Thank you for this video, I purchased a dehydrator, and when it arrived, I started to question if I really needed it or not! I'm a foodie and a cook, and I always found ways to use alternatives. Your video gave me the kick I needed to get that dehydrator to work! ❤

[@littlefootranch4410]

I really don't know how you aren't the biggest homesteading channel on KZbin?!! I absolutely adore your channel. You're the only one who makes me smile the second I see you upload a new video! You have a contagious sun like energy that draws you in... Great video as always and I can't wait to try these!

[@lindacgrace2973]

Tip from an old country girl: drippings from pork is called lard. Drippings from beef is tallow. Tallow is firmer and has a much more pronounced (delicious!) flavor. Tallow is more suitable for candle making and some types of soap. If you make meal cakes for wild birds or your farm poultry, tallow will keep them warmer, be easier to mold into a cake, and will stay fresh outdoors for longer. OTOH, pork lard, softer with a much milder flavor is absolutely essential for Mexican cooking and my Aunt Vivian's Flaky Biscuits. Love your energy and content - keep up the good work!

[@rebeccataravonschleinitz]

Exactly. Soap. candles, and mincemeat (if you like that. ugh.). Tallow.

[@shyamlynn243]

You are absolutely correct about beef/ pork = tallow/ lard. The reason for my comment is this. Hamburger that we get from the store is ground beef with pork fat added in different percentages to obtain the lean, extra lean or regular grade so even though she is cooking a mainly beef product, the fat that melts off in this case will be mostly pork fat. Whatever the drippings are from cooking store bought ground beef actually are considering the mix of cow and pig I have no idea but I did find it interesting she found a good use for it. I usually just drain mine then burn it when having an outdoor fire or just throw it away and it always bothers me to waste anything especially if it came from an animal.

[@lindacgrace2973]

@@shyamlynn243 I didn't know about the pork fat - thanks for the info! I agree 100% with your ethical stance. I am not a vegan and regularly consume animal products. However, I am very mindful to use every scrap of the carcass to honor that animal's sacrifice.

The solution to the onions is to follow behind them with potatoes. Not only does it remove the smell from the dehydrator it neutralizes it in the house too.

[@marycoblentz5000]

I’m late to the game, but I know how you can dehydrate onions without the overwhelming smell. I cook mine in my Instant Pot with a quarter cup of water and cook for one minute. Drain and dehydrate. Of course you can smell it, but it’s nothing that makes you want to leave the house. You can go farther and caramelize the onions before dehydrating, which is also very good.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Wait...WHAT? Mary, you better not be pulling my chain?! This sounds AMAZING. As I shared, I only stopped dehydrating onions not because of taste, but because of the days of the lingering smell. I would love to caramelize them beforehand just to add that savory flavor. Thank you for sharing this valuable tip!

Rose Red Homestead dehydrates only Walla Walla sweet onions. She says the smell isn't overpowering...

Hello MsCyndiloowhoo! Your name is becoming a familiar face in these parts😜. Firstly, I immediately stopped and prayed that our Father will bless you with a full recovery. That’s a lot of stress so I am so glad to be a source of distraction for you! Give yourself the time you need to jump back in the kitchen, but like you, my small little garden and kitchen are my happy place. I’m sending the love right back! 🥰🥰

[@stefflus08]

I heard some giggling in the pantry tool cabinet, and there I found my dehydrator making out with my vacuum packer. They are such a good match, they preserve flavour and protect against rancidity.

Blanched or caramelized onions don't smell up the house. Glad you shared Heidi's channel. Rain Country is a treasure. A Purposeful Pantry is strong on dehydrating tips as well.

[@brendaboll8639]

Hi! I just found you today and have been binge watching you all afternoon. We moved onto our homestead (after living in town) last summer. We just got sheep this weekend and are loving the homesteading lifestyle. People thought we were crazy (we're in our early 50's) but they also admire us and said they wished they had the "guts" to live their dream instead of being stuck in a 9-5 like society says you have to. Blessings as you continue to inspire others in this awesome way of life!

Hello! I would love to know how you make money because I am thinking about homesteading as well!

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Hi Brenda Ball, I am in the NW Mountains of Me, I'm 62 & prepping to get chickens next spring if everything goes to plan, been working steady building homestead for past 5 yrs, I'm lucky, I have a good strong man by my side, I'm disabled so am very limited on what I can do, but I always push myself as far as I can to keep going. We have 11 raised beds, & a 30x40 ground garden. We just got a dog, which has been a good& bad addition, hopefully won't have issues with him & chickens but he is keeping predators out.

[@HappyLlama1234]

[@winningrabbit9843]

@@HappyLlama1234 I saw your message to Brenda regarding how to make money on a homestead and thought I would share a bit of my experience in hopes of giving you ideas. 😊 My husband and I started started homesteading 2 years ago. All of our free time went into building shelters for our animals, building raised beds, learning how to garden, pressure can, etc. it’s a lot of physical work but it’s the best work we have ever done. We are both 59. I wanted to take part in farmers markets and create a product that could be in shops nearby, so I built a small candle business. Although my husband goes into the office still, we are creating an 18 month plan so he can step off. We currently have goats, chickens, meat rabbits and bees. We sell rabbits, chickens and eggs and will sell honey next year. Part of our plan is to roll out 3 more avenues to bring in enough income to sustain this life style. One huge factor is living very simply and get by with a lot less. We come from high paying careers and never paid attention to the cost of things because of it. Not anymore. It became a huge change in our minds and it’s crazy that it took us this long to figure things out. Ways of making money can be as simple as offering to give an elderly person company to give a family member a break. :) Depending on what you like doing and what you’ve done, you can bring those talents to the next thing.

[@mommagator9899]

I can honestly say that this was THE MOST EXCITING "will or will not do again" video I have ever seen. I love the way you incorporated the 'how to' into this video. I love home dehydrated onions. I feel they have way more onion flavor than store bought ones. They do like to smell up the house and hang for a bit though. I set my dehydrator up in a rarely used room that I keep the door shut, put a box fan in the open window and set the dehydrator up in front of the fan so that the smell gets sucked out the window... or at least, a good bit of the smell.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Momma Gator! Aww, thanks! You’ve given me a point to consider…we do have an guest room upstairs that I could put the dehydrator in and crack the window. It has a ceiling fan too so I’ll give that a try while the weather is still cool. I just love a good too. Thanks for sharing!

[@laura.breneman1868]

Once again, you go above and beyond what most creators are sharing. I appreciate the time you take to show us how you process your food and what are some possibilities. Recently, I brought my OLD Mr. Coffee dehydrator out from storage and plugged it in. I started with a small amount of frozen veggies as a test. Your video has inspired me to keep going!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

I'm so happy to hear this, Laura! That's exactly how I started..with a 1 or 2 jars of this or that, determined how I'd like it/if I'd use and and over time I've now built up a small fleet of items that I truly do prefer to dehydrate. Canning, remains my favorite preservation method, but dehydrating comes in handy too!

Hi 👋🏾 Sandi! I’m so happy to hear this! You know that saying to “just be yourself because everyone else is taken”? I’ve decided to lean into who I am-quirks, mild sass, and sometimes quiet because that’s who I am. I think the food God gives us and the work so many of us do in our kitchens and homes is beautiful. Even with amateur camera skills I like to give a nod to the what so many of us do everyday! Thank you for your kind words, Sandi!

Cassandra, try dehydrating the strawberries and blueberries frozen from the store, you don't need to do anything to the blueberries, but will have to slice the strawberries down a bit, but when they're frozen they don't tear keep their shape and color.

I have some tips for fruit: Cantaloupe and Galia melons pack a punch in taste once dried. Of course, one full melon will not even give a full jar of dried melon, but the taste..... So good! Cherries are also great. The riper they are when you buy them, the better, but they too pack a punch in taste. I'll say they even taste better dried than fresh. Pineapples are also very tasty once dried. Sometimes they might have a bit of sour taste, but I think that's a nice change from all the sweetness of other fruit. I have loads of food allergies and found I CAN have fruit when I have dried it, so I dehydrate those two melon varieties, cherries, nectarines, peaches, pineapple, bananas (dipped in lemon water they don't loose their colour for me.) and apples. In the future I'll also try carrots and winter carrots, zucchini, aubergine and cucumber. Have fun dehydrating!

For onions and leeks, I put my dehydrator in the garage on top of the chest freezer. I'm into the freezer often enough that I can't forget the dehydrator more than a day. My favorite dehydrator project is shredded cabbage. I love being able to make cabbage soup on a random morning when I don't have fresh cabbage on hand and don't want to get dressed yet to run to the store. I love cabbage soup unreasonably. I hate dehydrating celery, but I do it because I hate not having celery when I want it even more. Maybe it's my dehydrator, but it literally takes 2-3 DAYS to dry. Grr.
