Great way to invest in your future Cooking a Freeze Dried Raw Hamburger

[@mindypatriotangel6064]

Great video Bexar, I am so glad you are doing these videos. They are very helpful :)

[@unitedstatesdale]

I Love your videos ! SO informative ! Thanks

[@raregem48]

always looks soooo good. hope your move goes well!

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day

[@DoubleDHomestead]

Awesome ! Someday I'd like to get a freeze dryer!

[@intentionalize]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I've been learning from you for quite awhile now; I'm grateful for the information you share, it changes lives. As for the cost of the tool, we too are saving up for one. I believe life is full of choices. We choose this. Our kids and grandchildren will receive home preserved tasties for Christmas instead of more "stuff". Just think how quickly one could save up for this if we made other choices with how we spend or save our money. I'm good with that!

[@JustSewTrish]

These look great. I am so impressed with freeze dried

[@thamesuser]

So you're moving? This is why we need all our preps in a separate bug out location in case we need to move or have to leave our homes. I'm sure you've covered this topic in one of your many discussions Thanks for the vid

[@sunwarz]

in a SHTF situation, are you planning on using your freeze dryer for winter storage of your harvest? if so what plans do you have to keep it running! Can it be powered by solar or a propane or gas generator, and is there anything that you have to stock up on to be able to use it besides fuel or batteries! Or would it be more practical to resort to old methods of drying and root cellars for storage !

[@sonyamurphy1208]

Looks good

[@kozykitchen4232]

Big YUM! I am impressed!

[@resourcefulgirl]

You're making me hungry!!! :)

[@uncusmohican1367]

Great video! How much water do you need to add? I look forward to your comparison of the cooked vs uncooked [I suspect that the cooked will be trickier to rehydrate without making it soggy].

[@BexarPrepper]

I agree that's why I wanted to make sure I had raw. Blessings

[@vinjulieann1]

I just pulled 10 lbs of ground beef out of my dryer - 6 lbs of cooked slider sized patties and 4 lbs of taco seasoned ground beef - I learned to take I easy on salting foods before drying them. I want to try the freeze dried pickle powder -

[@persiusk]

I'm excited for your move. I want to thank you for making such quality videos. You have such a great speaking voice, I wish we could hang out and drink wine together.

[@BexarPrepper]

That would be fun. I'm such a light weight 1 glass and I'm down for the count lol. Blessings

[@wwasher]

Could you rehydrate using liquid fat, such as hot lard, or beef tallow?

[@sissiew8483]

Do you have special equipment to Freeze Dry your food?

[@BexarPrepper]

Yes Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. Hey have layaway and sometimes an older model for less. Blessings

[@vinjulieann1]

Plus they come with a oil-less vacuum pump now - no maintenance.

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

I wish I could afford a machine you are so lucky.

[@PetPrepper]

Yum!

[@1122kiwi]

Is it advised to F D raw hamburger?

[@BexarPrepper]

You bet. Blessings

[@OldeGuido1]

Mmmmm, I'll be right over. Now that looks like stored beef I could sink my teeth into. OldeGuido really dislikes the special taste of canned beef. I would be interested in your comparison of the taste of ground beef from various processes of long term storage. (pressure canned, dehydrated, freeze dried, etc...) Thx.

[@BexarPrepper]

Great idea. Blessings

[@thamesuser]

Does anyone know why some freeze dried food, like Back Country, claim only a 2 or 3 year shelf life while others claim up to 25 years?

[@Ceco556]

How much does a good freeze drying machine cost?

[@InFlorida4252]

They are currently on sale for $2995.

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

Hey, there! I miss seeing you on you tube. I hope you're doing okay!

[@BexarPrepper]

I just got electricity so soon I should be posting again. Blessings

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

Thanks for letting me know! I was worried about you. I'll be looking for your nest video.

[@schnirchj]

Don't forget about uses related to our pets. Example: PureBites® All Natural Freeze Dried Value Pack Cat Treat 1.1 oz $5.19 Great video. Thanks for sharing.your info about this neat tool.

[@InFltSvc]

Jamie Schnirch Hell on an emergency (like in Venezuela) I would be eating pets... it’s an animal, to a human !

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

I started saving up for a home freeze dryer. $2800.00 to go.

[@grandmananners]

would love one of these....will take a long time to save $4000 for one though

[@agentp6621]

Now if only everything was freeze dried. The lettuce, tomato, bun and fries.

[@NWIPrepper19113]

That's the way to make a burger.

[@brucewayne-cave]

I was thinking about buying the Sam's Club raw hamburger patties and just throwing them in the FD. They are already the recommend thickness and very uniform. I suspect that freshly cooked will taste better. However, I always battle with the thought if things are so bad, that I have broken into the FD food; cooking fuel and supplies will probably add more difficulty to difficult situation. Ah the internal battle, to cook or not to cook.

[@tonicbabydriver]

this thought crossed my mind. im sure your freeze dryer won't always produce food storage only items. how nice to take advantage of a good price and then instead of cramming your freezer just store them in mylar. shtf, i would like my foods pre cooked i think.

[@BexarPrepper]

I'm doing some both ways. First 6 months cooked second 6 months raw. Blessings

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

I am making everything fully cooked. I have had the same internal battle!

[@wandaduckworth1357]

Have. you ever canned. hotdogs???

[@Calchick7]

No way am I spending almost $4,000 to do freeze dried burgers - I will stick with the usual dehydrated stuff and live without the meat or buy it from a company to enhance our dehydrated storage. nice video though!

[@myastroflight]

Onions. Don't forget the onions next time.

[@BexarPrepper]

That's what my daughter said haha. Blessings

[@wandaduckworth1357]

Have. you ever canned. hotdogs???please let me now thank. you

[@BexarPrepper]

Doesn't turn out. I am going to try freeze drying all beef hot dogs. Blessings

[@InFltSvc]

WHY? Why would you consume so much energy to cook then all that energy and time to dry out a burger when you can make a fresh burgers when you want one. I could understand if your stock piling or you’re sending it to the space station or even going on a long camping trip but really!

[@ceadeses]

I always knew you were a show off! Good God I'm just kidding.

[@BexarPrepper]

lol Blessings
