Tammy I noticed that you don't use garlic in any of your soups or stews. I want to know if your vacuum sealer comes with a vacuum tube attachment and attachments to vacuum the storage glass jars. Thanks.

I love the prepackaged bread flour ingrediants, I make my own bread and it is fiddly to do each ingrediant every few days, cheers

Thanks for the great video!!!

[tigereye1964]

When you freeze foods they change texture on a cellular level, is the same true with dehydrating? I'm curious if something like collard greens are tenderized by the dehydrating process?

[Malkiarising1]

Can you tell me where you got your chopper, and what the name brand is?

[Christopher711]

Hmmm , I guess the oxygen pack doesn't taste very good. lol

[toddac1]

on your quick bread recipe...can we leave out the spices to have just reg. bread? have you tried this, how about adding whole wheat flour (fresh ground)...have you tried the recipe with powdered egg so you only have to add oil and water? What I'm trying to do is make some quick bread for my elderly relatives in case of emergency's...thank you so much

[Dehydrate2store]

Hi Toddac1,

Yes, you can leave out the spices and use powdered eggs. You can use your own quick bread recipe the only thing you will want to do is increase the amount of water ( equal parts water to dehydrated items) in the recipe to make up for the dehydrated fruit or vegetables. Please make sure you go to our web site dehydrate2store and enter in the giveaway of a 9 tray Excalibur by Dec. 21 2009. Tammy

You rock! Love the videos.

[kosai19]

Thanks Tammy. I just love your videos. This is knowledge that would take years to figure out. Saving us a lot of time. Thanks!

[leadee2007]

I have a Foodsaver sealer and use the bags but they are a bit pricey. Do you know of any other brand that works as well and might be less expensive?

[sandra213]

What would the shelf life of the dry bread mix be good for at room temp (80degrees) before you have to use it?

Your vids are great - thanks

Storage Life & Temperature

Temperature and temperature changes have the most to do with the shelf life of stored food then any other factor. The USDA states, "Each 5.6 C. (10.08F) drop in temperature doubles the storage life of the seeds." Experience has shown that this applies to foods too.

Temperature Years

37.6 40

48.4 30

59.2 20

70.0 10

80.8 5

91.6 2.5

102.4 1.25

[MissFCroft]

Hi, thanks for your videos.

What are the pots your using called?

Also why do you prefer using them?

Thanks.

[Dehydrate2store]

Hi MissFCroft,

They are Crofton crock pots that I purchased at Aldis. The small one were $7.00 and the larger ones were $12.00. My rice cooker is also a Crofton from Aldis I think I paid $20.00 for that. I use them all the time and they work great. The big red on is a Rival ( $22.00 Kohl's)and I like that one too. This Easter Sunday I will make three different soups in less then 10 minutes with my smaller slow cookers and dehydrated foods.

[Dehydrate2store]

I will also, throw together 3 different quick breads with dehydrated fruits in minutes. I can put together a big impressive dinner in a fraction of the time. This is because everything is chopped and in jars. No peeling or chopping. When you start cooking with dehydrated foods you will save so much time and money. I hope you give it a try.

[MissFCroft]

Yes thank you I will, really appreciate the time you take to inform people.

I'm going to order a dehydrator asap :)

Do you suggest a make and model?

Xx

[Dehydrate2store]

Yes, I think that the Excalibur is the best on the market. The fan is on the back of the dehydrator and this creates and even air flow for drying. I have 2 Excalibur and they run day and night and keep on running. I have no financial interest in the company nor will I ever except any money or gifts from this company. So when I tell you this is the best I speak from my heart. Even if you find a used one on the enter net I would buy it.

[digitalX198]

What type/model of vacuum sealer is that please?

[hatterofmaddness]

You had me at cream of broccoli. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. It is REALLY appreciated.

[619inurhouse]

What was that can of stuff you sprayed into the loaf tins before putting in the batter?

[nikkipepperhead]

She said it was Pam (cooking spray)

[leomountainman]
