Why hang out with US military food scientists when there are food scientists in Canada, where he is from, working on similar problems for military, space, and civilian applications. Of course the point of the video wasn't to come up with a version of pizza that's capable of being freeze dried. The point was to take their favourite take away food and try to freeze dry it with the hope that they could reconstitute it successfully.

If you microwave food (especially ones prone to getting dry and chewy) use a small dish of warm water NEXT to the dish containing food in the microwave. The steam in the air helps a huge amount. Secret for cooking great and moist cakes, cookies and muffins/cupcakes in the oven; do the same thing putting the small hot water dish in a low level tray of the oven way below the food tray level, the steam makes a perfect and moist result (taught to me by a passionate, big name donut consultant).

i mean, if i was eating something that you usually eat with a spoon and i needed to cut it for some reason, i would probably not reach for a spork.

Great video! Would be awesome to see you revisit this concept with other techniques!

My understanding is that flash freezing the food very quickly keeps the ice crystals small so they don't grow much and puncture the cell walls like slower freezing does. This is supposedly very important to keep the food from rehydrating into mush. If trying this again, I would suggest weighing the food before going through the process, then weighing again before rehydrating in order to know exactly how much boiling water to add. It would also be interesting to see what happens with uncooked/unprocessed food.

Here is a thought. Measure the weight of each item before and after freeze drying, then you will be able to calculate how much water is needed to rehydrate. Smaller chunks rehydrate better. Separate the rice and other items so you can rehydrate separately. I am interested in freeze dried foods because of backpacking.

Additional change that could help with the rehydration step: Since adding heat cooks the food, you could use a piezoelectric transducer to create a fog without any heat, allowing you to reintroduce moisture without cooking the food.

When I was working in kitchens we used to concentrate the flavours of certain foods such as watermelon and cucumber by vacuuming it which served to ‘force’ the juices back into the food after breaking down the cells. I wonder if there’s a machine that will allow you to do this whilst introducing a water vapour

@@lilganja1337 I would wonder tho if you would have to do each part of the food separately. the pepperoni, cheese, crust and sauce all would have different moisture levels. would they absorb back just what they had, or would it be evenly distributed, leaving parts too moist, and parts too dry?

I "got to" try it once. I'd put it only slightly above the Vomelette. If the cases haven't been rat effed, I'll take the Jalapeno Pepper Jack Beef Patty, Beef Ravioli or, if I want the better snacks Cheese Tortellini. The Mexican rice is tolerable too and helps with the Meals Refusing to Exit issue.

Generally, when reconstituting freeze dried food, you want to weigh the food before and after the drying process and add that much water back, usually by pouring hot water over the food and letting it stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Reconstitution also works better on smaller pieces or powderized food, as the water is able to penetrate faster and allows for more even hydration.

@sootikins

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. And trying to reconstitute several things together (meat and rice) is destined to fail because one requires more water than the other (thus the before & after weighing you described). Pizza is probably hopeless because of this - soggy crust, partially rehydrated pepperoni, etc. Also I won't even get into what a ghetto freeze drying cycle he ran. No temperature control much less temperature ramping, etc.

I thought something you might want to consider is weighing the food before and after to know the amount of moisture that was lost in the process. That way, when rehydrating it, you won't do so with too much or too little water. Sorry if someone has already suggested this.
