Freeze Dried Ham and Taste Test Ep77

[@thatandthese]

Please keep doing more. Thank you for adding how long you dried things. I am new to this and need all the help I can get!

[@JohnInBibs]

I will try to remember to say how long it took. But honestly I often add sometimes up to 20 hours just because it is convenient.

John, thanks for the videos, you have inspired me to continue not only learning but to be more efficient with my FD. Thanks for all the info and may you be happy In all your endeavors. Looking forward to your next video.

That is quite the success story!! Looks perfect for ham sandwiches!!

[@CC-mf3wh]

Good deal. I am going to do my ham now. Thank you

[@guylstephenson]

I bought two spiral sliced hams for freeze drying. Great video... very helpful. I was concerned how well they would reconstitute. No worries about it now. Thanks!!!

This is terrific! I have been wanting to try a variety of lunch meat types! Thanks John. I know this is an older video, but it is still awesome! 👍 ~Sharon

[@JohnInBibs]

[@sonnyle3092]

That is amazing.

[@kaycorea8229]

Thank you for posting! I bought pre sliced ham to freeze dry. Hope it’s thin enough.

[@eileenniehaus5368]

Excellent! Was wondering how my left over ham would do, thanks!

[@HellenaHanbasquet]

Great video. Thank you.

[@mcaputto]

Great video thanks!

[@fielddesign]

Thanks John, I found it

[@fielddesign]

Morning John could you tell us how you made your ham salad since using Mayo is a no no Thanks for your work on these things

[@JohnInBibs]

I'm at work right now. I can research it later. If I didn't explain how in the video then I used my mayonnaise alternative recipe which I have a video for. I will edit this reply with the link if you can't find it, after work today

[@mojorizn72]

Great vid, thanks for the effort. God bless

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks, you too!

[@sonnyle3092]

Should I pre-freeze my meat to save time?

[@historyteacher4402]

Good morning John!! I think you are working on another Christmas ham video. If you are or even if not…will you do a taste test of your, 4 year old, ham? I bought some spiral cut ham on sale and want to freeze dry slices and some of the non-spiral into chunks for soup. I just get anxious about fat. Thanks. Have a great day!!

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks, my stuff is stacked very tightly in my mobile home spare bedroom. If I get a chance I will try and dig some out for you.

What’s the shelf life on this product?

[@brandtwebber5761]

Iam I the only one that opened his mouth when he held the fork up...?

[@JohnInBibs]

LOL

[@cereslight219]

Im drying some ham and the fat part on the rim isn't drying. Is it simply just add more dry time to remedy? Or is the ring of fat not going to dry?

[@JohnInBibs]

You have to remove all the fat, I find it pretty easy to remove after I freeze dry it, as it is still soft and the meat is dry, pretty much pulls right off

[@cereslight219]

@@JohnInBibs thank you!

[@fpc0041]

so what is the verdict, slice all your meat for easy hydration, does sliced meat freeze dry better/faster ? have you tried slicing pork chop, or steak etc?

[@JohnInBibs]

I like sliced meat so it really depends on what you want. I have done pork loin and roast beef both sliced and love the results

[@boboscurse4130]

How about English muffins? Do they reconstitute?

[@dmerth]

I think ham might rehydrate better than any meat. Anyone have a better meat choice?
