I have no dehydrator but i am dehydrating on top of my wood stove using parchment paper on metal racks. It takes a little longer and you need to adjust the height of the racks but its working. I have dehydrated onions for onion powder, mushrooms, zuchinni, eggs and carrots. I truley enjoy this type of food preservation and it takes up less space and jars than other canning and preserving methods.

@@normahepburn1643 I am glad you made this comment . You don't even need to buy a dehydrator if you know the principles you can make your own . My grandmother used to dry apples by laying them out on the roof of a wellhouse . Later she got a tip about using her car and switched to that . I am not wild about cars because of the plastic fumes but the principle of glass still applies . Temperature control for the heat and airflow is the biggest reason people buy expensive dehydrators . If you can manage those two things on your own you can make a dehydrator out of sheet metal with passive circulation or add a fan to move the air that will swamp the output of a 400 dollar dehydrator 👍

I say this to everyone doing chicken coops. Check out how to use geothermal heat to heat your coop. You dig down to the frost level, you insulate it, and you'll get lukewarm temperature for your coop, passively. It's not WARM like, inside a house, but for the chickens, is much nicer than it being -30. Less stressful, and with a bit of light insulation in the building it can keep it quite cozy. You can use this same thing to keep water dishes from freezing too. Even when it's very cold. I also didn't know this was an option for storage. This will help in a cold winter. The eggs I get are generally fine for 2.5 or 3 months with cold refrigeration. It takes up so much space though.

Great, concise video, thanks! But FYI, once the egg mixture comes up to the 140F/60C temp you set, they are fully pasteurized in only 12 MINUTES. Pasteurization is as much about time as temp. So I'm not sure freezing the powder is necessary for bacterial concerns (unless I *totally* misunderstood why you freeze 'em).
@Wilderstead
Жыл бұрын
The problem is that there is no guarantee that the eggs have actually reached 140f/60C. The air temp in the dehydrator is that temperature, but the eggs aren’t. Similar to cooking a slab of meat. You might cook it at a temperature of 400F/205C - but your slab of meat will never reach that temp. Or at least let’s hope it doesn’t. We store in the freezer to ensure our final product doesn’t spoil. So that means bacteria, rot, etc. Plenty of folks just leave this stuff in a jar on the shelf. Which is fine for them I suppose but we value every single gram of food we produce too much to take risks that can be easily avoided.

Give waterglassing a try. Slate lime or building lime. Take your unwashed eggs. Knock the dirt off obviously but don't wash. Will need Fresh water (well or rain is best) Slate(slaked?)/building/pickling lime Big jar or many big jars Then add 1 ounce slate lime, builders lime, pickling lime etc. Per 1 quart of water. Regardless of how many eggs. As big a jar as you can get. Fill with eggs then pour in the water lime mixture. Keep in a cool dark location in your house. Will keep for 8-12 months. And tastes fresh :)

interesting, dehydrating vs freeze drying... think i still prefer the latter,yes they are expensive, but if you can afford the initial monthly payment of a few hundred, then you really have no excuse, because you can easily upsell fd products especially candy,fruit,and survival food,ergo you can quickly pay off a freeze dryer by selling stuff you fd. just do it if you can, it's worth it, easy to pay it off if you're smart and sell fd products either online, in person or whatever.

We use that cabelas one and also an Excalibur 10 tray dehydrator. Both of them have worked very well for us. The cabelas unit has been used and abused for over 5 years and still runs as good as it did when it was new. The excalibur we purchased used, it's quite old, but it also runs like new. If it's in your budget, I would suggest looking at those two dehydrators, or sticking with other well known dehydrator brands as opposed to some of the knockoffs out there. We had a sunglife dehydrator that was nice to use but only lasted us about a year.
