I have a baking can... It's the same size as a can of beans But has a lid at the top and bottom. It's for making boiled fruit cake. My nana gave it to me when My parents started my glory box. Lol hope chest. Words that aren't used today. I don't think anyone has a glory box any more. Anyways it makes amazing cakes in the shape of a log. Have never used it for a boiled fruit cake. Kind regards..π..cookie

Will keep you posted.... So what did you dehydrate today? Anything interesting. Prawns are interesting to dehydrate, lol Kind regards..ππ..cookie

Hi everyone, So last night before bed I decided to dehydrate some Greek style feta cheese. I sliced it thin, spread it out on the trays equal distance apart and set it going On 50 degrees for 7 hours. Wow oh wow oh wow. It's scrumptiously yummy. I love it. It's crispy and lovely and tasty to chomp or suck. It sort of makes your teeth feel squeaky when you chew it. Defiantly will be repeating the process many times over. Oh and no fat comes out when it's dehydrating....just like craft cheese. Hope you have a go and experiments with it. Kind regards..ππ..cookie

Hi tomatoes, Thank you. That was very nice of you to reply. You your self must know where I'm coming from With the dehydrating side of things. You just don't know if your doing a good job or not. By the way thank you for putting me back onto almond milk. I love it more than ever and with it being so low in calories Hubby and I have both lost 3kg each this week. So thank you. I appreciate it. Kind regards π cookie

Hi everyone, So I have read almost all the dehydrating threads and almost all of the other threads And I can see that what I offer up as information really isn't anything new. I was wondering why no one comments...guess I know now. I won't ramble on any more. Sorry everyone. Cookie

Good morning world. Hi Peter, Yes I already have the buckets. Hubby got them from mitre 10. Bunnings would in deed have been cheaper .. But unfortunately we don't Have a Bunnings. But it's ok. They are food grade buckets. I have 3 sizes. I re bad everything I get from supermarkets as I don't like weevils and unfortunately I have had some bad stuff......the rice was the worst. More weevils than rice.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day. To all the old mums, new mums and soon to be mums Have a glorious day. Kind regards.always..π..cookie

Hey everyone, Yay..they worked a treat...the hard tack biscuits Cookies..crackers are so hard they should be called concussion cookies. Lol They smell great and mine have a lightly golden glow. So now I leave them out to finish drying and then I will Vacuum seal them away..that way no bugs or weevils. So now I am going to make bucket loads of them .lol I am going to try different flavours with them. Maybe add some more protein to them. Hope you have a go. Kind regards. To all..ππ..cookie

Hi everyone, Well I made hard tack today. And it worked out a treat. 4-5 cups of plain flour 2 cups of water 3 tsp salt. Mix it all together into a stiff dough. I cut mine out like scones. Used a skewer to poke holes in them Then baked them at 175 degrees till Rock hard and dry. Then leave them out to finish drying and set for 2 days before Vacuum sealing away..or store in an air tight container or in a bucket..
Looking forward to rehydrating one of them to try. Apparently they will sustain you. I recomend you look at the thread Titled...how long will these last.
Kind regards ..ππ..cookie
