Yes I do this all the time it saves room in my pantry. I look for large cans at a cheaper price I got 19 number 10 cans of carrots, green beans, sliced potatoes, corn all for a 1.00 each . So they all went in the dehydrator took up a quarter of the room than it would if I left them in the number 10 cans and there’s no way if I open the number to 10 can that three of us could’ve ate that at one time or even over the course of a week so it was better to dehydrate . 😃 but there was no way I was going to pass up that price lol.

@@grlnexdoorable From the USDA website: "If a can containing food has a small dent, but is otherwise in good shape, the food should be safe to eat. Discard deeply dented cans. A deep dent is one that you can lay your finger into. Deep dents often have sharp points. A sharp dent on either the top or side seam can damage the seam and allow bacteria to enter the can. Discard any can with a deep dent on any seam." I can't find anything regarding the FDA imposing fines for selling dented cans. Their website has guidelines for consumers regarding dented can safety...the obvious stuff: don't use bulging or leaking cans. My local chain grocery store includes dented cans in the clearance section of the store. Can you provide a source website/page that confirms the imposed fine that you mentioned?

I thought I could use for dehydrated soup mixes or powder to add extra nutrition to dishes, breads, etc. Then I found your video today! I was cleaning and reorganizing my pantry and found numerous cans that I needed to use. I always put last in, in the back but since it's just me sometimes I can't eat it up fast enough. I'm older so it's difficult to see those tiny dates, I had to get a magnifier out for some bottle pasta sauces, etc. so I marked the best buy dates large with a black sharpie so I can see it at a glance and be aware what needs used now.

Most of my dehydrated veggies are from fresh or frozen, but one veggie I simply prefer the taste of canned over frozen, is peas (of course fresh is preferred but I don't have a garden). I may be in the minority for that but that is just my taste buds. I even prefer the dehydrated canned peas over the dehydrated frozen as well. Go figure that one! lol I get them in the #10 cans and then dehydrate from that. So convenient for me!

I really appreciate your full explanation of conditioning... before and after powdering. I've watched a number of videos on the topic of creating powders, but you were the first to talk about conditioning at all. I have been dehydrating eggs from the grocery store while they are still available and within a reasonable price. I've been shaking the powder, just because eggs still have an oily shine to them, even after dehydrating. I was going to can them tonight, but then saw how you condition the powder itself. I'll have to wait a couple more days until I can do that. Then I'll vacuum seal the jars. I'm glad KZfaq suggested your video. Thanks for quality content.

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

The eggs unless they were fully cooked are not safe to be dehydrated - and the oily sheen is because they are full of fat. So they really should be stored in the freezer for best results.

Oh Wow! I'm sorry I keep saying "Oh Wow" in your comments but Seriously! I have a recipe that I wanted to try but I didn't want to spend the extra money on fancy Beet Powder at inflated prices. It never occurred to me that I could just buy a can of beets for a dollar or so, dry them, and have just enough powder for the recipe. I am realy enjoying your channel. Since I found you this evening, I have started up a tray of sliced onions, some roma tomatoes I was gifted and finishing up some sliced frozen zucchini I was given but doesnt' taste so good once it is thawed and cooked. I started with some shredded carrots, and I've been eyeballing the cranberries that just appeared in the store. Last year I made my own sweetened dried cranberries. I dunno if you have a video about it,( You probably do) but I wanted to share what I did. I bought a bunch of bags of fresh cranberries. I sorted them by size, big ones I will slice in half and small ones I will chop. I keep a large bowl of water nearby and listen to music or watch a show while I slice the large berries in half and drop them into the bowl of water. When I am done, I agitate the water a bit and then I scoop out the halved berries with a small strainer. What I end up with are half berries where most of the seeds have washed out and settled to the bottom of the bowl of water. I end up with less of a chewy seedy end product that way. With the small berries I do similarly except I roughly chopped them in the food processor and then dumped it all into a bowl of water, agitated it and let it settle, then scooped , or poured off, the flesh from the surface while the seeds settled. I then make a syrup on the stove with my sweetener of choice, I use allulose for low sugar cranberries, and pour the syrup over my berrie halves, cover them and leave it to rest overnight. After that I strain them and put the cranberries on parchment paper to dry, turning them over half way. If I take the time to make sure they are bowl-up, I don't even hve to turn them. The chopped berreis I just dry unsweetened and put into a jar to add to recipes, I like to add it to yogurt and let it rehydrate while I finish chores and then have a nice rewarding snack with chewy cranberry bits. . I hadn't thought to powder it once it's dry, but I might try that this year.

Honestly this would be a great idea if you are someone who goes to the food bank pantry they always give so much cans out each month per family. Hands are quite heavy and take a lot of space. Also canned goods can go bad quickly do to bad storage of them. Personally I do not open much canned goods each week. The main cans that I do open are tuna. I honestly prefer fresh vegetables and fruits or frozen vegetables and fruits. But in a emergency situation can goods work out very well but dehydrated food last longer and does not need refrigeration. And if you have cans that will go bad very soon this would be a great way to preserve that food in the can . Make sure to drainage can and rinse the vegetables or the fruit out with water. Do not over dehydrate your vegetables or your fruits or they will be hard as rocks. And also they will shrink to nothing. With all the disasters and the food shortages in many places be prepared to store your food as well as your water and your medical supplies for emergency purposes we all know that it is coming up soon. Also it is a good idea to buy some vegetable and fruit seeds so that you can grow your own goods. God bless America and each and every person in this world and God bless the poor animals around the world who are also suffering.

Thank you for this, very informative. Are there any advantages/disadvantages of dehydrating canned versus frozen vegetables? Thank you for offering free shipping with the magnet. I would have gladly paid a couple dollars for shipping.

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

Frozen is best - more nutrients, better quality. This is just an issue of convenience, moving stock out, and for those who might live in a food dessert and canned is their only way to get things easily.

It's not shelf-stable over time, though, because of the fats - which can go rancid. So best to store in the freezer until you need it.

I recently purchased canned diced potatoes, I never buy these but I thought I'd save some time cutting but on delivery, the 3 cans arrived dented I was going to return them but Walmart said I didn't need to, so what are your thoughts on dented cans storage or dry?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

Food handling safety says never use dented or expanded cans. But you have to determine if that dent is something you want to risk. Most of the time, I use them - but that's my choice in my home.

Don't pitch all the liquid in the cans! Start saving those juices for adding to a pot of "catch as you can" soup. When you get enough of this leftover stuff, you can make a meal or stretch a dish if surprise guests show up closer to mealtime. Start a freezer container to put little labelled baggies into until you have enough to cook something.

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 жыл бұрын

The expiration date doesn't mean a lot on the can in the first place for you - just that you've hit the optimum shelf life of the food, and while it's still good for another year or so, it will begin to degrade over time, but still perfectly edible for awhile. Dehydrating may extend for awhile, but it's really not the point of dehydrating canned veg.
