 Hey everyone, Shaber1000 here. Today we're going to be checking this magic mill food dehydrator out because Monke and I have a camping trip coming up so I'm going to dehydrate some homemade noodles I made for Christmas. So let's open this up let's see what's in it and then we're going to try it out. Okay so let's go ahead and open this up. We're going to have our last adventure of 2023. Right Monke? We're going whole hog huh? This knife could use a sharpening but it's tiny look at that. It's got initials on it. It's in it's written kind of fancy. LMB I don't know. I've got a bunch of knives. LMB it's got like a nail file on it the nail file and two blades this this is a little screwdriver little straight screwdriver so all right now let's open the bottom so I can just show this out through. So Monke would you give for Christmas? Yes I got her one of those light and marquee signs she's been wanting one since I got mine so I got her one. Actually Berna got it for her but what else did you get? She got a projector. Guys I got her a projector so funny story about that Christmas Eve when we was having our live stream Kenny he had mentioned he's going to be getting one for when he goes camping and stuff to watch scary movies on when he's out in the woods. I wanted somebody to tell him you know funny you should mention that because I just got monkey one so but I couldn't say anything so this must be the unit candy dish this must be the trays you guys didn't say you should check out the video where this was an early Christmas present for Monke to me if you didn't see that video well water you just now open because I wanted to wait till after Christmas because this she ordered that through Amazon and didn't put it's a gift she didn't check that box it's a gift so they just sent it just like that as you can see UPS brought it and there's virtually no damage if that was you if that was FedEx none of this would have survived so it was a surprise because she wasn't here UPS came I just went out and grabbed it I was like oh somebody said me something I get to look and it had her name on it and we've been talking about getting one for a couple years to make stuff for camping you know ready deep meals for camping and I was like oh so I sent her I said are you expecting something expecting a package she said yes I said what is it and she said none you she said why I said oh well that kind of sucks and she said why and I just shot her out a picture of it she goes oh no well Merry Christmas now this is gonna take like 12 hours to making homemade noodles like I said so we're not gonna be able to try the noodles out till our camping trip which is tomorrow now I'm wondering if because noodles and stuff like that I mean you know this is open so am I gonna have to put like parchment paper down because it'll grain through and these I guess huh and these I guess there was some way you can flip these and make it more height for thicker stuff we're also gonna be making a lot of beef jerky with this huh because there's the lid so different books in here somewhere but here's the unit it's not as big as it looks and that's fine with us because we didn't want one of the huge ones digital readout that's fine with me need a huge one it takes up 10 inch couch space so we do have a book here or the trailer agreement all limited warranty here's the book so I will be looking at this book before we go any further reading over it yeah if I remember a flip these around one way or another and it gives you more space in between so but let me let me read over my book then we'll get some noodles out we'll put in here but like I said it's I mean it's open I don't want all my juice going down in there so how am I going to do that like I said maybe put parchment parchment paper in there or something so let me read up on this and then I'll explain to you a little more about it as soon as I find out so hang tight okay so this is what I use parchment paper and I cut the hole a little bit around here in the sizes the sizes okay the sides made them a little smaller so the air can get down into the other layers so I'm going to make up a few more of these this is a six tray so I'm going to make up my make up five more I'm just going to use this as a template and then we'll get on to dehydrating our noodles okay guys this is what I come up with this is the front facing me so I cut four of these all together and I'll show you one I'll speed you up while I'm putting it on here they say if you have food that's already heated up it doesn't take as long so I just heated this up a little bit it's warm but it's not hot so I'm going to use this little ice cream scooper here I'm going to put it around here what I'm going to do I'm going to set this and I'm going to set it I don't know maybe eight hours and I'm going to check it every hour every hour like I'll pull this bottom one and put it on the top and that way by the time it gets done they should be equally dried out I've never had one oops I'm making a mess I've never had one of these never used one I just always used an oven or like the like I would use a grill or you know barbecue grill for making my my beef jerky you can buy these things too we was looking at them online they have hundreds of them not just this company but I mean you can get them there's all different kinds round square and their their silicone so you can cut them to fit whatever you want so they're reusable also these trays and we don't have one but well I have one it's called monkey these trays they're stainless steel you can put the trays in in a dishwasher so I figure by the time this gets dehydrated it's probably going to yield maybe you know one serving one one cup I don't know we'll have to see per you know per layer so this is what I'm going to do I guess I didn't speed you up but now I'm going to go ahead and do this on the other ones and and save you from that because you already seen this one I've got them cut I just use this as kind of like a template and like I said I cut it a little bit bigger around here and smaller around the edges so the air the hot air can get down to the bottom because it comes up through the center and then goes back down to the bottom so I'm going to do the rest of these and then we'll then we'll turn it on see how how loud this is going to be just like this and we'll get another one of my parchment papers out here I put a little dot on these right there's the dot on the front part so yeah that's what we're going to do and I'll be back with you when we get ready to turn this on we'll find out how loud it is now if you guys want more height in between here all you have to do is pick it up turn it 180 degrees and now you have more height here I'll bend you down bend you down I'll bring you down here a little bit lower so you can see the difference can see the difference in the height here let me zoom in a little bit now watch when I raise this one and I turn it see how close that is now if I turn it again there it is it sets up higher and it's done with these little legs right here if you have them one way they'll go down inside here and if you have them the other way they set up on top so there's on each side there's different so that's pretty cool but I'm gonna have them like that now let's go ahead let me back you out here I got my things a mess not this but turn me this way I'm gonna put our lid on I'm not gonna put the other train in I don't think there's a need for it okay see that's real close now if I turn it 180 degrees it's not as close so let's go ahead Christmas light well they're everyday lights actually there we go now this is time and temp this is starting stop so okay there's 158 degrees let's let's go 150 degrees and the time let's go with let's go with six hours now I'm gonna hit the start button that is very quiet guys I mean very quiet the microwave is louder than that all right so every hour say it's 150 degrees every hour I'm gonna take the bottom one move it on top and then the top you know what I mean and then the second layer will now be on bottom vice versa or not vice versa but and so on so every hour I'll just take the bottom one put on the top and I'm gonna do that until they have all been so which should be about my six hour point and well but we'll check them every hour I'll kick you on every hour and we'll see how it's doing so stick around guys also I don't know if I was recording that but I might make some beef jerky tonight to take with us I'm really it's the same thing only I'm not gonna be using parchment paper it'll set right on the on the rack itself so I'm gonna do is make it just a teriyaki jerky and I'm just gonna let it set a couple hours I'm not gonna do the 12 hours because like I said in the video where I made it before I've tasted it at after it's marinated for 12 hours and I've tasted it after marinating for only one to two hours and I couldn't tell a difference some people can't some people pilots some people's pilots are or more sensitive to others but I couldn't tell a difference and monkey couldn't tell a difference because I only did that one an hour or two but that's all I'm going to do tonight that way we can have our stuff ready by tomorrow I mean I got time but you know so this will be done and I'm gonna make up a couple pound of that well out of a couple pound of bottom round and so I'm not sure how much that's gonna want to yield I can't remember but it'll be a good snack I know the last last time I made it I made it in the oven and only literally I had one piece to try and I had like two or three after that her mom and her monkey and her mom ate the rest of like excuse me it's like oh my gosh you can make turkey jerky in here we do have turkey I made a turkey and ham this year so I've never made turkey jerky I don't remember I don't recall I may have or been with somebody that has but I don't remember it so I may think about that but not tonight because this is gonna be a lot of fun we're gonna do a lot of chef she bear videos with this thing so I can feel the heat awesome alright guys all see you in an hour okay it's been an hour and there's what we're looking at here starting to dry out good so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take top four off by the top three and I'm gonna put the bottom one on the top just like that I'm gonna put it back on now we're gonna go for another hour okay I took it off so it shuts it off so let's do we had okay we're leaving in 158 let's go we had it on six hours let's go five hours and start it there we go seeing another hour okay so let's check it one more time alright it's drying out nicely so I'm gonna switch it again set this on top we got four more hours well a little less than four hours to go but if it needs more I'll give it more so you get the idea I'm gonna do this every hour we got three hours 54 minutes left so I'm gonna keep keep doing this and then I'll let you know when it's done and exactly how many hours it took okay guys I think we're done I got about nine and a half hours on this nice I'm gonna let this cool down I'm gonna break it up and put it in a Ziploc baggie but first I have a little bowl here I'm just gonna break some of this off I have some water already heated up over there I think I might let it go because it's gonna be eaten up tomorrow so I think next time I might let it go 10 hours I did bump it up after the first hour to it's high setting at 158 so let me get the water it's right over there and a spoon and let's see what this gonna taste like okay so I don't know how much water to put in the stuff to make it rehydrate that might even be too much but it's trial and error you know the first time you do something so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna set this on top of here and let it set for four or five minutes and I'll burn you back we'll give this a taste I know it's not gonna taste as good as you know the right out of the pan homemade but I'm sure it's still want to be good so I'm gonna go ahead and start bagging this up too while we're waiting okay guys so this is what we ended up with by looking at it man you might be able to tell smells like homemade let's see what the flavors gonna be like now what I did was I went I went ahead and I boiled it up for time because there's something else I want to do in there it's almost 130 now I googled this and a couple people had said that to go 10 to 12 hours on this stuff we got about nine hours in it or nine and a half hours so but they said to make that's if you want to keep it for a long time you can go 8 to 10 hours if you're going to eat it like the next day or the next couple days so let's try this out still nice and hot it's very good could you trick somebody possibly I think I could tell it was homemade but I I do think I can tell that it was dehydrated and then rehydrated but as far as a flavor it tastes fine now once that's pretty damn good now once the where they got to where I could flip them I went ahead and I took the parchment paper out I flipped them and or took the parchment paper out and then flipped them over I did that at about seven hours in this thing so quiet we can't hear it in the bedroom the exhaust fans louder than that on low so yes it's very quiet we got this I did put a couple more pieces back in there for a few more minutes just to be safe other than that I think we're good because we're going to eat these tomorrow so what we'll do is we're going to go ahead and get the baggies those little silver pouches maybe later on I'll get a vacuum sealer that way it could last pretty much indefinitely and of course we'll get the silica packets put in there keep moisture out I think we're good to go I can't wait to try it on spaghetti chili and beef stew right on so I'll show you what I'm going to do next with this oh yeah that's right beef jerky time now the book that came with this says five hours at its highest setting which is 158 degrees so we're just going to go ahead and set that right now this is I've been kind of nibbling on this and man it's everybody take is even better than the last so let's go ahead and set this we're going to set it at five hours whoops five hours 158 degrees start there we go of course I will come out and check on it sweating I am hot I will come out and check on it in a couple hours move them around a little bit and see how they're doing but that you're going to have to wait till the next video which I won't have the next video until video up until Friday so so you have to wait till Friday I'm sorry but yeah we'll find out how this tastes like I said I made it in the oven before I just made a quick teriyaki so they've been marinating for what about six hours so should be alright alright guys thanks for watching I appreciate it she bear the myth man legend gone for now and I won't say monkey thank you for the early Christmas present even though I didn't open it till today well I knew what it was but I didn't open the box so it's been a running joke since this thing came in I wonder what I put it under the tree I was like wonder what's in that box she'd like funny but so anyway there we go guys I'm gonna let this do its thing I'm gonna finish my noodles I see in the next one bye bye guys take care oh two thumbs up so far I'll have to let you know later on how long
