Testing the Cheapest food dehydrator on Amazon...let's try mushrooms

[@billyadams3407]

Love my Nesco dehydrator. Makes great deer jerky, and dried strawberries & bananas.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Awesome!

[@billyadams3407]

Hope to see you harvest some deer this winter, and make some jerky. Would love to see some hunting footage!

I now want to grow shiitake mushrooms just so I can do this! Great video thanks for sharing.

Hey Josh. Checking to see how you are doing after Carl passed away? I received news the gentleman I bought my farm from passed on Saturday. He was 85 and farmed his whole life. Big farmer hands. Taught me a lot in the 3 years I knew him. The news really hit me hard. He was the grandfather/father figure I did not have in my life. The epitome of what a man is. Great work ethics (drove his tractor and worked on his farm to the day he passed) and truly loved and cared for his family. I was fortunate to have him in my life for the time I did. I’m flying out to TN for funeral today. Hope you are doing good. Take care.

I have an older model one. It’s amazing. Don’t discard the stems! Dry them out the crush them into a fine powder. It’s great for adding a kick to soups.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man....lot's of folks pointed that out! GRRR...next year!!

[@stevenward4344]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

[@jdbfortney]

I've had a Nesco for over 20 years. Works great, easy to clean.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

I had one of those type of dehydrators and I was not fond of it. I used to dry basil in it and it didn't really hold that much, and took way to long to dry. I found that using my electric oven on it's lowest setting, and the door cracked open, was a lot faster, and you can do a lot more at once. Our oven has an indirect heating element in the bottom. If yours is a regular type (you can see the element, just cover the lower rack with foil to keep the stuff from getting scorched during the time the element comes on to maintain the temperature. I put whatever I was drying (herbs, fruit slices, fruit leather, jerky) either directly foil on the racks, on cookie sheets, or on bread/cake racks on cookie sheets. The lowest temperature setting is usually 170 degrees F, but I never had a problem with anything getting "cooked" (especially with the door cracked open). Not complainin', Josh. Just reporting my experience.

[@beautifulchaos7041]

I loved my Nesco☺️ My kids loved the fruit roll-ups.

[@se7encureton]

Iv already been subbing to your channel but hell friend when it comes back to a search and it’s you that’s a win sir Thanks much

[@papawnanabubby5005]

I had a Ronco dehydrator. Cheapest of the cheap. No fan, just a heating element in the bottom, either off or on. Worked great! Wish I had another one.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

This one works great!

[@SpencerFine]

The stems can be it up small in cold processor. Make into mushroom soup.tastes good and no waste. ☺

[@singleman1986]

Personally, I loved the smell of dehydrating 'Shrooms, ('til the badges' caught up with me). My son asked, "what's that smell Dad"? "That's the smell of money boy".....LOL.

[@Dewey_Boondye420]

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

We're gonna do a bunch of apples and bananas next month

[@shieldsvalley]

Great video! I have a dehydrator just like that & it works great. I want to know how to grow those mushrooms, do you teach that?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

jump on the channel and search mushrooms....we'll also be shooting another vid on how to plant them in about 2 weeks! Stick around!

[@WKMG365]

I've had the Nesco American Harvest dehydrator for years now. I use it a lot, fruit, veg, jerky, herbs...just keeps on going.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep mine too...I think we have 3 now....lol can't find them all ...but we've got them hahhahaha

[@RockingCHomestead]

Never have thought to dehydrate mushrooms. Very cool. Love dehydration ripe bananas but you like said they stick like crazy to the trays.

[@playgrounddolls7766]

Can do in simple oven with a bit (1-3cm) opened door (like trap spoon etc) . we did apples all childhood like that.

[@tommymiller6531]

Josh ,how log are they good for in the jars

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Theoretically indefinitely since they should be free of moisture

[@hillbillybackwoods]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer With a oxygen packet, maybe.

[@jwwilliams]

Cool. Never thought of dehydrating mushrooms before.

[@mikecook8147]

Nesco is a GOOD brand. Their cookers, instead of heating from the bottom, heats from the side. They cook a turkey wonderful...and chili, soups...you get the drift. Amazon sells them...6qt, 12qt(convection), and 18.

[@dvddpr]

Beef jerky is one of my favorite snacks but its expensive. I kinda want to get a dehydrator and pick up London Broils when they go on sale. Slice them real thin and make jerky that way.

[@brianjohnson3795]

If you are doing smaller mushrooms like the white button. They can get REALLY SMALL. You can use the screen insert to keep them from falling through.

[@SquareOneFarms]

We use the same dehydrator and haven't had a problem with it through many hours of dehydrating. Nice informative video Josh, good work

[@ChasedRabbit]

This is a really well made video, you did a great job explaining everything

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

We've had a Nesco for years! My husband loves it for venison jerky, we recently purchased a Cabela's dehydrator and are really loving that one as well, it seems to be more efficient.

yep...it's got a fan in it...not loud

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Have the same dehydrator lobe it We still use it but went out and purchased a large dehydrator from Cabelas for large amount of food dehydration.

[@nyag1764]

So... I'm having a bit of a time with mine...takes nearly 8 hrs to dry thinly cut fruit like bananas. HOWEVER! I've only used it once and I'm not giving up on it!!

[@jkhenderson1]

I'm a little bit behind the ball. Just bought my first Instapot. I have the itch to dehydrate now! So cool!

[@mikecox3659]

Enjoyed the video ... the stems are a great add for making stocks and sauces ... all the best!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man...somebody else said that too! Wish I would have known before I tossed them! Didn't even think about it

[@kianekeo4644]

Great information! I just ordered mine today thanks to you! Can’t wait to use it!

Finally received my dehydrator and I made two batches of beef jerky and it turned out fabulous! Great machine and worth the price. Thanks again!

[@rickebert399]

You can take those stems and cut them in half boil them to make us talk and then freeze the stock

[@bustertim5333]

Great video Josh u do a great job keep up the great videos woooooo

[@brettgordon8142]

I've found when cleaning the racks to soak in a cloth washing powder with enzymes and rinse,They come out spotless this work's especially well when using wet marinades

[@RandyTillman20]

Coming to this video a little late.... how is it running 2 years later? Quality?

[@OldHickory7]

Thanks, I immediately took it all apart and put it in the dishwashing machine. But didn't realize where to put that thick fruit roll up plastic thing when I put it back together. I didn't take a good look at how it was in the box. I was going to put that fruit roll up thing on the very bottom. That would have been a mistake. And there is nothing about assembly whatsoever in the instructional manual. I just bought a cheap one, Roswill brand,at Wal-Mart, it's simular though, fyi.

[@diydanvapes]

Love it man. Keep it ip, well keep watchin

[@lorenledebuhr1004]

Nice job Josh. Keep it up

[@hillbillybackwoods]

Those are not dry yet....If you put them like that in a bag or mason jar. They will mold. They need to be able to be crumbled when picked up not like rubber like yours.

[@mr.zardoz3344]

Mushrooms have umami flavor. Our 5th taste sensation(sweet, salty, bitter, sour)

[@tootstoyou1]

How long did they dehydrate for?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

6-10 hours or so...just use common sense...you'll learn your dehydrator and you'll learn how thick to cut things for optimal drying

[@petermavus4131]

Had to get a glass of water after this vlog I was dehydrated.WOOOOOOO Thanks for the demo Josh AS a nurse you probably know mushrooms are great for your immune system and since dehydrated lasting through the winter this is a great food,,,,,maybe better than a Flu shot
