We'll learn together to do things that help stock our pantries to help prepare our families for life's little and big emergencies, and methods to shop and preserve foods that save us money and time.

How’s your electric bill? I wanna know 😬 does it worth it.?
When our kids were young I would dehydrate fruit for family vacations. I would use canned ring pineapple, sliced apples dipped in the pineapple juice to prevent color changing then sprinkle with cinnamon. Then I would make fruit leathers by throwing a can of fruit cocktail in the blender and smooth the mixture over a solid sheet that came with my machine.
Thanks to You, my grandchildren eat greens all the time-they wouldn't eat them, but we use powder.
I love your channel! I do have a question: have you ever vacuum sealed honey (in the mason jars) to see if it delays crystallization? I have started an experiment comparing the vacuum sealed honey vs regularly sealed honey and have them labelled and stored and wondered if that has already been done and if it helps at all. Sue 🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯🍯 💌💌💌
No, I haven't - let me know your results!
For less mess, I would empty the dry leaves onto a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper rather than into the cutting tray; then bend it like you bent the mesh from the Excalibur to dump them right into the blender jar. Thanks for your great tips.
I like to dehydrate morel mushrooms and grind them up and put them on my button mushrooms as I'm saute them.
Okay well which ones are which which one is the VP Plus
Finally I know why mine always stay soft. I need to slice them thinner and leave them in longer. Thank you so much. I'm going to try some honey in them next time 😊
Hey, is there still a discount available for this machine? Either the 6 or 10 ?
They put their machines on sale every other month - check their website. You can also compare on Amazon - but I have a feeling the next sale will come over Labor Day - and then Black Friday.
What do you think the cost of dehydrating yourself including all the electricity costs vs. buying?
I can't buy the variety that I make, or the quantity. The electric cost is around $30-35/mo to run the machine 24/7 - and dry as much as I can. Definite worth it for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience🎉 its been difficult to find a good dehydrator on a budget. Any suggestions? It seems like they get low reviews and I cannot commit to a HarvestRight at the moment. Thank you. ❤ UPDATE: I can see your promotional products. That answered my question. Sorry. Thank you. 😊
No problem - but remember, Harvest Right isn't a dehydrator - it's a whole different process. Go with Nesco ;)
@@ThePurposefulPantry oh my goodness. Thank you. I know this but it was pre coffee/breakfast time. 😵💫I will check out the Nesco thank you 🤣
You did a very professional job with the reviews. Thank you so very much. It is well needed.
Thank you. I always de-string celery fresh, so why not for dried.
Are mason jars better then vacuum sealed bags?
Neither are better than the other - it's what works best for you. I prefer glass because I can see it which is what my brain needs.
weird question-have you ever made a garlic, onion and mushroom powder mix? I am wondering because I make a lot of beef dishes that i would like to make a powder for an au jus/ gravy type mix for.
Do it. I have a lot of different varieties of spice blends like that, and if you use those separately all the time, blend them! My umami mushroom seasoning is that plus thyme.
I’d like to know how to make the fried banana chips 😋
Just getting into dehydration for our homestead, glad I ran across your videos. Have not done it yet but think one of my first will be roasted Hatch green chilies as chunks and a powder; have green chile powder instead of the store red.
I adore you 🙏💚🤗
Darcy, thank you so much for your videos. They are so useful for me as a beginner in dehydrating. In this Video at minute 4:50 there´s a note for a Ranch Seasoning mix. I can't find the link. Could you please help me? Me and my daughter love Ranch Dressing but we live in germany and a bottle of it is really expensive. As well the Seasoning mix packages. I`d like to try your recipe, because since I watch your videos I trust in what you do. Lovely greetings from Bavaria, Germany Gisela
Here you go: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-dehydrate-english-cucumbers/ It's not a printable recipe, yet, though that will come soon, but it's a cucumber ranch dressing mix - you can leave out the cucumber if you don't want it.
Today, at a school supply giveaway event, I was also given a big box of food, including a crate of mangoes. They're already overripe, and a few are even totally rotted on the inside, unfortunately, so I'm dehydrating what I can to make them last longer. The ones that are still edible are amazingly sweet, though, and I'm thinking of pureeing some into fruit leather. I also got a bunch of tomatillos, so I'll probably make some salsa verde for the first time. 😋 A whole bag of avocados and 3 packages of sliced mushrooms I'll probably dehydrate, too. I'm excited 😊
The avocado won't be worth dehydrating, but you can freeze it! www.thepurposefulpantry.com/preserve-avocado/
Thanks, I will probably freeze some mashed for guacamole and avocado toast. 😋 Do you think it will last more than 8 months if I decide to use some for baby food in the future?
I just harvested the apples off my tree outside, and I'm cutting them and watching dehydrating videos. This will be my first go at using a dehydrator. This is one of the best vids I've seen on the subject so far.
Have fun with it!!
How long will these last in Mylar bags that are vacuum sealed with an oxygen absorber and a desiccant packet?
You don't use both desiccant packs and O2 absorbers. They last a couple of years....optimally - anything you might get after that is bonus.
Can you dehydrate creamed soups (such as cream of mushroom) and powder them?
No- fats
Hi, I was wondering if it's okay to dehydrate foods on the porch in extremely humid weather?
Sure - it just takes longer
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks. I'm learning a lot from you. Especially to keep drying. I'm drying a bunch of hot peppers right now and thought they might be done last night before bed, but his morning, they were still pliable, so I put them back in. I also didn't know about conditioning.
I put carrot powder and sometimes green powder in my pasta sauce..yum
Appreciate this video & all of the info provided! You really are the dehydrating bff!!
I agree on the apples, I always peel them before dehydrating, we don't like the skins if we use them in pies, fritters, turnovers etc.
