Dehydrated foods...

[Wiredog8]

I recently bought some dehydrated food samples from EFOODS.COM.
This morning, the wife and I had Tortilla Soup.
It was very good. Taste was suprisingly pleasant.
Soup was not runny, it had substance to it.
Thinking about ordering more after Christmas.

This is good to know, have you tried any of the mountain house brand? I am thinking of grabbing some from the outdoor store, if it tastes good then I might make a big order for some on the next payday they claim that their #10 cans are good for 20+ years.

Powerwagon after some research you are right about the #10 cans. They can perserve food up to 25 years which I thought was very good to know.

I have a friend with a LARGE family who regularly buys in bulk. She states that the only problem with the #10 cans is that once they are open, you gotta use it or loose it. She said menu planning is a must or you will have waste.
Just some info for consideration.

How about Wise Foods? They come in 2-Serve Packets.

Why not just do your own? It is a lot cheaper

My main problem is space. I live in a 66 square meter condominium. No terrace to dehydrate the foods. I am lousy (so far) at canning and preserving.

 

[Danil54grl]

why do you say you are lousy at it?

The first time I tried to can was
peaches. . it was a disaster. So I can understand your frustration.

Tried making Korean Kimchi... after 3 months, the thing was spoiled (and I had put this in the ref.... )

And Kimchi once made, isn't supposed to spoil if kept at a low temp....

Hope this helps. I have made sauerkraut, but never Korean Kimchi
