How to dehydrate eggs at home Part 2 of 2

Think you can only dehydrate fruits, meats and veggies? Think again. I just dehydrated a #10 size can of eggs. 1.) These are precooked, so the chance of salmonella is eliminated. 2.) It cost me less than 9 dollars after I figured it out, whereas a #10 can with S&H is about 22-28 dollars, depending on where you purchase. 3.) The FDA says it should be avoided, so, I figure that's my cue to figure out how to do it and get it done. 3 dozen of these eggs were cooked with margarine in the frying pan, and that is NOT something you want to do for a several year shelf life. Fats will just make the powder rancid after an extended period. Are these wasted, then? No. So long as I keep them in a freezer, they will be fine up to a year. Room temperature- meh...maybe 4 or 5 months, possibly six. These will get used for camping trips over the summer and fall. From now on, when I make these, I know to use *no* fats to cook them. Then i can use the seal-a-meal and an oxygen pack to give them a 5 year room-temp shelf life. That will be nice. And cheap. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. :)

NOW I KNOW THIS CAN BE DONE. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF ALL THE ENERGY AND EFFORT YOU DEVOTED TO THIS EXCEEDS THE COST OF COMMERCIAL CANNED POWERED EGGS. SAW A YOU TUBE VID..."HONEYVILLE POWDERED EGGS"...ABOUT $15.00 PER CAN. THE TESTER REPORTED GOOD RESULTS.

@Tiggerpilot LOL If I'm not mistaken, you're referring to another video of mine. We have lots of Honeyville Grain products, including eggs. I did a review on their eggs in another vid some while back. Doing this was a learning experience, and I enjoy having that knowledge under my belt. Now, the question is, how to dehydrate using only the sun! That's going to be the next project. How to dehydrate eggs for storage when you have no electricity and you're given 4 dozen eggs. LOL

My daughter and I have tried nine dozen eggs and had some problems. Maybe you can help. We raise our own eggs and the first batch dried so well we couldn't reconstitute them, even in an hour. My oven on 'warm' is too hot. They looked like corn flakes, but after going through the blender, they stayed dark and brown.

The second time we tried the dehydrator and set it on 150. After six to eight hours the color was better. They were yellow, but they had green spots. any ideas?

[YounaTuber]

@susanoakley I have heard and experienced that when reconstituting eggs, the best thing to do is let them sit overnight in the fridge. Also, a mistake I made here is using -anything- to cook them in, i.e. oil, butter margarine, etc. The fats do not break down to be dehydrated.

@YounaTuber What Temperture did you set your Dehydater at? 150?

[YounaTuber]

@rightlydivide This cheap-o dehydrator we have doesn't have a temperature setting on it. LOL I would guess between 150 and 225, by my estimations.

just an fyi, save your shells after rinsing them. check online.

excellent source of calcium, after processing properly. keep the vids coming.

@KingRyltar Was just thinking that :)

I wonder....in order to eliminate that "grainy" texture, because of the dehydrated eggs being pulvarized, if you leave the eggs the way they come out of the dehydrater. OR, pulvarize only half, and leave the other half the size they dehydrate at. This way, you will have less grainy textures throughout. Juss thinkin'...

[liverocks62]

it is better not to touch the food with your bare hands after cooking and dehydrating to avoid contamination with bacteria, the food stays fresh longer, but besides that i like your video, thanks

[yahmana]

I don't get it, so if it's dehydrated why do you still need to freeze them? can you just keep them in pantry without freezing?

[yahmana]

grab a bag of egg chips and go watch a movie

I never considered preserving eggs.

I preserve everything else by canning or dehydrating and never considered eggs.

Then again, my chickens never allow me to run out of eggs either.

@Tiggerpilot I dont know about Honeyville, I will have to look into it. I often have to make my dehydrated camp/survival foods from scratch because my kids have some food allergies. I have to check into Honeyville, because I would love to save the time. Thanks for the suggestion.

[tanksanatra]

when you dehydrate in an oven , you need to leave the door cracked open just a bit to allow the moisture to escape

[RICKYRASPER]

NEVER put your fingers into eggs you intend to preserve!

While I understand preserving food as a means to economising living costs or to keep a bumper harvest. I do have grave concerns about "hoarding" food when so many people are starving on earth today.
