Quick Dehydrated Meals! || Prepper Food made in Your Own Kitchen || DIY Camping Food!

Hey, how long does the vacuum sealed dehydrated food last in terms of shelf life?

I am very new to dehydrating and just watched how to dehydrate carrots.. She chopped and drhydrated and then put it in a jar and then said you have to turn the jar over every day for a week to check for any moisture or mold. I was wondering if you have to do that with these meals too?? I would love to have these meals all prepped for days I dont feel well enough to cook

Wow, Tina, I love this video.....more please!

This was excellent, all the detail I needed and all questions answered. Thank you

Most vacuum bags are capable of boil-in-bag, so you can literally just pour the water into the bag, then set aside. Especially if you have a bag cozy made of Mylar bubble wrap insulation.

How do you figure out how much water to add when cooking?

DO NOT rinse your ground beef off in your sink. Putting all that grease down the drain can clog you pipes pretty badly. Just pat off with paper towels.

I do my camping meals exactly like this. Very easy and good.

I'm a single household so every ounce of food needs to be used. If I make a roast or something similar I either have to freeze it or eat it for days. Dehydrating is my option. Please share more details about using the soup (dairy?) Or coconut milk (oil). I don't want to risk anything getting rancid. Thanks for the help!!

How long will they store?

Great recipes, and I could listen to you all day.

These are great recipe ideas, I'm definitely going to try them! One thing I want to mention is, when I used to brown my ground beef in a skillet before dehydrating, I was not very impressed with how poorly it re-hydrates. There is something about caramelizing the meat that prevents it from returning to the same tender texture it had prior to dehydration. Now I boil my ground beef in a stockpot full of water, rinse it with hot water, pat it dry, then dehydrate it. This method gives you dehydrated ground beef that re-hydrates more readily back to that softer texture.

I like these

Since fat is not desirable for dehydration is it ok to sauté onion with a little EVOO? Or something else or nothing? Really want to try this!

First video watched, Twas awesome, quick question though….how do theses rate vs those store bought ones? I assume better but want to check before doing.

Thanks
In Australia

Thank you for the video! Is 150g per meal per person or per 2 servings? Thank you

How long can they be stored in the vacuumed seal please?
Lovely video by the way

Thank you so much. I'm newer to backcountry camping where weight counts and the clarity of your video is great!

How long can these be stored for ?

The 2 tablespoon cheese is it total or pr portion ? And the same for the milk powder ?

Do you need to carry a cooler with you? How long can you carry dehydrated meals with you?

how long will dehydrated meat and other foods keep in jars or in vac bags safely

These look great! How long are they good for? The cream soup makes me nervous.. does it stay good long? Thanks

Does 50 g of dehydrated meat equal 1 1b fresh meat?

These recipes look great! You said 150 g per meal was that per serving, or for 2 servings you packaged ? Also I wanted to know if I add more than enough water to cover my ingredients to get a saucier recipe would that compromise the quality of my meal? Thank you

Thank you. You have used grams ^^

what do you add to the package that little pouch

155 degrees! That's cooking temperature, I thought you wanted to dehydrate the meat, not cook it. Oh you mean 68 degrees Celsius not 311 degrees Fahrenheit (which is what 155 degrees Celsius is). Now I understand. The rest of planet Earth (ie not the US) doesn't understand nor do they ever use Fahrenheit.

How long is dehydrated hamburger and chicken good for ?

Thank you for a great video 👍🏻 Can i use homemade cream of chicken soup ?

Thank you for some good ideas for hiking food lot better than the mountain houses

I am new at dehydrating and was wondering if you have ever tried making a meal that you were going to eat and then dehydrating the left overs?

So can you season the mix instead of adding it to the dried mix?

Than you so much for your video and the recipes in the description. Can't wait to try them.

Thank you for sharing this. I will be making these meals.

How long do the meals last in storage and how long does the meat last in storage on its own? Thanks! Great video!

OMG new delicious recipies to try😊 great video and explanation

I’m a newbie too,but what is the little packet in the bottle and where do you get them

So what do you think is the maximum time these stay good for?

Thank you for sharing it helps me a lot. I sure will be making some of them to have on hand.

Well a couple of comments.
Thanks for the video. Good to see the ideas getting out there
If folks are going to use 150F temp, that's going to preclude a LOT of the dehydrators out there. I have found if you can get 130F on your machine, you are fine.

I think there's a bit too much fuss about removing the grease from meat. Keep in mind, the fats are where the flavor is. I have found that the rinsing in hot water process is not worth it. Just get a low fat lean burger mix, use a paper towel in the frying pan to get any fat you do see... and call it good. And lastly, go ahead and season the meat with salt and pepper when you're browning it. The seasoning will bind with the fats and "soak into" the meat. It's a pretty different taste sensation when you just add salt to a dried mix instead of salting the meat.

I have made meals where the ingredients, like beef or turkey, vegetables, pasta, whatever... are all dehydrated first and then mixed when dry. There's some logic to this, but I have found that the meals taste better when all the flavors and textures bond together during a normal cooking process. You like how the meal tastes when you cook it? Good. That's what you got. However, big chunks of food won't work... and you should definitely add more spices than you normally would because dehydrating will "kill" some of the flavors.

this was fantastic.. thank you so much

I’m a newbie to dehydrated food, so thank you for your clear instructions! Off to buy a dehydrator now!

Great stuff, thanks!

Omg I tried your curry recipe and it isoooo good ,I didn’t have the curry you had so I used madras curry ,I took a little out of my dehydrated mix ,made up the spice you said put it in a lil bowl scooped half of it out and boiled up enough water just to cover put on stove in pot boiled the water out of it added spices omg it was so good I could only give my husband one spoonful ,but I’m the curry person in our house and I love curry anyway ,I will make him some when we go camping he really liked it too,I was just testing it and it gets a big 10/10 from me ,I just hope it stores well I also haven’t got the chicken so I’m definitely going to try it with chicken and it’s also yummy without great extra staple to have dehydrated!!

I m making the curry and I feel that there is a lot of oil from the coconut milk ,will that not go rancid???

That was good info! Gonna give it try❤ ty😊

I'm backpacking in September...this will be great for meals on the track...thank you😊

Could you make these and store them in mylar bags for long term storage?

Awesome video.... so many nonsense misinformation video's out there saying you can dehydrate meat 🤣
