Gooood morning everyoneπ How are you today...(reaches over to have a sip of my cup of tea) So let's see..last night I had really dreadful heart burn. So my question today to you....is HAVE YOU PREPPED YOU QUICK EZE.
I personally would really hate to get stuck In a S H T F situation And not have some. Will be buying 5x5 packs today..just to get started. It can be so debilitating...and did you know it was a stomach ulcer that Killed napoleons....no thanks.....bet he didnt prep his quick eye. Lol
So cheese smelt amazing...I dehydrated some onions in another dehydrator to off set the smell of cheese In my house. It worked. It smelt like cheese and onion dip. Lol very yummy.
Prep with all your heart today..kind regards to all..π..cookie

Just a thought. Lolπ .. When you check something in the dehydrator it's a good idea to take it away From the dehydrator and let it cool. As some things warm will feel soft But need to be cool to snap...like cheese.
Kind regards to all..ππ€.. Cookie

Ok. Lol this is definitely my last one for tonight.
Hi everyone, Sorry silly me I forgot to tell you all about the liquid smoke. I have found two places in Perth Western Australia that sell it. The first is in Coventry village Morley. The chicken butcher stocks it. They also stock Colgins Worcestershire sauce....very nice. The other place which will order it in for you is Ha's fresh fruit and vegetables in midland centre point shopping centre. They also stock the amazing mushroom stock that I love. It really enhances mushroom soup. Takes it to a whole new level. Hope this is helpful. Kind regards..π.. Cookie

And her fav cheese Is mercy valley ploughmans cheese. Ok. Now. Nite nite, π΄ kind regards..π.. Cookie

Hey there ml8300, Lol time wise if you can keep your hands off it Months. I can't actually give you a definite answer on that one. The jerky never lasts in our house...and amazingly enough it doesn't hurt My tummy. Yet cooked meats do. Huh go figure.
I had it sitting in a jar on my counter for about 2 months. That's the longest I was able to keep my son and hubby for out of it. Because it dried. It will last a lot longer. I have it in a couple of my dehydrated Meals and their 2 years old. Still looks great. Still smelt great when I opened one A couple of weeks ago. I used the beef jerky as steak. Hope you like the recipe....very morish. Kind regards to all..π..cookie.. Ps sorry this one isn't so good for your wife. Although maybe tofu jerky. Lol now that one I will have to try out.

Hi everyone, how was your day? Did you get any prepping done? Today I am dehydrating 8x 500g blocks of Kraft cheese. its amazing to dehydrate and so easy. just start on a small box first. slice as close as you can to the same thickness then lay it out on your trays same distance apart. Then set the dehydrator to 70 degrees for 12 hours. i use 12 hours as a base time as you just never know. Dehydrate till it snaps. then you can blitz it in your coffee bean grinder. It will look like Parmesan cheese without the pukie smell. It tastes great..sprinkle it on a tomato sandwich. Use it in a cheese sauce..or don't blitz it and just have it as a snack.
hope you have a lovely evening..kind regards to all..π..cookie

Hi everyone, I was asked to post my beef jerky recipe. hope you like it. We love it. Kind regards to all π cookie beef jerky 1/4 cup soya sauce 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tbsp ground pepper 1/2 tbsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce 2tbsp Colgins liquid smoke mesquite
1 packet of scotch fillet steak....or any steak you like no fat...trim all the fat off the steak. Partially freeze the steak as it makes it easier to slice. then slice into thin ribbons. Mix all ingredients together and marinade steak for 2 hours. Then spread over a fine mesh tray so that their not touching and dehydrate on 70 degrees for 10 to 12 hours. dehydrating time will vary depending on how thick you slice the ribbons. dehydrate till it snaps cleanly.....crispy. the more moisture you leave in it the shorter the life span. once it's dry store in either a zip lock bag...a mason jar...or a air tight container. i didn't keep it in the fridge because it dried it to snapping point. if it's moist you must keep it in the fridge or freezer.
me personally I like the crunchy chew.....or suck depending on how many teeth you have. Lol let me know what you think. It's a little spicy...but not too much. Miss 9yo loves it.
enjoy..kind regards and don't give up..πππ» cookie

Hi tomatoes. I have the sunbeam food lab dehydrator and it's amazing. I run 2 of them all through The cooler months. I love the ease of it all and if you go to red dot you can buy mesh plastic place mats....cut them to size and line your Trays with them. That way the smaller veggies won't fall through. same as the cheap cutting up mats from red dot. They make brilliant mats for dehydrating pastes. I like dehydrating tomato paste. When it's dry I use my bean grinder to turn it into a powder. Brilliant for soups and stews.π . Once again store in a zip lock bag and vacuum seal. I love it. The veggies bag your talking about I reccomend you steam the veggies a little first then dehydrate them. It makes it easier to rehydrate them same as frozen veggies. Put them in a zip lock bag and zap them in the microwave for a couple of minutes then dehydrate them. They re-absorb moisture easier that way. You need to make sure there is no moisture left in them beforeBagging. Depending on the inside Temp of your home if it's really cold it takes a little longer. If it's warm it will take up to 12 hours. Just set it going and leave it. Then store in a zip lock bag and vacuum seal with a vacuuming system. My first lot I didn't dry properly and wow What a mistake that was. But have learnt so much since then. Doing a trip to spuds he'd Morley today. Want more capsicums to dehydrate. Hope this has helped.π
