Here I am falling asleep as I was up half the night checking into how to dehydrate EGGS.
What did I find????
I found that people are so worried about emergency situations they are not depending on electricity to there freezers, they are putting out how to survive films teaching everyone how to dehydrate just about anything one can imagine to feed their family's when TSHTF.
What really bothered me is the number of people that believe we need to do this NOW. Thousands of sites put out by religious and non religious folk that are getting ready to hunker down.
I got into this as I do remember a few shipping strikes that led to grocery stores being cleaned out of meat and canned goods in the 1970, The Unions were going to teach us a lesson and did they ever.
Why are we doing this hording food at this time that if nothing happens we will not need.-----Shelf life for some of this stuff is 10-30 years, if we are not around in the future, someone in our family may thank God we had the fore sight to feed them in the future.
I dd find 50 or so Company's that sell dried foods that are a complete rip off. Their biggest rip off was the cost for dried beans and rice that will last many years and if bought in bags at the grocery store cost 1/4 of the cost of their products. Vaccum seal the suckers and they will last may more years then their products.
What I cannot find is how to dehydrate meats that have all ready been cooked. Food safety when it comes to chicken and pork, hamburger etc is a question. So the freeze dried form of cooked meat foods is not so palatable, when one is hungry, who gives a flying freak about the seasoning , just eat the damn stuff.
BTW, I found over 2 dozen videos on how to dehydrate fresh eggs, I will give this a try when Eggs go on sale. Any one know how to dehydrate Hot dogs??
