How did I not know about this channel? Lady you taught me more in the last 3 videos than I learned about dehydrating in my whole life. Thank you, you are top of the pops in my book. Terrific information. Just really useful stuff. Wow!

Tip for everyone with round dehydraters: pic up a splash guard for a frying pan from the dollar tree. Just unscrew the handle and place on top of your round dehydraters tray for small pieces. Being stainless steel makes the super easy to clean up and the holes are small enough for those diced food and herbs. They do get warm so be careful when handling. Thanks for all the info.

Great tip! But the diameter still matters - not all round dehydrators are the same diameter, so be sure to measure first.

@@ThePurposefulPantry HI from canada also. thanks for your helpful info. I just dried bell peppers. and i changed the dehydator too operate higher than the recommended 135F ( Nesco). i set to 145F because for some reason at 135 the air was not warm-hot air (unlike my other identical nesco machine at 125 drying something else). so i had to switch game plan to run hotter than 'stated' temp. this switch up now has be doubting things. suspecting case hardening. i dont know if they case hardened. these are chopped frozen bell peppers. called "3-pepper onion blend" by presidents choice. i have run the nesco dehrdrator for almost 24 hours now, rotating trays. the red peppers are kind of bendy but hard on outside. they do no snap clean like mushrooms or squishing peas or snapping green beans. i would not call these red slices strands brittle unless we take a tiny part of one like the end of one, where it was not as thick to begin with. they have a leathery way to them while remaining hard on outside and they pling when dropped. how do i know if these are dry? i assume they are (by time) but cannot find actual info stating when these are ready. i can find actual info describing result for all other foods. but not frozen peppers.

Darcy, your videos are amazing! Very well done, you get right down to the point, you address most things we commonly need, I am playing catch up with your dehydrating videos. I just purchased a Magic Mill, 6 tray that I am eager to start using. My grandkids, ages 8 and 6 are involved and they are very much looking forward to it too. I homeschool the kids, and I use every opportunity of every day living to integrate into the lessons. We will certainly use food preservation, planning, dehydration, weighing etc as part of their schooling. by the way, I really like how you model and explain how to get the proper measurement of the final dehydrated problem. We can follow you easily. Thanks again! From extreme South Texas, Rio Grande Valley.

I love dehydrating. I have dried 3 times already, Mushrooms, Peppers, and Potatoes. So total novice. I live off grid so I watch my power like I never did before. Dehydrating uses power! My burns 1 amp to run fan and electronics and cycles heat between 0 and 15 amps. Washer and gas dryer run 30-ish. That was at 125 degrees, my kitchen is 68 degrees. This is well worth the effort which is almost nil compared to canning. Plus you don't need the care you need with canning. But if money for power bill is an issue don't run for days on end if not needed.

@@ThePurposefulPantry The true benefit of Drying comes in the set and forget. Using a woodstove for two years drying apples mushroom and more but you must watch it like a hawk. If you don't rotate and every 20miuntes you will have burnt food. Plus with all that extra handling there is extra food loss with each slice that slips and drops to stove or floor. Besides I am drying for free now that the rain season is over.

I love this video. I am learning so much from you! The whole peppers are gorgeous! I bought a Ninja food processor in September because I burned up my small Kitchenaid food processor. I look forward to using it soon. I have gallons and gallons of Datil Peppers. They are spicy and much hotter than jalapeño peppers. I make Datil pepper: mustard, hot sauce, jelly and a meat baster. I use the whole pepper with stem removed. I am considering drying the whole peppers with pith and seeds and once dried grinding it all into powder and them using the powder when I make the hot sauce or Mustard. My Datil peppers are frozen and the longer they are in the freezer the hotter they get this is based on my experience. I plan to dry some whole and cut as you did the sweet peppers. I will let you know how it goes. Oh I make several gallons of the hot sauce or mustard at one time in an electric turkey roaster. I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ the look of your whole roasted mini sweet peppers. I hope to find sales on mini peppers and roast some whole.

Should a person blanche peppers first? Will that help rehydrate? DJ

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 жыл бұрын

No need, which is why I didn't show it. Even blanching will still need cooking time as a blanch is a short cooking spurt - not a long one. If you want, you can, but it's definitely not necessary.

Im just saying...rings dusted with seasoning (maybe ranch?) Would be a great snack! Not sure about using them any other way besides soups...

Can these be pickled after dehydrating? Would the brine rehydrate them?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

It would, but why not just pickle them up front?

Why can't you? They are relatively inexpensive in 2nd hand shops - especially now when everyone's cleaning out their kitchens!

Sure - just don't use any oil/fat

Do you vacuum seal your jar? Also can these be vacuum sealed in a bag for long term storage. Could these be good in stir-fry or just soup and casserole?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

No, I generally don't vacuum seal, it's not necessary, but you can. you'd want to cut them before drying if you want throw them into things.

@@ThePurposefulPantry, thank you for answering so quickly! I'm new to this, but I watched your videos and started my first dehydrating tonight (diced bell peppers). When they are dry, I'm going to check them for 5 days like you say to. But I'm putting some in several jars to do that, instead of one large jar. I'm really 😁 excited.

How long do dehydrated pepper slices last if they are vacuum sealed?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

12-18 months, just as if they were in an airtight jar without sealing - it prevents things from degrading too fast, may give you extra time, but 12-18 months is optimum no matter what you dry.

Give it a try. You would need to rehydrate them fully. They will not have the same body, but might work.

Hi I have been dehydrating some pepper, tomatoes and cucumber for the last 36 hours and they are still not dry I did everything like they say to do but they want get dry. Can I put them in the freezer like they are? Didn't want to freeze them but that is all I know to do. Can any one help me?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

Are you allowing them to cool before testing them? Were they frozen beforehand? What temp are you drying it at? Keep drying them if they are not dry after testing (once cool).
