Shepherds Pie Freeze Dried And Reconstituted Ep199

[@eodretired6279]

Makes freeze dried food look like an everyday prepared meal solution.

[@1azmom]

We cooked ours in a casserole dish, using ground turkey, froze it then cut it up, placed it on the trays, squished down a little, and it was in for 35 hours. We vacuum packed all of it. It reconstitutes beautifully.

We're using it for a backpacking trip coming up.

I am so thrilled that this worked out! Shepherds Pie is my favorite comfort food go-to dish. Your recipe is different than mine and I really want to try it! Yummy! Another big winner! Thanks again. ~Sharon

When putting the meat into the bowl a little teeny bit of beef ended up on the bottom right of the table. It was nice seeing it stay there the whole time. Made this all seem more real and down to earth. I could almost smell the shepherds pie through the TV and over the last couple of years! It looked like there was room at the top of the tin, you probably could have used more meat & fixings without changing much. The potatoes would have still fit, just needed a smaller bag. Hope you’re doing ok, it’s been a week since your last video on or about 4/11/2024. I was getting used to seeing them more often. Was I just spoiled? 🤔

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks, since you are a regular commenter I am going to overlook this one time. I choose to try and see positivity in the world (think Thumper from Bambi) In general I just remove negative comments. We tend to see what we are looking for. If someone is looking for mistakes in my videos they will surely find them. I am a simple guy that likes to freeze dry. Not a professional. My brother passed away last Saturday so I may not be posting for awhile. We were very close and he lived with me.

[@MisterEMystery]

Oh! So sorry for your loss! I had a feeling he lived with you, I assumed it was he watching or listening to something in the background of so many of these videos. Keep in mind, he’s technically in many of these videos if not in the same room his spirit is felt! I do recall the one where you asked him to taste test. I think that’s him in your early video when you got the freeze dryer. I wasn’t disparaging your video. I’m Autistic and was focused on something is all. I apologize if it seemed mean 😢. I have Aspergers which makes talking to others difficult. It never occurred to me that perhaps I have a problem typing too.

[@karynkelly-michael4089]

Looks wonderful, John! Keep up the great work! I sure wish KZbin came with "smell/taste-vision" :)

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks, So do I LOL

[@usha777]

I'm going to make this.

[@brucelarson4283]

That looks great john!! I think i,ll have to try that soon!👍

Thanks

Where did you get those small trays?

[@vickiegossett7214]

Looks like could be serving enough for 4 large or 6 smaller servings. Thank you for sharing. I run and manage the office for a local construction co and we are booked out 1-1/2 years.

[@fredrahe4348]

After I get done making your potato salad I'm going to try your shepherd's pie I also just ordered the the vacuum seal rolls out of your store.

[@JohnInBibs]

Thank you very much for your support!

[@gaylaskates8831]

Love your videos! Thank you. Where can one get the smaller pans?

[@JohnInBibs]

I picked them up on Amazon, here is my affiliate link: amzn.to/3D92GFP which helps support my channel. Thank you

[@BruceS42]

Shepherds Pie, but no lamb? I think this is "Cottage Pie". Still great stuff, but given the choice, I prefer lamb. Then again, when my wife makes "Shepherds Pie", it's almost always with leftover lamb roast, so cut up pieces, not ground/minced lamb like it's supposed to be. As for the last bit, I watch a number of channels that do freeze drying, but if/when we get a HarvestRight freeze dryer ourselves, I'll try to remember to use the affiliate link for this one. Oddly enough, I just now started wondering about freeze drying roast duck. That may be too high-fat to freeze dry, but I don't know. I'll have to search that. Thanks, John, for your videos.

[@tericarter2512]

Where did you get the metal half pans that you freeze dried the mash potatoes with? Looks like a half pan of the freeze drier.

[@JohnInBibs]

I had a father-in-law his name is Adrian he sounds just like you do I bet you if he had lived he would’ve been doing the same type of KZbin videos thank you

I just cut them from a large mat I bought on amazon

[@jasonbourne4427]

John thanks for the great videos and inspiration ! tried to buy some bags on your amazon store but they are all out. Where are you buying your bags these days? Pack Fresh is mostly all back order. Thanks!

[@JohnInBibs]

topmylar.com is where I go. I try to keep plenty in stock so haven't ordered in a while (except more O2s)

[@mindyhill2381]

John, I haven't completely watched this video yet, but I will come back to it. However, I'm wondering about your pan that you ground beef in, what kind is it. It seems to hold up well to forks and metal utensils. Thanks

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks for watching, I picked the pans up off of Amazon.

[@mindyhill2381]

Got to finish watching and it looks great - soon to be on our list of recipes to try in the freeze dryer. Thanks, John

How long would you store this? I would be concerned with "plasticizing" for long term.

[@JohnInBibs]

I am not familiar with the term plasticizing........ The interior bag I used is food grade, and does not actually come into contact with the food unless you are talking about the ziploc bag for the potatoes. Mylar bags are made with a polyester (plastic) coating so I think it is ok.

[@ellenclayton5955]

Plasticizing is when plastic (like ziploc bags) breakdown over time and a chemical reaction begins. It causes your food to be inedible. But if this is going to be just for short-term meaning only a year or so then it will be safe. Long-term it would not be.

[@ellenclayton5955]

@@nanmaco I have thought about trying that myself. I tried researching as well but couldn't find anyone else that had tried it.

[@JohnInBibs]

I just want to add my 2 cents worth. For the zipplock bag to degrade I am pretty sure it needs at least 2 things. Oxygen and light. Am I wrong?

[@ellenclayton5955]

@@JohnInBibs have you ever been cleaning out your garage and find plastic stuff in a box somewhere and it is getting sticky? That is what's going on. No light, minimal oxygen.

[@dsbennett]

There's still lots of air in the aluminum pan. It would be more effective to vacuum seal the ingredients in a bag, then put that bag into the aluminum pan with the bread stuff.

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks, you could do that
