vigilant20 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Great to see you here, Lynn!! Oh yay! I didn't realize you were here too. Now I have two FV friends identified That youtube link is dangerous, I tell ya! That's how I got hooked too. I'm trying to get my mum interested now. My parents spend their weekends at their cottage and I'm convinced dehydrated foods is the best option for them there...lol. Quote Link to comment
Jori Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Cooked bacon is risky because of the oil. It will go rancid. Cook and freeze it (fast freeze individually first) which is what I do. Explain how to fast freeze, please. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Lele Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Lay them out on a large flat cookie type sheet do not let them touch each other and place in the freezer. After they are frozen you can wrap in wax paper 1 bacon strip role wax paper over then place next bacon strip, then role paper again until all are wrapped. Place them in a zip lock or vacuum bag. By having them not touching each other on the cookie sheet they freeze faster. Or at least that is how I do it. By wrapping them it is easy to pull out 1 or 2 at a time as needed, like when you want just 1 to add to a dish for flavoring. Quote Link to comment
cheles2kids Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Explain how to fast freeze, please. Thanks I've always called it 'flash' freezing. I do this alot with berries, just throw them out onto a cookie sheet and leave until they just begin to freeze, then take them out and Foodsaver them. This keeps my vacuum sealer from crushing them.

Mt_Rider Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good thread! I SHOULD be dehydrating the 25# bag of carrots [so cheap that way - ask for the 'juicing' carrots and wait til they have a shipment that is not all forked and difficult!]. But the past two and a half weeks have been NON-STOP. HEY! How did I get allll of that in my schedule???? MtRider [...gonna have hairy carrots at this rate... ] Quote Link to comment
