  • good stuff Susan, it was neat seeing all the old setups they used..

  • @dianemummvideos It's interesting to find that they didn't necessarily do things the way we assume they did. Knowing these methods could save a lot of time and food.

  • Awesome video. Great info for those using solar dehydrators. Thanks for the tip about heating to kill any Noseeums that might have taken up residence.

  • I enjoyed the old cookbooks. My mother suffers from Alzheimer's and I couldn't remember all of her German Sourbratten recipe. She learned to make it when worked for Theresa Martin in Jackson Hole, WY. Mrs Martin was of the WWI generation. She had learned it from her Mother handed down generation to generation in Germany. The recipe is the same. Thank you! Thank you!

  • Grabbing frozen food (already blanched), in season and on sale is a great time savor when you want to get a good supply of the basics dried in a hurry.

  • Thanks for this video! I really enjoy watching this.

  • @NewDaysOldWays1 Thank you!

  • @imstillworkin ... I lined my oven racks with medal window screens. Bought 4 extra racks from a second hand store. Wire ties to hold it in place. Parchment paper on top of wire and keep my oven set to warm which is 110-150 degrees...works like a charm and I can get so much more product on the racks than I ever could in a conventional dehydrator. I buy veggies in bulk by the case. Once finished I fill 1/2 gallon jars then place filled jars in the oven @ 175 to oven seal jars 30 min. No eggs/bugs!

  • @BespokeGroupUK Yep, that's who they are but I love them anyway, lol.

  • @imstillworkin Then they are a bunch of wankers with no soul and no respect for social, industrial or agrarian history
