Amazing, I think that sums up your channel. No Um's, Ah's or other fillers. You talk and move at about twice the speed of everyone else, but very easy to understand, without waffling. I don't know when, but once you get noticed you are going to be a big hit. I don't know what you do for a job, but if it's not sales or training think about a career change. I will be passing your channel onto friends. Please keep the videos coming. Thank You!

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I think a lot of it is just doing my other channel for a long time and realizing that people won’t sit and watch if you don’t keep it moving 😂. This is actually my second channel, I loved freeze drying so much but it didn’t quite fit with my other stuff so I started this one! But yes, I am actually a “senior training specialist” at my day job, nice call!

I rarely comment on most freeze dry channels (even when KZread puts them in front of me) but once in a while I'll watch and comment on one . . . We've been freeze drying for over six years. When freeze drying foods the machine is only removing the water - so when adding the water back in, the foods are being rehydrated. ( Concentrated orange juice is reconstituted) 😂 And remember . . . the machine can never know when things are done . . . many types of foods can fool the machines like crazy. Infrared cameras can't tell you if something is totally dry, nor can Infrared thermometers, nor any type of moisture meter - especially not the wood moisture meters that a lot of freeze drying people try to tell others to use. There are going to be many very unhappy people a few years from now when they open their freeze dried food containers and find out it wasn't dry after all. We have already heard this from quite a few people. The Only way we have found that is allways sure is to do weight checks . . . if the food is still losing weight ( even a gram) it is Not dry. Keep on freeze drying and having Fun. But remember - it's addictive. 🙂

The available dividers are great for this type of food. Makes for even portions and easier bagging

Loved your “singing “! 😂😂😂😂 great video. Love your straight to the point style, not long and drawn out. Will subscribe. 😊 z also love that you show the taste test

these always make me so hungry bro keep it up

I love it with the potato skin is left on

Nice... super cool thanks!

Curious, how much does it cost to run a Freeze Dryer for 50 hours, to dry those potatoes?

I'm going to watch this video and make mashed potatoes!

I’d suggest maybe not loading the trays quite as much. Know the capacity of your freeze dryer and don’t go over it. As the ice gets thicker on the wall of your freeze dryer, that ice on the surface is not as cold as the ice closer to the metal walls. The freeze dryer is more efficient the colder the ice is. I once had a batch of food that I overloaded and the freeze dryer seemed like it was stuck. So I took the trays out, stored in freezer, defrosted the freeze dryer, put the trays back in and the food was finished very quickly.

Just an FYI The corelle bowl that your eating out of has lead paint on it according to the corelle website.

I’m curious if it’s like expensive when it comes to electricity? I wanna buy one so bad!

What About like Hamburgers Helper left overs?? And Pizzas? Sorry for Questions

@WhitepepperFarm

6 ай бұрын

No need to apologize! Hamburger helper would be super easy! With pizza the texture would change a bit but if you steamed it rather than just add water to it, it would probably rehydrate well enough to still be good! Bread like that is a little tough to get right. Biscuits and gravy do great though, weirdly enough!

Next up: sweet potatoes and yams

We are growing a bed of sweet potatoes this year so hopefully we get enough for that! If not.. we will get some from some of the local farms!

Afiyet olsun efendim 🌹❤️

How much power does the dehydrator use?

A rolling pin would be perfect!

Maybe a flat egg turner to smooth eggs flat so you wouldn’t have sharp edges to punch thru your Mylar bag How many trays you have out of 50 lbs? God bless 🙏🙏🙏

That’s not a terrible idea at all! We ended up filling 10 of the medium trays but we ate a lot for dinner, kept some to eat the next couple days, and still had about 7 potatoes left in the bag to cook that week so we didn’t freeze dry the entire 50lbs. Definitely gave us a ton of mashed potatoes to work with over the winter though, we used some just the other day!

I usually take tactical foodpacks on my hikes but now I’m thinking about getting one freezdryer and make my own food with it is there any downside to doing it your own other than time investment ?

@WhitepepperFarm

2 ай бұрын

Investment is the biggest downside. If you try doing your own meals not following a recipe you’ll need to experiment with different rehydration techniques and rates, but thats half the fun! But there’s tons of videos of really good recipes people have already made!

If Not can The Dairy Product be Freezed Dryed separately?

Could you do more videos please

I’m 37 and hate the skins on lol

Can you freeze dry butter and cream/milk? I'm curious about that

This is probably how storebought milk powder is made, so it will probably work great

what is the electrical cost to freeze dry your 50 lbs of spuds for the time you are processing to finished product?

Can it be Freeze Dry with Eggs/ Milk/ Butter?

@WhitepepperFarm

Yes it can! We kept it simple just so we could change it up and make it how we want depending on the meal we are eating, but you can just freeze dry it that way, absolutely!

There is more pesticide in vegetable skins than in the flesh. Peeling is recommended.

Potato can be grown in organic soil that has not been contaminated by pesticides. Soil can also be tested to verify that.

We grow a lot of our own herbs and vegetables, including potatoes, without using pesticides... much cheaper than buying organic at the market.

Never use an electric beater on potatoes. It turns them into wallpaper paste, bringing out all the starch and ruining the potato texture.

Nobody over 12? Maybe its a cultural thing but leaving the skins on is weird!
