea!

@BoingBB 3 жыл бұрын

I bought a dehydrator last week and I have done marshmallows, red peppers, mushrooms, some herbs and spinach. All came out well. I also tried banana and apple but I wasn't happy with them. I'll try again though. I'm in England and agree with your pronunciation of Worcestershire and other counties that end in 'shire' - but that doesn't apply if you are talking about 'the Shires'! :)

@janinedear-barlow 3 жыл бұрын

Depends on where in England you live. I'm from Southampton and I pronounce it Sher.

@BoingBB 3 жыл бұрын

@@janinedear-barlow Yes, there are many variations but I think the one to follow would be the 'standard' - what used to be called 'BBC English'. i.e how a BBC newsreader would say it. Otherwise we would get bogged down in a multitude of regional variations.

@janinedear-barlow 3 жыл бұрын

@@BoingBB newsreaders are trained to speak with no specific accent. Go through the comments and you will see that more people use the way I say it. Both ways of saying it are right, it's just different places in England saying in different ways. I'm from the south so my way is right.

@BoingBB 3 жыл бұрын

@@janinedear-barlow I'm not talking about the newsreaders of today, I was referring to the times when you didn't need a regional accent to work there, as seems to be the case now. 'BBC English' was designed so anybody could understand it. Many regional accents are difficult for foreigners to understand - Geordie, Glasgow, Norfolk, Yorkshire etc., so people in the media usually spoke with an accent-free voice. That's not to say there is anything wrong with regional accents but it's all about getting the message across clearly.

@kevenbates4313 2 жыл бұрын

I will have to read up on this, but how on earth could freeze-dried raw eggs go bad. You're not going to eat them raw, you're going to rehydrate and then cook them. What risk is freeze-drying adding that makes that unsafe? Even with some type of contamination, you're are going to be cooking them. Sounds like this should be safer than freeze-drying cooked eggs. This sounds more like it's an issue that arises not because of freeze-drying but because a small group of morons do not properly store or prep their freeze-dried goods but assume it's magic and no matter what they do it's going to last 25 years. So we get safety guidelines based on the actions of the lowest denominator of our populations instead of instructions on how it can be safely done. Can we not re-visit this no kid left behind policy so that it works by helping those left behind and not by slowing down everyone else.

I just found your channel and am enjoying all the dehydrating information you provide as I'm fairly new to dehydrating. Here's something I can help you with, the pronunciation of worcestershire, here in Australia and the UK it's pronounced wooster sheer, we also call it wooster sauce or just black sauce. And just a bit of fun trivia, the sauce was created by two chemists in the city of Worcester England named John Wheeley Lea and William Perrins, the sauce first went on sale in 1837 and the main ingredient in the sauce is anchovies. God bless

@lat1419 2 жыл бұрын

We use the full "worcestershire" when talking about the actual place. My family originally came from there. We say WOO -ster-shur. Three syllables, with very quiet r on the end. Currently living in PEM-bruk-shu(r) another one that foxes travellers. But the sauce? Woosta. The Australians call it "woozy", as they love putting a Y on every thing. I can't see any point in dehydrating Woozy, as it is concentrated already, improves in the bottle, and would lose some of the volatile flavour substances too. But then i can't see the point in spending days reducing stocks to make powders, either, and that seems quite popular too. As an old style chemistry buff, I would be inclined to use a vacuum distillation process to concentrate liquids but that is probably too much of a faff for most preppers. (Hint, use the moonshine still!) Maybe I havent truly got the dehydrating bug, yet, where pushing the boundaries is all part of the pleasure. I do know that the basics - pumpkin, citrus, fruit, veggies, etc - are enough to keep me busy, and friends fascinated.

Do you have a video of all the ways available to storage the dehydrated food?

New to the channel and watching a bunch of the dehydrating ones. You have given me courage to try it. Can't afford an expensive unit, but found one to try for around $70. With current prices I am excited about doing the frozen ones. 2 questions...Can any frozen fruit and vegetable be dehydrated? Have been slowly learning how to use O2 absorber's, mason jars, Mylar bags and vacuum sealer. I have bought all of those. I have also bought a few dried vegs and fruits online and repackaged. I want to get in and out of them often to use, so can I just vacuum seal each time without using an O2 absorber? Thank You for all of your work, it helps all of us starting out on the adventure. P.S. so excited to try the marshmallow stick ones you did.

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

Good news - you don't even have to vacuum seal if you are drying properly, and storing in the right size containers. Don't worry with the O2 - you don't need them, and yes, you can just reseal with the vacuum sealer. Dehydrate most frozen things right on the trays without defrosting. I do suggest fruit leather sheets for frozen fruits because some can release a lot of moisture - you might want to defrost those first if you have a bottom fan unit.

If it's Backpacking Chef - he's great. I don't have any others to go by. But yes, many meals that I wouldn't recommend for long-term storage are fine for short-term camping trips. If you plan on making them ahead and they contain fats or proteins (broth included), store in your freezer until your trip, pull them, and use them with gusto!

Is freeze drying different from dehydrating? If so, I've seen people freeze drying eggs. Thank you for all your knowledge. I'm enjoying getting into dehydrating. We're leaving for long term traveling and mushrooms and strawberries are one of the hardest to keep from going bad. My mushrooms are conditioning as I write this. 👍

You'll need to look at the instructions for each of the companies, but I don't with dried milk. I do with buttermilk because of the fats in them - it just helps keep it stored longer.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 жыл бұрын

Depends on what was in it. If it was just the basic sauce and only a little oil, you're probably good - if it had meat, I'd tuck it in the freezer - even though it's likely safe, it's just safest storage. And as long as it doesn't turn, you have a year or more easily.

I just dehydrated pepperoni and prepackaged sliced chicken (for sandwiches), for chips. My plan was to use them as snacks and chips for carnivore dip. I was searching to see if they need to be refrigerated after dehydration, but now I guess I’ll need to toss them in the trash. They’ve been in ziplock bags on my counter for several days. Every couple days I’ll smell the the chips and take one out for taste. Oh well, at least I haven’t yet dehydrated egg whites, which were next on my list.

No - you need to freeze them. You CAN dehydrate them, but the shelf-stability is not what you need, so store in the freezer.

If this is the case what temp and how long would you recommend and how long can i keep it in my freezer? many thanks.

You would do it just like jerky - so since you cooked it head of time, you can still dry it at 165F to keep it at a safe temp, and store it in the freezer after. You can store it in the freezer for about a year.

I have a question about the safety of dry storing 2 items. 1) I bought dehydrated butter. It's a quart size can that once opened you can use up to a year. I sprinkle it on fish and sometimes chicken when baking but there's no way I'll use it all in a year. Can I separate it into smaller jelly jars and use an oxygen absorber to extend the shelf life? 2) Husband can't have gluten so I have to buy him gluten free products which are expensive. I have a few boxes of gluten free cake mix that are close to expiring. I only use half a box at a time to bake a 8x8 cake. I have to ADD eggs, oil and milk to the mix so it doesn't contain it in the mix. Can I put that in mason jars with an oxygen absorber? I'm new to dehydrating dry storing foods (about a year) and wanted an opinion. I love your videos. Subscribed.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 жыл бұрын

The butter is a short-term thing in general because of the fats. So you can put it in airtight containers and keep it in smaller jars just to keep from opening it. You can extend it by vacuum sealing and freezing it. Because I don't know what the ingredients are on the box, I can't tell you, specifically. Most grains, even non-gluten ones, don't have a long shelf-life. So I'd vacuum seal them in pouches and go from there.

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but could one dehydrate a bullion paste type thing like "Better Than Bullion?" They have so many different flavors, if this was dehydrateable would be awesome if they could be dried and made into a powder. I don't like most dried bullions because of the MSG in them.

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

You can dry just about anything. it's storage that becomes the issue. If it contains a lot of fat/oils in it, then it needs to be stored in the freezer for best results long-term. And yes, it can be pulled out and used for things that stay out, but it's not considered shelf-stable for long as the fats will oxidize and turn rancid over time.

You can still choose to do it or not for yourself since they are your eggs and not commercial (less likely to have salmonella issues). It's a guideline - but you can choose.
