Are freeze dried eggs any good in a Harvest right freeze dryer

[@justintime6346]

Excellent Gold powder for the future needs!

Chickens are looking great. I have just installed my whole house generator and setting up my chicken coop and runner. Was giving a rooster and 6 chickens. I am very excited.

[@mitchell866]

Interesting, informative, great to see you in good spirits, beautiful family and home, can't wait for the next video.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you!

[@sailme2day]

Great video pete. I always wondered about that equipment ,process, results , etc. Well done. Great team work with the wife . Good taste testing crew :) thanks .

[@d.j.robinson9424]

great video Pete, glad to see you back. We missed you. 👍💚👍

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks 👍

[@TheVicjbaldwin]

Hey Pete, if you get, or have, a spice grinder, grind those freeze dried eggs up into a powder. You can fit more eggs per bag that way. Also for future reference 1 teaspoon of powdered egg equals 1 med egg according to an old cookbook of mine.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks for the tips!

[@bethstaggs2369]

A food processor does great too

[@gaynellhilton3004]

Great! I would love to have a Freeze Dryer. Timewise for freeze drying, I'm not surprised with our humidity here in Deep East Texas. Usually takes me 4-5 days to dehydrate veggies.

[@juliebarnett9812]

I'm in SE Texas and not from here. I thought the humidity in Indiana was bad in the summer...until I came to Texas. Lol.

[@juliebarnett9812]

I have enjoyed watching your videos.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Glad you like them!

[@jazfarm5726]

You and I are soooo the same in what we are doing.

[@aspenram3885]

Aww you and your wife are so cute lol.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

😊 thank you

[@benjohnson1082]

Great video Pete. The freeze dryer is pretty neat.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks 👍

[@gmag3253]

We'll see you in 25 years to see how well it tastes! :)

[@hpope1130]

I wonder if you just did egg whites, then reconstituted them, if you could successfully make macarons with them. May have to give it a try. If that works I will probably always freeze dry my eggs separately so I can easily make custards or meringues with it. 😊

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yes I'm sure that would work because after you reconstitute them, they are just like raw eggs.

[@Thebluegrasswonderer]

Glad see you back again. How is the greenhouse growing?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks, only thing growing in the green house here is sweet potatoes and parsley which is surprising because it is so hot in there 🙁

[@ritabrunetti381]

Maybe some milk to the eggs? Salt & pepper? From what I could see on the video, the eggs looked to watery. But a great idea for a future problem. Be well to both of you.

[@nmartens16]

Great video and information, do you have a link for the mylar bags you are using?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I just put the link in the description under the video for the mylar bags.

[@nmartens16]

@@petebeasttexashomesteading That's just what I needed, Thanks!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

@@nmartens16 You can also use an oxygen absorber if you don't have a chamber vacuum sealer. 300 to 500 cc oxygen absorber would work for those sized bags.

[@glorytogodhomestead3495]

They say to add a little salt before freeze drying.

[@ashyslashy5818]

truly you need to bag it up immediately.the food starts reconstituting once out of the freeze dryer...

[@dagiang60]

Another great video. How many fresh eggs total to make 5 trays?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Sorry for the late reply but it's about 34 eggs per tray.

[@dagiang60]

@@petebeasttexashomesteading Thank you! How long did it take you to collect that many eggs from the girls? 🙂

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

@@dagiang60 We were getting about 20 eggs a day from them, so it took about 8 to 9 days to fill the trays.

[@michaeltang7238]

would you like to test generator inlet box ?

[@evelynrogers7145]

How come you don’t give them oyster shell ?

[@ritabrunetti381]

I forgot to mention that I keep my daughter's chickens well fed, as a snack, with Grub Terra!!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Awesome 👍

[@robertpolito6139]

Do you sell eggs in bags like this on the internet?

[@stevebillow395]

Nice pete, how many eggs do you plan on putting back for emergency? Also do you sell any of your eggs to the public?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks, I don't sell any eggs to the public but I can't say I never will. We will keep storing eggs for the long term as long as this world is headed in it's current direction. I don't see thing getting better any time soon.

[@bmiller1958]

@@petebeasttexashomesteading - it’s a year later and things are worse. Ugh. Great video, Pete. Thank you.

[@shadowmist1246]

I've been doing some reading on vacuum vs oxygen absorbers. It would seem that vacuum sealing of mylar bags alone is not sufficient for the 25 yrs claimed in this video.

[@jeffsanderson2737]

What part of Texas do you live I live right by Logansport

[@Miguel195211]

Nothing taste better than fresh.

[@carol5606]

Wow vacuum sealer is way too expensive for me. Do you think oxygen packets and mylar bags would do sufficiently well? Why did you guys elect to spend almost $2000 on a chamber vacuum sealer?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

The oxygen packets will work great. We had to buy the vacuum sealer because of the volume of food we freeze dry. It was $1600 when we bought ours, they went up a lot since then.

[@carol5606]

@@petebeasttexashomesteading Thanks. That figures.

[@TrimbleFarmsEastTexas]

Good video, are you a military veteran?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you, and no I'm not a veteran.

[@GunBigotHater]

We ate freeze dried eggs in the Navy for at least a year, and I never noticed until someone told me.

[@Timanator]

Holy cow, 46 hours!

[@dscrive]

I know right?! I also was surprised it was done so quickly with eggs having such a high water content.

[@evelynrogers7145]

Can you freeze them whole?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yes you can but the whites separate from the yoke once dryed and becomes very messy. Better off just scrambling them.

[@jazfarm5726]

Pulse them in a food processor and you will get way more per bag.

[@paulettagyurik2644]

I think 2 tablespoons egg powder + 2 tablespoons water = 1 egg

[@stephenquick3370]

The eggs were “rubbery” because you over cooked them. And add some whole milk.

[@dagiang60]

I bought three #10 cans of Augason Farms Emergency Food Whole Eggs Dried Egg Product just right before the plandemic. A few months ago I opened one of the cans so I can experiment with some recipes. The product smells horrible... This weekend I opened the second can to make corn bread. Again, the reconstituted eggs smelled bad when I mixed the powder with water, the batter smelled bad, and when I baked the cornbread I got an unpleasant odor wafting through my kitchen instead of a nice corn-bready aroma.. Did your freeze dried egg have any smell? Did it have any smell? Did it smell funny at all?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

The freeze dried eggs that you opened should be bone dry and no funny smell. There was either some moisture when they sealed the can or the eggs could've been contaminated to begin with.

[@workinprogress3609]

You should have let your wife cook the eggs. You cooked the crap out of them.😊😋😊

[@ashyslashy5818]

i cook mine first
