- While living off grid, kitchen appliances will have to be different. Having a limited amount of solar power brings the opportunity to utilize a few appliances while cooking.

Hey, I noticed you are canning beans.
My canning info says not to can beans.
So my question is how long is required????
I hope you understand what I'm asking.
Is it 1.5 hours like meat? longer? or less.
First my mom canned fruits when I was young.
And for a couple years. I kept sitting on the fence. I have 3 pressure cookers.
This past winter I finally started canning.
And found out also that I can finally cook beans with a pressure cooker.
However, I'd like to cook up a lot of beans and can them. Since its time consuming.
FYI I have been trying to cook beans for over 20 years. lol. Never getting them right.
But now I can finally cook them.
I was going to try soon. To can them anyway.
But since I seen you doing it. Though it would be good to ask you the time required.
Oh I should introduce myself. look at this thread next comment.
Hello. I'm a 15 year plus off gridder.
I'm 55 years old.
I'm retired Army. And have been doing most this my whole life. Yeap even most my years in the Army I was raising livestock and stuff.
I now own 640 acres with my cabin in Southern New Mexico.
My water is by rain catch.
And I set on a small pocket of crude oil that's all mine. roughly 2 million gallons. Too small for any oil company.
My rain is only about 2 hours in a year..
I use lead acid Deep cycle marine batteries in my solar system because they can be rebuilt.
I use oil, propane for heat and cooking
I also use a solar oven.
I also have a big dehydration system. Powder by wind and sun ( the old fashioned way) There isn't much I haven't dehydrated.
I would be happy to share how to do a off grid no power free dry method. That I learned. And would like for someone to make a video on it. I learned it by mistake and works with fruits and vegetables.
I'm looking into a stand alone single burner electric stove and toaster oven. That will be powdered by solar. ( 120v with invertor) Because I forsee propane and other fuels going up a lot more.
And I can only get 1 quart of crude at a time. in a old fashion wish well type operation. And its 400 feet of winding rope each time.
There is more. its just not coming to me at the time.
I did notice you all been doing this for 10 years. So you are not new to this.
Maybe we can share experience.
I will be looking over your videos for new ideas and other ways of doing things. I'm always open to learning. Even if it a different way.
Had to come and watch this sweet lady.. just watched the memorial.. hope the children and family can find these clips a blessing in the future.. it's easy to see her warm heart.
Wonderful vblog, I too am going back, having discovered their site in middle of her battle .
Throughly enjoyed her explaining her kitchen ,new & old equipment & methods
@Bill Rayvan an illness..

@Bill Rayvan... an aggressive form of cancer
I think i see a swollen area on our right, her left upper clavicle area.....
Having Jamie's video pop up, reminds me of how much I enjoyed her videos. I can't wait to meet her in eternity. Blessing to An American Homestead Family.
Discovered her after her death.
When I was living offgrid, I had a common whisk, that the handle came off. Rather than throw it out, I charged up my clean, battery powered, Makita drill and inserted the now all metal whisk, into the drill slots, put it on low speed and had a battery powered kitchen mixer! Could whip eggwhites, batter breads and whipped cream easily!

BRILLIANT!!!
Such a beautiful kitchen for a such a beautiful, sweet soul. I wish I had known her while she was here with us. I'm going to go back to watch her videos and learn from this lovely woman with the most beautiful smile.

I cant watch a Jaimie video and not cry at some point. I'm so glad I can still turn to her here on youtube for ideas for caring for my family better. Still Praying for you and the boys Zach! Yah Bless.
THANK YOU! I love watching her. Its all I have left.
@@Anamericanhomesteadthis is the first video that I have seen of your wife. I was looking for something else on your channel and then I saw this and I really enjoyed this video!
Now I am going to go look for more of them.
God bless you and the boys!
@@mycabinlife1291 thank you. I still miss her more than words can describe.
@@Anamericanhomestead I can only imagine and pray for you. Is there a way to specifically look up her videos?
@@mycabinlife1291 she has her own Playlist or you can watch them at our website. She has her own section there too
I had to watch this again . Jaime was so good at explaining and just very cool in what I learned
We miss you Jamie 💔
ROTO-Q 360 : The Non-Electric Rotisserie Cooking Machine: roto-q-360-the-non-electric.kckb.st/42483f85
You really look like a lovely angel in that white blouse.....gods will is his will....
But you are still so inspiring....so calm.....you had quality life......i pray for your family.....
I had to come watch you again Jamie, your videos gave me so much confidence in myself that I could preserve and live simply no matter where I lived. What a blessing you were. RIP my favorite homesteader .
I miss her, too she was just the very sweetest person. Do you know what happened with her parents? I don't watch this channel anymore, since Jaime is gone and her parents are apparently not around anymore.
You can cook anything in cast iron. It only gets rusty if you don't keep it seasoned. Use salt as an abrasive to clean it. When it's clean put it on a burner on the stove and heat it up to evaporate the water. Let it cool down and oil it with cooking oil.
I agree! I have used cast iron exclusively for over 30 years and have never had a problem unless it’s not cared for properly. I’ve tried the enamel coated ones and am not fond of them at all. I find that the food sticks easily and eventually the enamel chips, cracks and stains.
depends on where you live. i season mine and use it almost daily and my rusts still. i live in a yurt in Hawaii.

I didnt get to watch when she was living. I just within the last year found these videos and New2Torah. Man this lady is amazing ! She is amazingly sweet. Watching her videos helps me see that I can do this too. She takes rhe intimidation out off of off griding. ❤
Hello from TN! I was raised as you live now! Dutch oven cooking is great! Cornmeal fritters in a cast iron skillet!! I still have most of my Mothers iron skillets, I have 2 Sisters, we shared! I can still make coffee in a percolator! But use an electric coffeemaker! Unless the power is off!
We didn't have indoor water until I was 15/16 years old! I'm 67 now. Outside toilet until the same age. I guess we were "poor", but I'm glad I was raised that way! Blessed by GOD! I can cook on a campfire just about as good as on a stove, although I don't have to!! I wish I had a treadle sewing machine! Life would be complete!
Awesome!! Iwas raised the same way and like you said "Guess we were poor" but the thing of it is I didn't know I was "poor"! God bless you!!!
@@lindaoehlke8942 Thank you! I thought it was funny that people were going back to the way we lived. I find the "Prepping" people are just discovering what a few of us have known about for most of our lives! I sort of feel like I have one foot in the past and one foot towards the future! It would be startling if the grid went down, but I feel that in a few days I'd be used to being without electricity. Not as convenient, but doable!
I have a root cellar, fruit trees, nut trees, berries and more! I come from a long line of herbalists. Nature provides! I keep honeybees, chickens and rabbits. I think I'd like goats and pigs! I'm getting older, but not giving up! I will have a small greenhouse by spring! I have regular grapes, but I just received my Muscadine grapes the other day!! I have to get them planted!!
Bee blessed
@@ritamccartt-kordon283 Have done a lot of what you are doing, but was in a car accident so I am now limited to what I can do and I miss doing all that kind of stuff!! But so nice to hear from someone who gets to do it!! I still can take care of the putting up of the produce we get but need someone to help (my hubby) bring it in, weed, dig, pull weeds etc. My favorite of all was doing the chickens = I LOVE chickens but can't do that anymore either. I miss it and enjoy hearing from you - puts me in touch with one who likes to do the same things. My kids have all asked me when I am going to quit and I tell them when I am home with the Lord that's when I will quit. They think I am old. I tell them just getting older - 72!! Just aging one day ata time same as they are!!
Try electric percolaters. When my die hard Mr. Coffee insistant hubby had yet another in his lifetime quit...I ended up researching electric percolaters. Inexpensive to operate. Very simple machines to easily clean. And the coffee smells like good ol' 'roadhouse coffee'. My hubby found one in a big box store on discount as it was missing the bottom part to sit the unit on. We used a stone like hotpad. Worked out nicely. My stubborn hubby was instantly converted. Used less energy and also less coffee grounds than the tanker mr.coffee. The unit shuts off immediately after it's percolation.
My mother had cast iron skillet which she used daily. She stated cooking in them added iron to your diet. Stove top perculators, coffee and grain grinders mills can still be purchased along with a hand driven blender.
I sometimes wonder why these younger people just simple ask for advice from the older generation...they wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.
Tip: clean your enamel Dutch oven with dollar store denture tablets. You may have to repeat(use 3-5 at a time) but it works well.
@AnAmericanHomestead
Amazing
I buy denture tablets at the dollar store for: vases, anything enamel, toilets, glass coffee pots.
Mel Rey oh. I didn’t know that. Thanks.
Or sodium percarbonate (oxygen bleach in powder form) would work well too
So many ways to do things! People are waking up

I must say I'm really glad to see you guys again. We're working towards solar on our Homestead and it's definitely a work in progress
Such a great video and great lady.
What a wonderful presentation. My wife and I are currently decreasing the electrical use in our homestead and are just about ready to cut the dependence on the grid and use exclusively our energy the solar power panels provide and propane gas. I might add, We will surely miss your lovely wife. My condolences.
I live off grid. I don't use much electricity. I don't use a microwave oven either. I use a camp toaster for for toast. I use a pressure cooker. I love your videos.
I can't believe how similar our kitchen uses are~we also live off grid, but we don't have solar, but in the evening run a generator. I use the same 3 electric items when needed using the generator. I also use a 'hay box' to cook like a slowcooker and I use the wood stove for cooking and for drying things. I really enjoyed this video~

Hello from Northern Australia! I use my crockpot insert in my solar oven. I removed the plastic knob off the lid so it doesn't melt. Sure, it takes longer for the insert to heat up but I just leave it in the solar oven all day and it has worked out perfect every time. My solar oven has been a very good investment.
I got rid of the thin glass and plastic added lid to my crockpot. Went to the thrift store, after measuring the size...a bit to large like 1/4 or 1/2 inch and a cranberry colored lid,, doesn't have a vent hole like the other cheapy lids which for me is useless. I figure the heavier lid is more energy efficient.
A few years ago we cooked all of our meals in Michigan during the month of April in our Solar oven. Back then I used a 60 30 solar oven like the type Maria Telkes of MIT developed outside but recently I got a vacuum tube solar concentrator and found I could actually cook inside the house with my solar oven on a sunny day.

What a lovely lady she is. I'm praying for you and your children. I can't imagine the gravity of your loss. I'm going to check out her other videos. God bless you. He is with you dear one.
Immersion blenders make great smoothies and it’s quicker if you are doing more than one. Put ingredients into Mason Jars (wide mouth) and immerse the blender into each one. I would not be surprised if it would not use less power than the bullet for multiple smoothies.
My tiny cabin is all-electric but I don't have a stove. I use my toaster/conventional oven, woodstove, and outside fire, and sun to do all my cooking and water heating needs. A hand pump for water and bucket compost toliet. French press for coffee and love my immersion blender. I still get by with minimal electrical needs.
So cute.
Off grid living is all about a positive attitude
It is also gratifying to live a simpler life style using your brain.
I watch Jamie over and over....I love her and miss her❤️
Magic bullet, you can get a shaker jar with a ball spring, for smoothes.
What a lessón for us all. In just one yr...Everything as you know it can change...our whole world can be lost. Im so very sad for her family, sad she had to endure this horrible disease. Wasnt she lovely! Just sweet kind beautiful...
Love to watch your videos Jamie. You have such a calming nature, it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Love the kitchen, laundry, cooking, and gardening, and processing and storing food videos. Thanks
Ive got the same coffee setup. If you throw some coconut oil in the pan with a thick slice of sweet bread, then top off with a little evaporated milk and cinnamon, its like stovetop bread pudding.. Yummy.
ROTO-Q 360 : The Non-Electric Rotisserie Cooking Machine: roto-q-360-the-non-electric.kckb.st/42483f85
This is the EXACT video I was looking for!
Great video, Jamie it's great to see you getting more comfortable in the videos..this one was informative and cool to see..thank you for sharing.. I'm also a huge fan of your outdoor kitchen and pizza oven Zack and your dad built!! So glad y'all are sharing videos on CZcams again!!!
great video. something else that works well with a dutch oven is, put your small dutch oven in a preheated larger one. it works just like an electric slow cooker. have a great day
You are truely blessed. Thank you for sharing the possibilities.
We are 2 generations past remembering how things like toast were made before electricity. Thanks for reminding us that there is a better, simpler way.
My instant pot will always be my #1 electrical appliance. It does so much more than pressure cooking. I got rid of my yogurt maker, steamer, slow cooker, and electric roaster. My instant pot does all these things, and when it's hot, I take it to cook outside so my kitchen stays cooler.
Like u I love my insta pot. I have 2- 3 qt. I use 1 daily for steamed or pressured GREEN veggies cooking at 1 minute with a quick release. Also have a 4 qt, 6 qt & 8qt. St. Patrick's day ex: 1 pot for corn beef, 1 pot for potatoes, 1pot for cabbage. I for cooking 30 hard boiled egg at a time. Makes food prep and clean up easy.
So glad you're back! Great video!
Oh my goodness, as this is my first time watching you, when i saw the hand pump at the sink I was instantly transported back my grandparents kitchen. She had the pump at the sink. We use to visit every summer and the summer of 74 was huge as that was the year they got an indoor washroom.
Good to see you enjoying these things, like a blender, and stuff people might forget are kind of special and fun. Living in the woods kind of, things like blenders, toasters, coffee makers are more fun, something like play, when they are known as not so necessary. Me and Dad, we used the coffee drip cone, and liked the electric coffee maker too. My Dad was so happy to get a toaster. He got a blender when we finally could get a blender, and he made good stuff with it. These are meaningful to us, to me, meaning we are together, signs of Love and beloved. Whatever you have or don’t have, life is wonderful when there’s the one you Love.
Thanks for your happy disposition, and information.
So much awesome info, thank you Jamie RIP dear angle.
Met your wife today in this video. Such a sweet sweet lady, full of grace and beauty.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We are transitioning to being completely off grid, and you touched on some things I was curious about, especially the crock pot!
Such helpful tips ! Thank you ! I have never wanted to hug someone through a screen before ! She is just adorable ☺️
Your article in Torah Sisters was very inspirational and Spiritually practical. Thank you for sharing your faith.
Great, great video Jamie. So glad you guys are back on CZcams. Big ole thumbs up on this video! LOL
I love your kitchen!
Welcome back to CZcams. We have missed you. Sorry can’t go to other platforms cannot afford it but CZcams is where we like to watch you. Keep up the good work. Keep living the dream. God bless
This video was fabulous! I love watching and learning from you in the kitchen. So wonderful seeing you again. Please make more video, you are great! Hugs❤️
New sub from Elizabeth City NC. I've been fully off grid for close to 2 years now. Can't afford electricity or running water. I cook and heat using bottled gas, and bring in water for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and toilet use. It's really liberating to know how to go about doing things like preparing meats and veggies so they keep without refrigeration. Through other channels, and locals, I've even learned how to make mayo that will keep for close to 2 months without having to use refrigeration. During the summer months, I've even made a permanent rocket stove outside so as to not heat up the house. Thank you for your time and consideration.
So glad to see you guys on here again. Love your videos!
thank you. good to see you again
So happy to see you again!!!
What a blessing you are.
Jamie, you explain things so clear and consise . Thank you and Zak for producing such good quality in your videos . Courage, Barbara in Maine
I use the coffee sieve too! I found a metal sieve that fits into the funnel so I'm not having to buy filters. Love it!

I do enjoy your videos. You are a well spoken and intelligent young lady.
So beautiful!
Thanks guys,
This vid resonates with my values.
OMG...a few comments in and I learned of your loss....DEVASTATED! EXACTLY why I'm leaving the grid for LIVING...I am so sorry!!!
Thank you for the gift of HER....
hi! was watching you video and thought of a couple of things you might want to check out. both items are mexican cooking items which may be hard to come by, but not impossible - firstly is comal which is a flat cast iron pan that is thinner than a traditional cast iron pan, and thus heats very fast and toasts bread in minutes once warm. this pan can be used to make meats, pancakes, tortillas, etc on as well and they come in various sizes. secondly is the mexican pestle and mortar (molcajete) which is made from stone, large in scale and can make raw salsa in shorter time than it would if you chopped it up. the cool thing about the molcajete is that you can heat it up in the oven or grill and use it to make warm or cooked salsas and sauces too.
Good morning. Glad to see you guys on CZcams we miss you on this channel but it’s understandable why you are doing videos elsewhere. Blessings to you all. Merry Christmas and happy new year
i too,am so happy to see you back on you tube,you look very nice and healthy welcome back
Really blessed me by watching this. You seem so sincere. A nice quality video
So charming. Thank you.
I love your homestead, out door kitchen,laundry area, chicken coop and etc. keep making these good video and you'll get that 100 sub. thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.
We are on grid so we have a few more things in our kitchen but I use our off grid gadgets more often. Financially it wouldn’t make us sense getting solar since our power bill is so low because we don’t use it much otherwise we both would like to have solar. Love love love our wood cook stove. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others like our family. Shalom!
Jaime.. You look terrific..love your kitchen videos
Great information and charming presentation 👍.
Great to see this angel again! Nice to learn about these kitchen gadgets.
Very inspiring! Fantastic
Thanks for the tip on the difference between cooking with regular cast iron and enamel ware.
Brilliant thanks
Very good! Thank you...
I'm happy seeing you again!
Just started watching your vlogs......very interesting.....being a younger child in my family I was never around my grandparents much so am always interested in that generations' environment......
Your kitchen seems so peaceful. 💛
These are the things I kept electric, too. Grainmill, blender, handmixer and an old electric coffeemill for my spice mixes and dried mushrooms. We don’t have Lehman’s here in France and I find my old fashioned equipment on yard sales.
New Sub. I use a french press for coffee. Cast iron is awesome so versatile
Haywire Homestead we also use a French press for coffee and also for tea. Love that I can make 1-8 cups depending on our needs.

Coleman makes a camping coffee maker that is just like a Mr. Coffee except you use it on a gas stove. Works really well.
I bought a propane Coleman coffee maker, love it
This is so cool
Immersion blenders are awesome. I've been trying to get all the things together for making soap. The only thing left that I need is an immersion blender. It's the one thing that is a most expensive to make soap or use it in your kitchen for preparing other things. I've been watching your channel for a while and enjoy the cooking part. Thank you for awesome videos take care and God bless. Deb
Hi Jamie, I recently started watching a few of your videos after hearing about your channel through Sarah at Living Traditions. So glad to find you! Thank you for sharing this information!
Love the tips! I enjoy when you showcase how you get through a day off grid. Can you please posts links where you can purchase appliances and how the solar is setup.
You are such an inspiration. Thank you.
I am so glad you are back on CZcams. We are working towards being off grid. Trying to get away from electric
This just popped up on my feed. RIP dear lady 🌹💔
I gripped at my husband for buying ANOTHER gadget... Until I used the Emerson blender. I LOVE IT!
I love this lady!
Please make more videos showing us your life as a homestead mom/wife. You are living my dream life. (My husband is not willing to give up city life).
Thankyou for sharing this treasure
I have an Insta Pot and it does so much.
I loved seeing your nutramill and would love to see it working!
Thanks! Good video
A French press coffee maker will save you a lot of time and its off grid. I got mine from Goodwill. Love the Dutch oven!
I have a cast iron dutch oven and after every wash, I rub it with vegetable oil. This prevents rusting.
EXCELLENT - EXCELLENT TIPS AND VIDEO. Newbie here. Heading out to Ozarks end of March to begin off grid living. Gotta be thankful for finding your channel. Gonna binge watch probably all night now. - A really good channel for " instant pot " recipes is -PRESSURE LUCK. Very entertaining guy from New York . Actually the very town I was born in. Thanx.
Just had a friend point me to your channel. Can’t believe all the ideas I got just watching this video. Great ideas and I can’t wait to see what other ideas I can get here.
Great video! I'm researching homesteading and planning to begin this journey. Very helpful. You are delightful. I am your newest subscriber now. Look forward to learning from you.
very interesting!
Amazing
Great video!! I love the wonder mill and will have to look into them.. thanks for sharing!! Our off grid setup went a bit crazy I have a whole house 48/96V turbine and the inverter is the 10KW48V230VS by Global power (AIMS) and a 48V batterybank (I need to replace.. live and learn about maintaining)... no problem with power I just want to go manual with everything possible.. I even have a couple manual push mowers..!😁😉
No toaster for many years because we prefer the cast iron toasting method😀
