2020 Thanksgiving MRE by Steve1989 Review Homemade Freeze Dried Ration Tasting Test Feast

[@sophiawan8375]

I like to imagine Steve freeze-dries and rehydrates all his meals before he eats them.

[@HDcamel]

The absolute madman. Most people complain about how long they slave over the oven to make Thanksgiving dinner. Steve cooked the food, dehydrated it, packaged it, opened it, then rehydrated it.

[@jessesloan864]

AND reheated the leftovers...

[@DepressivesBrot]

But if you got these to be properly shelf stable, you'd only need to make a batch every 5 years or so. Imagine the time saved!

[@akfred]

I think he said it took 4 days to make the thanksgiving MRE. Thats dedication!

I mean, it's 2020. You never know what will happen or where we'll be in 2021. I miss my grandma's cooking. I wish I could have freeze dried that lol. Damnitt!

Lmao I can't believe he made homemade food just to freeze dry it and vacuum seal it for a normal mre review. This is top tier Steve content folks.

[@GerackSerack]

Looking it up, I think his machine is about $3,000, maybe more, maybe less. After paying that, he better be freeze drying all his dam meals.

Could you imagine how much more the giants in prepper food industry could get as a premium level meals or sides by Steve1989?

[@spicytrash4981]

Making his own MRE's now ... He's too powerful. Steve is now a god. His final form is far too immense to comprehend.

[@esophe]

He even looks like MRE jesus

[@johnosfirewalker8517]

Hes eaten all the MREs Hes made his own MREs Next step: *Become the MRE.*

[@milescampos4039]

I am the MRE, Randy Bo-Bandy...

[@deadfr0g]

Let’s get me out onto a tray. NICE.

[@jtrujillo1985]

🤣😂🤣

[@Generalfoley]

First thing his descendents hear after opening up the bag Grampa Steve left behind: "Nice Hiss."

[@choppergunner8650]

Now Steve can put himself in a tray!

[@asadunkerton8843]

A tip for freeze drying green beans for the casserole. Freeze dry the sauce and the green beans separately and then add them together in the package before vacuum sealing. Just do a quick poach of fresh green beans that way they will stay a little firmer and not be over cooked

[@michaelkartman3543]

You’re the most wholesome man on the internet Steve. Never stop being you. Please bring us more homemade MRE’s, this was so cool! Thank you for spending thanksgiving with us. 🙂

[@dantheman6855]

[@willjoo5976]

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

It's a good one, I haven't seen A video for awhile but I'm trying to catch up!

[@glenndouglas8822]

Him and MrBallen ✌️

[@SurpriseReprise]

Hearing and watching Steve’s excitement as he reconstitutes his own freeze-dried, homemade Thanksgiving MRE is one of the best things I’ve witnessed in recent memory. This is passion in it’s most raw form, and I am HERE for it. NICE

[@Tarryk]

I laughed SO HARD at the let's-get-this-out-onto-a-tray moment. That poor tray LOL

[@Corisu]

I'm still laughing, that was so expected yet unexpected.

[@evangelineirene6994]

Tray: am i not tray enough to you steve?

[@samanthajoslyn7051]

Steve I love how excited you are in this video. As cool as your videos are, half of it is just how much joy and excitement you get out of them. I can tell you're super proud of this video, as you should be. 😊

[@Ranger_Kevin]

Steve, I have a suggestion: If you weigh the freeze-drier trays before and after the process, you can calculate how much water was removed from the food during the process, and note that amount on the individual bags. That way, you'd know exactly how much water you need to add back in for rehydration.

[@KainYusanagi]

Not only that, but for sauces or other such mixes, run them through a food processor to powder them, if you don't have the patience or time to grind them down with mortar and pestle.

[@OREGONGAMER503]

Your a genius sir

[@mikew735]

clever

[@DiabloDaSlaya]

@@KainYusanagi next years will be much better lol

We're in 2020, you're living in 3020. 👍👏

[@windriver2363]

Did I just spend 45 minutes watching someone dehydrate food, put the food in bags, and then immediately remove the food from the bags and rehydrate the food?

[@seanjahns3238]

Yes you did

[@goawaytubetwat3179]

Yup, you probably did. I was talking about Steve's channel with a group of friends the other day and one of them laughed for ages because he thought I was making a joke. No, people really do watch people eating and making rations.

[@moonbeamstry5321]

I did and loved every second of it

[@jack66648]

And it was awesome

[@kristingallo2158]

Yes and you loved it

The excitement in Steve’s voice when his freeze drying efforts have worked. Superb!

[@theNoobmaster69]

Love how he wrote "Nice" on the sticker for himself, lmao.

[@dennissneed2214]

Yeah...

[@ilyalehrman9280]

[@korimclemore]

Steve! I feel like you should know that you Have helped me through the hardest time of my life. My dad passed away suddenly on feb 11 2021 and I’ve been bingeing your videos to fall asleep since it happened. Thank you! You’re so wholesome and soothing

[@Ed_Okin]

Prayers for you and your dad and family. May he Rest In Peace and may you be given solace and consolation!

[@astarryeyedgirl]

My condolences.. hope you're okay. That's a hard thing to go through.

[@wingersdingers]

Sorry for your loss, i don't even have a great relationship with my dad and I dread the day he passes. Keep your head up.

[@ddoleiden]

Hope you’re doing ok Kori.

[@LCx829]

My dad passed in 92 when I was 15 years old. I think of him and miss him still 30 years later. My condolences to you.

[@MrOffTrail]

Hey Steve, anything you want to come out smooth, like the gravy, just run it in the blender after freeze drying, until it turns to powder. Makes a big difference when you rehydrate. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@jasonkennedy9584]

That's genius! It's the simple things that often make stuff just right. Awesome.

[@mfree80286]

If you process it after drying, run it through the dryer again before packaging. It'll have soaked up some humidity just naturally.

[@Lauraphoid]

@@mfree80286 yea. Freeze dry, blend, freeze dry, package.

[@Reedeleted]

The fact that he's complaining about the packaging he used, I'm dying. Consummate professional. Your passion is inspirational.

[@AlienZizi]

cannot believe how positive this guy is. i actually cant imagine him saying anything mean or too critical

[@ulogy]

"Kinda thin and none of these have gussets" is basically him getting salty af

[@wormhole331]

@@ulogy yeah he was raging during that part.

[@MiriOhki]

Only exception had to be that one Chinese pork fried rice one that was totally inedible. Was justifiably revolted. Edit: sorry, pork chow mein, but yeah, green pork. Ew.

"No coffee" Thats depression right here

Straight up my favourite KZbin content creator. The pride he has for his homemade MRE is 100% deserved. So rad!

[@alexanderh.5814]

He does appear to have an industrial size freeze dry machine.

[@schlieffenska]

From someone who has no interest in MRIs, I would 100% buy several from you. Your channel is amazing, and you are just so great! Speaks volumes how people like me outside of the normal demographic can't get enough!

[@amedilen]

the enthusiasm about everything made the whole video 10x better

[@rheamanuel9154]

Its really cute and funny how sir Steve made time to make all these MREs and eat by himself. This vid really made my day before sleeping. How he sealed them in a box then unbox them like someone send them to him 😆😆. Really wholesome ❤️ love it really. ❤️❤️❤️ his excitement in every packets is like a lil boy unwrapping gifts from Santa. Such a cutiee, really 🥰😄

[@danielryan2452]

When you've tried all of the MRE's in the world, so you have to start making your own. One of the most iconic and entertaining videos, can't wait to see Christmas dinner Steve!

[@_letstartariot]

Steve saying he was so excited he was shaking over his homemade freeze dried cranberry is the most pure thing I have seen online in a long while. I’d say that this man needs to be protected, he’s too good for this world. But he looks like he can protect himself just fine 💪
