how to FIX crystallized honey (decrystallize) without damaging enzymes

[@MrJorge7554]

Thanks! Summary: Keep water at 104 to 105 degrees submerged. Boiling or microwave will destroy the enzymes.

[@supertrooper0264]

Celcius or farenheit?

[@utsouthpaw2013]

​@@supertrooper0264 Fahrenheit

[@cloudtech273]

So the plastic does not melt at 100 deg

[@ericaulbach]

No more honey in coffee or tea.

[@Xanderbankss]

You gotta appreciate how much knowledge is packed in this video. Came for a quick tip but ended up learning a whole bunch 🤙🏽

[@potatohead1423]

I don't like to heat plastics, even a little bit. I put my new honey straight from the store into a glass mason jar. You can also get a spoon in there easily.

[@ricardocobhc8175]

Great idea!

[@Greboguru]

That’s such a smart idea.!

[@purityandplants]

I am definitely doing this next time! Thanks!

[@sarahdenkins3431]

Absolutely! That is exactly what I was going to say😊

[@Pneuma3301]

literally came here to say this

[@jenette16]

My first jar crystalyzed 1/4of the bottle. I cut the bottle open lenghwise and put it out for the bees. I dont know where they all come from, but they were going to town on it. Put sticks here and there so they wouldnt drown in the stuff. It was really neat to watch them work it down to nothing but a couple crystals.

[@McPringle_garcia]

I don't ever put a like on a video but I did today. Straight to the point and an absolute life saver at 2AM. thank you sir

[@mrshenanigans8487]

I dunno what you have going on at 2:00AM but include me next time.

[@charlies_angels3496]

3:16 am for me, and it is because I want to make a peanut butter and honey sandwich 😂

[@nerdy_posta1129]

The honey in my house started to crystallize. I just ran it over somewhat hot from the sink and it worked like a charm.

[@franciscofranklin359]

Such a simple and straightforward video. It’s greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

[@livefree6878]

👍

[@scottieray]

I 'collect' honey when I go on my road/motorcycle trips. I think it is neat how honey from other areas of the US tastes different from what I purchase locally here in Arkansas. Thanks for the vid...I have several jars that need de-crytalized.

[@punkstermom1984]

Yep. All different flavors, colors, allergy benefits etc depending on what the bees get their nectar from. Fun fact... Bees that feed on cannabis make green honey!!! There was also once that I seen bees produced rainbow honey and found out the bees had fed on discarded Skittles that were a mess up batch bought by a local farmer for sugar additive 😂 bees are so funny.

[@seanperdue232]

Thanks for the GREAT advice and demonstration.

[@radamson1]

Thank you so much. I knew there was a way to decrystalize honey, I just didn't know what it was.

[@sunnyterah2985]

Coming here to say that 3 years later this still works!! I heated water to 140 F with an electric kettle and filled the crock pot and kept it on warm just as listed. The temperature did drop to 130 F since the lid was off but the temp. maintained itself steady for the 3 hours I had the bottles in the bath. My bottles were almost empty and the honey hat settled to one side. They floated so I had to rubber band them together and put a small handled heavier pot on top of them to avoid them from topping over and floating. I noticed that the seal on two of them wasn’t as snug as before and water could easily enter. I would advise not letting the bottles lay in the water to avoid water leaking into the honey. Also, the metal pot creates a little heat cave and honey that had hardened on top melted to the bottom. I emptied the honey in a jar that I could easily scoop with a spoon. I remember seeing another video that stated that honey would re-crystallize again and to avoid it to put a little of corn syrup in the honey, but unless you have a full jar of unused honey, I don’t think it’s worth the effort. Great instructions and easy to follow. I can’t believe I threw perfectly good honey away all those years ago that I could’ve solved with a crock pot!

[@fishmut]

Just for information honey will and does re crystallise , it’s what honey does naturally in jars etc , just re do them when you want flowing honey or eat it with a spoon , I call it candy honey ,it’s nice having a spoon full now and then , like having a lolly , if your selling your honey let the customer know real honey crystallises , supermarket honey doesn’t and that’s how they know they got real 100% bee honey , I always tell my customers and they love it , I also tell them how to de crystallise it if they want to .

[@joaquinandes]

You don't want to go over 110 degrees or its no longer raw. I think he said 140 but meant to say 104. On the heat camera reading the temp was 108.

[@XeaRae]

It’s such a slow process without a crock pot. I keep changing water to warm/hot after it cools and 6 changes later, only 15% of honey de-crystalized.

[@carismaticul]

How many times can you decrystalize one?

[@kwelchans]

Would a rice cooker on the "Warm" setting work?

[@TheProcinctu]

I bought that same Ollie's batch at the time of this video .. now, two years later, sad I have to buy full priced honey again. :(

[@valkry007]

so the next day it is crystalized again and you have to do this all over again ?????

[@latestmush9281]

😂

[@punkstermom1984]

No. It will crystalize over time again though just like it did the first time. And yes it can be done again to get it back to liquid. But it won't crystallize right away after this. I would say though that if you have it stored in a colder environment it might crystallize faster. That being said, if you want to do something else with your crystallized honey other than remelting it, you can always whip it in your blender and turn it to whipped honey. 😉😋🍯

[@gremlin117]

Great and Informative. Thanks a ton!

[@TattiesnGravey]

Thank you i never knew i could decrystallised honey

[@BiggMo]

Question… they say honey lasts forever, doesn’t spoil…. But about the enzymes? They must eventually become inactive… how lone does the enzymes last

[@FrogFishLeezerd]

I have 3 big bottles of honey that have only 1/4 left, all totally crystallized. I'm gonna try this, thanks! So much better than using a long spoon and getting all sticky! LOL

[@nickcpv]

I have left about 28oz honey for over 2h at exactly 105F. Then let it on the warm water overnight. Still partially crystallized. I think 105F is too low. Will go to 130F for another couple of hours.

[@jakefriesenjake]

Heating up a jar now. I filled up a pot with hot water, put the container inside, put the stove burner on super low. I have a lazer temp gun and heat it up to 107 degrees f. If it goes higher than that, I slide the pot off the burner just a bit. Keep doing that till the temp doesn't go up or down.

[@uprightboy]

Thank you. Great video.

[@ChoJun69]

anyone watching should actually cut open their bottles and put the honey into jars or other containers that aren't plastic for future easy recrystallization (i personally buy ketchup, or pickles or w.e. else you want, +500g jars instead of bottles for exact this reason, do it 1-2 times and you have forever lasting container for stuff like this especially considering you dont eat 200g honey in a sitting). Heating plastic with things you plan to consume inside is a very very bad idea

[@Mr371312]

The reason to uncrystallize it is because its stuck in the bottle. Low temperatures like 100f are very safe for foodgrade plastics, I guarantee you are eating far more dangerous foods of the like on a daily basis.

[@sansomspressurecleaningpoo9519]

Thank you for your video. How did you decrystallize a 55 gallon drum filler honey?

[@4drturbo85]

Move drum to 100 degree area

[@cvvzdesigns]

What they said... or I'd say to wrap it in electric blankets. ;)

[@punkstermom1984]

Metal drum or plastic drum?

[@jacobsnewadventures]

I don’t have a thermometer so how can I do this without that?

[@jackflash5659]

Great video. Thank you for posting!

[@deathvalleyalex9485]

Thank you for sharing this simple remedy

[@fritzdecat]

Would it still work if I left the heat on low on the stove top and put the bottle in some water in a pot?

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Can't let the plastic touch the bottom of the pan while heating..it will melt...you must have the water between it and the bottom to keep it under 212..on the 3xtewme end...use a double boiler if you want to heat it in the bottle

[@Liam-BrawlStarz]

Well what am supposed to do if I don’t have that machine…

[@Lma1974]

Do you use this on the brokeback mountain?

[@rbono01]

How long does it stay decrystallized

[@chuckroast7053]

RB, once you decrystallize and if the temperature in your area is warm like spring/summer, it should remain in its original state for a week or so. I read that if the temperature is below 50, it will probably start to crystalize again. I also read that depending on what the bees are foraging on, that could add to crystallization, so as mentioned in the video, crystallized honey is still good to eat.

[@SoloQuue]

Something that works similar! A cup and hot running water from your faucet.

[@timwright6122]

I just push on mine get motion going

[@rudybriskar5267]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jacobyamamoto856]

This seems like a good job for a sous vide

[@raysanders332]

I have tried this, it does not work.

[@ChoJun69]

need higher temp or keep it for longer. It's not rocket science, its literally HEAT+CRYSTALIZED> Liquid honey, can just add your jar into pot with hot - not boiled - water and keep it there, same concept.

[@jerryw6699]

When they package honey, the process requires the honey to be at about 140 degrees f.

[@bruhtholemew]

Who's "they"? Whatever brand you looked at probably pasteurizes it.

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Sadly it recrystalized as soon as it cooled

[@grahamfreer7157]

Will it crystallize again

[@punkstermom1984]

Over time again yes it will but you can always just repeat this process as needed 😉 you can also whip crystalized honey into creamed honey! 😋🍯

[@grahamfreer7157]

@ I did it the other day it worked great thanks

[@ArimaSenne1]

thanks... my honey always crystalize before i finished using it

[@oscarmonroy6337]

Awesome ! I spent $25 on a giant bottle and it’s now crystallized! So I’m getting out my crock pot , filling it with water, and trying this process 🤠

[@cvvzdesigns]

How did it work out? I have a jumbo Costco bottle that I need to work with, but it's too big for a crock pot so I'm curious if it worked for you. :)

[@manodfergus]

Degrees....F or C?

[@punkstermom1984]

This video was in Fahrenheit.

[@Natasha_4]

Thank you!!

[@AliciaMarkoe]

thank you 🦋

[@treeoflife6386]

Plus you need local raw honey, for your immune system

[@74Voyeur]

What is the shelf life of honey? We've got a couple of partly used jars of crystallized honey that I'd like to revive and use up.

[@cvvzdesigns]

There's 3000 year old honey that's still edible. So long as it's not got a bunch of contaminants in it (like pb smears) it will last that long. Mine WITH smears has lasted me 4 years so far.

[@whiteoakapiaries]

Great video

[@chuckcartwright1328]

Good to know, thanks. However, I like to eat crystallized honey in a sandwich, usually with PB. It doesn’t ooze out as much as the more fluid form.😊

[@mikeking7582]

I love crystalized honey.....reminds me of when my Grandma kept Bees

[@MN_Candy]

My dehydrator set to 100 degrees.... I'm gonna try that.

[@Tr1Hard777]

I put it in the windowsill.

[@jeanwhitehead8903]

How long is honey good for

[@ThePlasticBowl]

Technically speaking honey never goes bad.

[@jerryw6699]

only food that naturally never decays. They found honey under the pyramids that was perfectly edible.

[@thomasratliff9278]

Thank you :)

[@luvs4m_]

tysm!

[@Crookqt]

Stones

[@Thatonedude917]

Yeah you just need to break up the crystal structure that it has formed Also why would I want enzymes? It's just protein

[@DoitWithAlana]

They’ve found honey in Egyptian tombs 1000s of years old that’s still good. Sahd Guru says honey has a very similar molecule makeup to human blood.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

Thankx. but @#%! them enzymes 🔥 😂

[@ericaulbach]

So you can’t put honey in coffee or tea and expect any benefits is what you’re saying. Bummer.

[@1800BrickCity]

Why don’t you try ice tea/ice coffee… even the leaves you boil are less healthy then tea leaves steeped in cold water for a long period of time

[@danny_perez]

"Some people *like it* like this." Some people just want to watch the world burn

[@siryizzur]

Step 1.) Buy honey in a plastic bottle Step 2.) Heat up the plastic so that you get an extra dose of microplastics when you eat it Step 3.) Wonder why you’re sick and depressed all the time

[@nwstraith]

A su vi would be great then
