HOW TO DEHDYRATE VEGETABLE STOCK & MAKE VEGETABLE BROTH POWDER - Shelf stable stock without canning

[@lindachandler2293]

Oh, darlin', you can dehydrate almost anything! Love that you're telling people how to do this. The older I get, especially in the last few months, the less I like depending on freezers and canning jars. Granted some things don't rehydrate as others, but in a pinch, they are a treasure. My dehydrators are going nearly all the time.

[@wannellalawson4001]

You are right Linda. She is so good

[@patfranks4024]

My small freezer quit working. Everything had to be tossed out. So glad I had dried some items as well as froze some. Plus I keep in mind what if we lose electricity. Love dehydrating and powdering.

[@lindachandler2293]

@@patfranks4024 If I lose power for something that might be long term, my outdoor bbq pit will be going non stop canning and every sheet I have will be spread on our metal roof covered in dehydrating things. The house is partially underground so it only a step stool height to get up there.

A trick I learned a few years ago, if you have cling wrap, cover the top portion of the cup on your grinder or blender before you put on the lid (doesn't work with bullets where the blade is in the screw-on portion), so that your powder stays inside the cup more so there's less clean up.

[@tuckertruckerpatriot312]

Thanks for this tip!

[@AdesinaCat]

I know this is an older video, but for this, I would use my slow cooker to reduce that down. That is how I make all my broths. Put whatever I am using in the crock pot, cover with water, and let cook for about 24+ hours.

[@sharonsopczynski1192]

When I first started purchasing dehydrator, food processor and a coffee grinder. I went to good will and other second hand stores because of limited income until I could purchase 1 item at a time new without taking to much income from budget. I thought I would mention this because trying to get everything at once is overwhelming. I also used just a bullet for powdery. Love these videos never thought about a paint brush thanks for all the great tips.

[@lexiburnham796]

Preparing doesn't have to be expensive. It is what you make it. People who can learn how to survive off the land, will survive a lot longer than most. How do you learn? You obviously have KZbin - watch videos and go outside and practice what you saw. - learn to make a filtered water system with a 2 liter soda bottle and dirt, rocks and other outdoor materials. - learn how to build a fire. - learn how to make candles out of items typically found in every house - learn how to make a small room heater with a clay pot, cupcake pan and dollar store candles - learn why boiling water is important and why you can't just drink Lake /ocean/creek water. - learn how to build a small wood stove with a plastic step stool and a little concrete. - look around your yard and your family/friends yards or local state park. Try to identify the trees, shrubs, leaves, vines, and other earth materials. What are they, they you eat them or are they poisonous. - everyday you eat - start cutting your meals in half. Take your usual sized meal,put it on a plate and split it into 2 equal portions. Then actually eat the leftovers, don't throw them away in a week. Training your body to eat less food now, while be extremely beneficial. - learn your area. What is around your home, your neighborhood, your subdivision, your town. Figure out what is available and you can get to if you only have a half a tank left in your vehicle. Don't go further out than half a tank, so you'll be able to get what you need and have the other half tank available to go back home. Figure out what is within bicycle range and what is within walking distance. For example: we have a lot of tornadoes where I live. So it's important to me to know where the nearest public tornado shelter. I don't just know where it is, but I've figured out the best way to get there in a vehicle and on foot. I know the route I take during the day and a different route I'd take at night. - once you've gotten used to cutting your meals in half and eating them twice. Every meal, every day, cut in half. Once you become accustomed to that, start cutting your 2 halves into half. Making 4 meals instead of 2. - do you have a flat iron? If not they are super cheap. Learn how to use a flat iron to reseal bags, like potato chips. Which extends the shelf of that food. - do you have a chili pot or stock pot? Learn how to reuse your pickle jars and pasta sauce jars and salsa jars and other glass jars by cleaning, sterilizing and then water bath canning. What can you put in glass jars using water bath to make it last longer? -stsrt going to yard sales and thrift stores and dollar stores to buy everyday things. That box of kraft macaroni is the same whether you buy it at the dollar store or the fancy grocery store. - buy toilet paper from the dollar store. It's not great, but if s.h.t.f you'll be glad you have something in your closet to use other than a wash cloth you then have to clean or your hand 🤢. - learn how to build a rainwater catch and filter system using 5 gallon buckets. Last time I looked you could still get food grade 5 gallon buckets at tractor supply for less than $4 a piece. Go talk to your local grocery store (foodland, food Town, piggy wiggly) anywhere that has a deli/bakery. Ask them if they have any used and empty 5 gallon buckets they are getting ready to throw away. Then ask if you can have a few. (Don't horde-pass your knowledge along and help save the next person)! - stop eating out. Everytime you get a craving for fast food - pull that money out of your account (I'm 1 person and used to eat fast food almost daily. An average size meal can easily cost you $20.) Go to your bank and take 20 out of atm. Choose instead to support local and find out when your local a l farmers market it. They are usually once a week in just about every town every where. Spend that $20 cash instead on something from the local farmers. If you see someone selling corn for example and you love corn. Buy $10 yo $20 worth and ask the farmer how they suggest storing this food for long term storage. - if you are like me you'll have $50 to $100 every week that you would have easily spent on fast food or restaurant eating out food. That's money that can go towards several farmers (who help produce all this wonderful food we eat every day). You're still getting food from that money, but it's much much healthier and you've gained some knowledge from each person you bought from in regards to properly storing this food. - one of the weeks you have this extra food money, buy one of those $40 knock off food savers. It does the same thing as the expensive one. They break down quickly if they are used a ton, but the expensive ones break down just as often. - learn how to vacuum seal things, like rice and beans, flour, sugar, etc. - learn how foods that "say" the expire in 1 year, can actually be stored a lot longer, if we just put some effort into repackaging them the right away. - start looking at labels, specifically the ingredients list. If you don't know what something is, give it a Google. Once your learn what that item is, if you're ok with eating it, go to the next ingredient name you don't know and Google and so on and so forth. If you get to an ingredient and you realize, "yuck" I don't want that in my body, immediately put the food item down. See if there are any alternatives, if so check the alternative label (those can be just as bad). Just cause something says "free range" or "organic "...does not always guarantee that's what your getting. Local farmers markets can tell you what pesticides, if any were sprayed on their food and what fertilizer, if any they use. Your local farmers can tell you how the food was grown or raised, what they fed it, how they harvested/picked it or how the meat was processed. They can tell you every step of their items from idea to your dinner table. - most of that information is hidden from us in the big box grocery store. - learn what items the off grid surviver considers absolutely essential and once you've cut your normal size dinner into 4 portions. Start buying half the amount of food you used to buy. If you normally spend $100 a week at the grocery store, you should now comfortably be able to spend just $50 and have plenty of food. -use that extra grocery store money to start buying those survival must have items.(keep in mind - in a s.h.t.f. scenario a $20 knife is better than no knife. Get the necessities but purchase the ones in your affordable category. If you can only afford a $20 pair of heavy winter gloves from Walmart, then buy those. Don't think you have to do without because you can't afford the $200 pair of fancy gloves.) - learn how to filter water with a bucket or a 2 liter bottle or dirt and clay and practice it often! - there are so many other things I could add to this list. But the point is, don't let money or a lack of money keep you from surviving! Every day you wake up is a day you can learn at least 1 new thing about surviving. If s.h.t.f happens, maybe you find someone on the road who had a ton of money but knew nothing about survival. Maybe that becomes a day you can pass theknowledge on and you can teach someone else the basics of survival! May the Lord bless all of our eyes to see, our ears to listen and our minds to learn. May He bless our mouths to only speak words of kindness and helpfulness. May He bless us with strength and courage for the times ahead of us. May He bless our hearts with enough love to show compassion to those around us. May he bless us with the willingness to share the knowledge we've learned with anyone and everyone! 🙏 Amen!

@@lexiburnham796 Wow Lexi!!! You put your whole heart into helping others and it shows.There are so many things I didn't know and didn't even know I didn't know! I'm going to print out this list and keep it close to me, to remind me that every step matters, even the baby ones. My biggest problem with your suggestions, is the one about cutting your meals in half. Then half again! Seems to me that if you're in shape, not counting that 19 pounds I still need to take off in order to fit my frame, why would you want to starve yourself for something that might not happen, at least for a good while yet? My theory is that the moment the bull droppings start flying around is the time to cut meals in half. Don't men need as much nourishment as they can get since for many their responsibilities will greatly increase as they take on more physically demanding things? Sorry I lost the plot on that question, I trust you will get it. Lexi, you have saved lives, of that I have no doubt, at least you gave them a fighting chance. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your caring and compassion for your fellow man. May Peace be upon you!

I recently discovered the beauty and wow-ness of hiking; only day hiking for the time being. For the multi day hikes I'm looking forward to doing I also discovered a different type of wow: either the price of the proper nutritional freeze dried meals or the tad more underwelming wow (actually a "meh" would be more accurate) for the "cheap" and cheerful... although after a full day of hiking I'm sure picky eater habits are probably not gonna be a problem. I love cooking and prefer home cooked food above any other but lugging around an extra 10 pounds of fresh ingredients isn't really all that feasible though... And then I found your channel!

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. It's just my opinion but with the electricity used simmering all day and another 18 hours in the dehydrator, it doesn't seem to be very cost effective to dehydrate broth or stock. I realize there is a benefit to it, especially with storage, but I'm not sure I could justify the cost for my budget. I would probably can the broth and dehydrate the veggies, then powder and use for flavoring.

It's great that you use something different, but it's not the same product in the end - and for those who are camping/hiking, having a ready-made broth is easier than making broth while out on the trail.

Watching this video brings up a number of questions. Don't hate on me, because I am new and contemplating learning dehydrating. My question revolves around all of this work and cost. Is the nutrition, flavor, and cost in energy and actual time all worth this in the end? Do the dehydrated vegetables add that much to a recipe? Again, I am new and learning and I had to ask. Been watching this channel the past few days and I'm really fascinated and learning a lot from this wise Lady.

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

If your only reason is cost, then no. If your reason is learning new kills, creating a pantry of shelf-stable foods for long-term storage, generating as little waste as possible, using up every last little bit for what it has to offer, knowing what is in your food, keeping alive old skills, then yes. The veg may not have a lot of nutrition left, but they still have flavor and can add to anything. Sure, you could feed them to your chickens or compost them, but if neither of those scenarios is something you're working with, you can do this.

[@susanmartin870]

Thanks a lot! Also, thanks for explaining it without a lot of "uptalking". It is sickening how many KZbinrs sound like they aren't sure about what they are saying because their statements sound like questions. To get even more flavor out of the vegetables, after straining them initially as you did, you could let them cool enough so you can pick up hand fulls of them and squeeze out the liquid still contained inside the vegetables. Or you could get a large spoon and press the vegetables as hard as you can to squeeze out more liquid which won't get out as much as the handful method but will get more than doing nothing at all.

Freeze dryers are a whole different process and yeah - cost way more.

Initially, holding down the button isn't great for your grinder because things need to be broken up first, and then you continually hold down. I have found it puts less stress on the machine over time.

This is the piece I was missing. A better way to use the veggies from making veggie stock. I've known about dehydrating pulp from juicing but never thought to dehydrate the vegetables even though we dehydrate eggshells and bone from chicken stock to amend soil for gardening.

I'm so glad you made this video because I wasn't sure of the ratio of powder to liquid! Great tutorial, Darcy, Thanx much!

[@shawnvandoren1796]

I admit to being a senior now but in from the 60's onward I have been composting with worms, dehydrating, making stock, etc. I don't know if newer blenders make this possible but for decades I have been using my blender with a small mason jar rather than the blender container for grinding just about anything I had just a small quantity of.

Wow! Very cool. Blessings, julie

Love love this idea! ❤

[@carolmalko615]

Darcy, this is a great video. Thank you SO much. You explain everything so well.... how to and why/why not to do something. You're a great teacher!

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Thank you so much!

[@cluckieschickens]

You can use your food saver with the canning lid attachment to suck even more air out of that powder jar.

Love that Texas spoon rest!

It was my grandmother's

Very interesting, if I ever get a solar oven, I will give this a try.

[@ginettecourchesne8225]

Thank you so much for all your recipes

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

My pleasure 😊

[@01Lenda]

I just use the veggies from making my stock and make soup with a bit of stock and the veggies. Tasty.

[@Rosemary-lg8sf]

i have done this after veggies dried I add it to my sour cream dip it was amazing!

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

It's yummy, isn't it?!

Wanting to create shelf stable flavor as grid down insurance,. Realistically, not feeling like have the time for so labor intensive of a fully scratch process, but oh would I like the resulting product in pantry! Am also just building solid, 1 year, pantry out. Have pasta-rice-legume bases covered. Securing dried veggies, staples & flavor options is next on my food security roadmap. Gotta have flavor! With supply chain issues & power interruptions becoming a risk, shelf stable options are a clear frontrunner. As a workaround, this video inspires me to trial turning a batch of low sodium, condensed, refrigerated, commercial vegi base into powder. Vacuum sealed in jar with moisture & oxygen absorbers, (and containing no meat products), seems like a viable solution for 1 year storage goals, (and may last longer). Vegi powders in general seem like low risk, cost effective, space-saving & quick cook time solutions. Very helpful tutorial helped me think through all the steps & tailor an option for a significant hole in my own scenario. Great pro tips & equipment recommendations as well! Put a chopper & metal glove in Amazon cart & saved other product links. Deciding between a brake bleeder & FS handheld vacuum sealer, so this was helpful there too. Thank you for sharing your skill & experience. Am so grateful & learning much from your practical sessions!

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Glad I could help! Tip: Don't use an O2 absorber and moisture absorber in the same jar. It inhibits the O2 absorber from working properly.

[@cliffordstewart1507]

Never seen this type of long term storage. Love it. Thank you!

I have a Excalibur. And have done tomatoe skins to make a powder. But haven’t tried the stock yet. I was a little intimidated. BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT LOOK EASY. I’m thinking this would be great for camping. ESP. If I do it in intervals, and keep adding to it. I do need to get the 2 preservatives you used to store it. Also I have dehydrated vegetables. But I’m so SAD , I just threw away a full load of onions from making onion stock. I have made garlic powder and onion powder with fresh . But never thought to use the waste , from cooking. I had cooked the onions for 2 days. Now I wish I had dehydrated for onion powder. Also I’m going to start saving the cooked veg. From doing roasted meats, pork and the roasted garlic . NOW I KNOW BETTER, ugh. Thank You so much. Def. Subscribed. And going to look at more of your videos. I really need to use my Excalibur to it’s potential. I have a question? I use a seal a meal to suck out the air. I’ve never bought those absorbers. Is that ok to still do it that way? THANK YOU SO MUCH👍

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

I don't use my vacuum sealer on powders. Powders shouldn't be kept for long-term storage, but powdered for a month or two. And because those jars of powder are gotten into often by me, I don't vacuum seal them. A few powders need help, and I just use the absorbers there. But vacuum sealing works, too - just use some kind of muffin paper or paper towel on the powder, to keep it from getting into your vacuum sealer. It can become like glue with moisture and hard to remove. Remember...veg done with meat harbor all the fat, which will then need to be stored in the freezer for safest storage.

[@cherylsigler]

The Purposeful Pantry THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

[@marthaadams8326]

I had recently made chicken broth and had used canning jars to put it in the freezer - WELLL, I wanted the jars - so using this method and TY for sharing. I have tried it straight as it was made - but this will work so much better.

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Just remember - it will need to be kept in the freezer for safest store, and the temp up to 165F

[@marthaadams8326]

@@ThePurposefulPantry TY, I might put it in the freeze dryer patch since it takes up so little space.

You scared me half to death when you got your dehydrating tray over touching the eye of your stove that was hot! I was so afraid you would melt the frame. Thanks for another fantastic video!

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

The heat doesn't permeate out much, and we were safe ;)

[@mrsp7324]

@@ThePurposefulPantry I have been busy canning this weekend and working around the hot eye was fresh on my mind while watching. LOL......don't ask me how I know to be extra vigilant. LOL

[@sharmeebradbury3263]

Just as an FYI..I have the same kitchen aid coffee grinder as you do, and mine came with the little clear plastic covers to put on the top before grinding besides the big cover that you use to press down to grind. I found out the hard way when I was grinding my dehydrated onions and it went all over everything like yours did.

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Mine didn't have it - that would be handy!

[@remirez2k3]

besides using for soup bases themselves a half teaspoon of this powder would work well for a hot veggie broth for winter time drinking

[@marygallagher3428]

Great video, thanks Darcy!

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Thanks, Mary!

[@Gollammeister]

If you simmer stock down you can concentrate it just remember to correctly dilute it in future

[@ArkhamNorth]

Even though there's really nothing left to the vegetable scraps after they've surrendered to the stock, you end up with a great source of fibre in that powder that you can add to your your dishes.
