I’ve been here for some time, and I don’t often comment, but I have to acknowledge the cleanliness of your home. I see so many that need to take the time to clean up and when I see a clean house it impressive. Thank you for bringing back what was once normal
Thank you so much!
So true I’m fairly new but your kitchen & home look so clean. I hate watching some that cook in pans I want to clean for them.
@@amandamodin4912 Oh absolutely Amanda!!! Sometimes I wonder if it is hygienic to be cooking in some of the pots and pans and the grottiness of their stoves is beyond me. I love my stove to be clean all the time. Michelle
Girrrrl, I have been trying to find someone who can talk about freeze drying, show the food, cook and taste it without rambling. THANK YOU! You are straight to the point, easy to understand, you stay focused on the subject and your LOVE bursts through the screen. I LOVE your channel and I have subscribed. You are so down-to-earth, genuine honest and amazing! Thank you for keeping it real 👍🏽.
Yes!!
I am a 75 year old woman who has lived in California for 50+ years. I just discovered your channel through one acre homestead with Becky. I love your channel but most of all I love you. I was born and raised in Michigan. I left in 1970 but my family is still there as well as my heart. The sound of your voice is music to my ears. Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep on watching. Love love love you!
I feel the same way about her voice. When Renea speaks I get homesick. I feel like I am in the same room with a friend I’ve known my whole life.
I live in California too. Love freezdrying
if you are going to use those large bags consider putting 4 patties and oz absorb in bottom of the bag and seal 1/2 way down the bag, then add 4 more burgers and oz absorb and seal the top of the bag.
Good use of those big bags. I do this with many items.
Thanks for the video!!....i rehydrate my meat in broth, wine, or beer for extra flavor!!👍👍
I am a new Harvest Right owner. Had no idea raw meats could be freeze dried. Great video...and I also am a newcomer to your channel.
First video I’m watching. I like this lady!!
My husband and i recently bought our retirement property. My favorite house plan so far has a “study” off the kitchen. Nope! It’s going to be a big kitchen closet. All of my extra do dads including a freeze dryer. I can’t wait.
I have access to a freeze dryer and never knew you could do things like this. I've searched around and read that wild meat does really well in the freeze dryer. I then started thinking about how much easier it would be to make pemmican if you freeze dried the moose meat before grinding.
Anyway, thanks for the video!
I'm genuinely impressed with how much you know about freeze drying! You clearly know exactly what you're doing. Great job!
Just recently found your channel. Love your spirit. What a great tip using a canning ring to make uniform patties. Thank you.
I think you gave the best explanation of using a freeze deyer ive ever seen
Great idea with shaping the patties with a canning ring. Loving your videos!
You ma'am are quite the content creator. I really enjoy the fact that you aren't pushing product or being glitzy, but very informative, keeping it light-hearted and getting straight to the meat and potatoes of the subject you are covering. Consider me a subscriber!
Sunday Renae Rewind! Brian was here studying freeze drying Meat/// Cooked or raw.
Thank you Renea for taking the time to go through the whole process with us.
If you place a small square of freezer paper on your cutting board you will be able to pick your patties up and peal off the paper once you have placed it on the freeze dryer tray.
Good Morning , Rena . You're such a blessing for others . You have taught us so much . Like canning veggies . Making jam and jelly . Dehydrating herbs. And now a fantastic video on freeze drying meats . The Lord Bless . You And Family .😇
I love my harvest right! So happy to see another TH-camr making videos with their freeze drier. I haven’t done any raw meat yet in mine. It’s been mostly prepared food that can be reconstituted and eaten. I have a lot of grass fed beef in my freezer that I will be freeze drying. Thanks for the video!
I don't have a freeze dryer yet so what I do is use a tuna can and separate them with wax paper and freeze them in a large freezer bag 5 each.
We enjoy sharing your channel. A wealth of knowledge & so many that need help & encouragement ..
Smart use of that lid for uniform sizing!
Renae, you are an incredible teacher. Thank you. I am getting a freeze dryer because of you. Thanks so much.
You will love it , Feel free to use my link in my description box for the freeze dryer.
Thanks so much.
Cool video. Smart idea using the lid cap to form the patties.
I don't think we will get a freeze dryer, but just in case I like to watch how it is done. I'm sure it will be so much more convenient to have it in your beautiful pantry than downstairs. I really like how organized you are, but it is still a happy place.
Mary at Mary's Nest puts little keepsake items here and there in her pantry and I thought that was so neat to have those little memories whenever she gets into her pantry.
Do you have keepsakes or items from your mom in your pantry? Maybe an apron or whatever? I like to hear about those kinds of things along with all the useful information.
Thank you and God bless you!
Some of you guys have inspired me to start my on channel. i had a stroke a few years back
i wanted to start a homesteading content. we have lots of animals but my left leg isn't to good so have to use a cane left hand doesn't work at all so walking around with a Camra while doing my chores just doesn't work. lol but as i was watching some of you guys freeze drying cooking, canning one day i thought what the heck i can cook and love cooking, canning and have a freeze dryer and love talking. lol i can put the camera on a tripod so I'm gonna do it i made three little videos just fooling round talking cooking shared on face book got great feed back so down loaded to you tube for a start pray for me pleas .

Great video. I just got my freeze dryer in April primarily for leftovers and drying herbs. I love it too! May try meat next. And interested in following your journey through the next few months. 😊
I just found you two wks ago. I’m just loving seeing you cook!
Nicely done. You covered all the steps from start to finish, to include preparing the food to eat. Also, nice pantry setup. I have mine setup in the basement. I converted my light sockets to outlets and installed some LED lights from Harbor Freight; that really brightened things up. One thing you may want to considered when labeling your bags is marking them "Raw" or "Cooked".
Thank you !! I like your vibes, greetings from Japan ❤
I’m so glad you’re doing this. And I hope when you get a number of components freeze dried that you do the freeze dried meals in a jar. So helpful and convenient.
I've wanted a freeze dryer for a long long time.. Blessings 💗
You are wonderful. I’ve tried 2 of your recipes for beef stroganoff, which is wonderful and we absolutely love your pressure canned green beans with the onion soup mix. It is just fabulous. Thank you for all the helpful hints and I’ll be watching. Glad to see you are freeze drying. Been thinking about getting a freeze dryer.
I love watching this show, your the best!!!!♥️
Greetings from East Texas! I’d SO love to have a Freeze Dryer. I think….😛. I have a Foodsaver, and Mylar bags for food storage. I’m a new Canner. I am newly Retired after 52 years in Health Care, with just under 40 as an RN.
I’m originally from Ohio. I remember my Grandma canning homemade jelly and jam. I SWEAR…she could make Blue Ribbon Jam out of grass from the front yard 😝.
My Dad was in the Military (Marines during Korea… then switched to the Navy). We left Ohio when I was about 4 1/2, and moved around my entire life.
I was always jealous of my Cousins, because they all stayed in Ohio and grew up there. Funny, but NONE of them ever learned to can or garden. Which is sad!
So I’ve taken up canning to Honor my Grandma and the other Elder Women of my family who are all gone now. Fulfilling a dream I’ve had forever.
Thank you for your great videos. I’m enjoying my Binging…
We ordered a Harvest freeze dryer. So excited. I'm new at this and rearing to get busy, busy.
Pro tip on the patty in the ring! Thank you so much!
So happy that you came up in my feed. I've been running out of freeze drying videos!
Thank you for the simplicity of the process.
I am so glad you are doing a video on freeze drying I been wanting to learn more about it. Thank you I just love all your videos
Outstanding learning video! Thank you so much! I’m getting a freeze dryer and trying to learn as much as I can before it arrives. You are so enjoyable to watch and learn from!!!
I just found your page. Popped up when I was looking for something regarding our freeze dryer. I guess it was meant to be! I need our focus to be on meat since I am much healthier eating primarily meat. I do not do well with carbs. I am new to freeze drying meat raw, so this will be interesting. Looking forward to catching up with your other videos. Thank you.
You are a very hard worker. Thank you for sharing you're gifts!
Your the best u- Tube channel out there 😀 love from Indiana
Wow, thank you!
Morning
Hi, Renea! Newbie here. I just found your channel this past weekend and binged watched! I enjoy your videos and I look forward to seeing more 👍
Welcome!!
My sealer has never sealed hot enough from harvest right. So I use a flatiron. Works great
Mine does not work well either so I use my vacuum seal machine and that gives a beautiful secure seal. Iron will do a perfect job too.
@@LittleVillageHomestead question on your big daddy cast iron skillet… was it preseasoned when you got it? If so how did you treat it? Did u get that off and season it or leave it and then season? And how please!
Hi Renea, I’ve been wanting a freeze dryer, but I have to wait till I move. Wonderful video and information. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!
I would use smaller lids for the sausage and larger for the burgers, but that's just me.
Love this method of food storage!!!
First time watching a video of this sort. Your presentation is excellent. I’ve never done canning so I want to see if this is something that I could do well. Thank you!
I use a canning ring for my sasuge too. Your the first one I have seen do it to.
Rene, what a cute and smart lady you are! What an awesome video! I'm so glad they put you on my suggested videos today. I'm a new subscriber! I've learned so much from this video and appreciate your making it. We have an upright freezer full of cheaper meats that will go freezer burning soon if we don't get busy freeze drying it. This will be perfect. You're not afraid to do things, and not afraid to share with others what you know. I'm going to freeze dry my meats, thanks to your suggestion, but make sure I mark it "raw", so I know if I need to cook it. We've home canned pork roasts and it's cooked, but want to make sure we know these will be raw freeze dried pork cubes. Thanks again!
Just bought grad fed beef yesterday 8 five pound chubs. Need to get that started. I was going to cook it first, now I will do what you did. Thanks
You don't actually have to have a sealer. I use a hair straightener rod. It works great. I just go back-and-forth on it until it seals up tight.
The best part is the charlie brown style jazz...i love it
This is really cool those were some huge sausage patties ....but this was really really cool I haven't seen anyone do this I haven't looked it up ..I just happened to see your video pop up and started watching it
Thank you 🇨🇦
AWESOME start to finish Renea! Thank you so much. Have a great day my friend.
It is a very happy place to be. you are very nice & learn a lot
I've mixed the sausage & burger together & it's phenomenal .
Awesome Renae!!! I would be freeze drying everything too. How exciting.
Thanks for the great video Renee! I'm probably the only one that spelled your name right lol. It's my name too and have seen all of those spellings for my name.
I will get a FD one day. I'm still saving for one. Your videos help me prepare.
Thank you so much for being so detailed ion explaining how you FD meat. . I was asked the other day, is the meat suppose to be cooked, I was like yes it does. So thank you for letting me know, that it doesn't have to be cooked when you FD it. I really enjoyed your video and I do have to comment on how tidy your home is........organized cans is so my thing. Thank you very much!!!
Hey, how's it going? I just recently found your channel and am starting to do some canning. That's how I found your channel was searching how to can. I can't wait for more freeze dryer episodes, I have a lot of questions about it, but I'm not going to sit here and overwhelm you with them all.
ty so much I whoul like to see a video on trouble shooting if you have an issue with the dryer
I never thought to use canning rings to make meat patties uniform. Genius.
Just found your channel. I love how you specifically describe the procedures. I am new to freeze drying and am still unsure of how many oxygen absorbers to use per package. Could you elaborate on how to use and how many oxygen absorbers should go in a package. Thank you
You only need one 300c o2 absorber for most bags. For really large bags or 5 gallon bags you’d need more. We’ve never used more than one o2 absorber for any bag offered by harvest right. Their largest is an 11x14, I believe.
You can squeeze out most air before sealing and you will notice the bag sucking into itself over a day or two with the absorber sucking out the o2.
I want a freeze dryer so bad 😊
Probably put some water in the pan after the searing and cover with a lid... would make sure its fully saturated
Yes, Please make more FD vids!
What a great idea
Easily convinced to follow! Thankyou for your videos and time!
Just awesome I sure could have used one of those, just not available in my time. Enjo it while you can. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💞🥰🤗
Great video!
Love, loved this video!! I’ve been looking at the Freeze Dryers for a while now and seeing you can raw meat, saving freezer space has sold me! I wonder how seasoned meats would be as some of it would be my preference. Thank you for sharing this video with us!
You can season the meat and it would be delicious.
We’ve freeze dried seasoned taco meat, chili, spaghetti with meat sauce, store bought canned chicken, tuna, we did biscuits and gravy, (in separate bags to be mixed at time of consumption) etc. you can freeze dry most things that aren’t made primarily of fat. They can have “some” fat as long as it’s very little and well dispersed. When we fd fatty meats like pork roast we rinse the meat, after cooking, with hot water. It gets the fatty residue off and freeze dried beautifully. Rotisserie chickens.. the list goes on and on. I’m going to make a big batch of beef stroganoff soon and freeze dry it too. I LOVE our freeze dryer.
Golly that's fascinating!! I'm not sure we can get freeze driers in New Zealand but it looks soon cool. I've just joined your channel I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
Thanks and welcome to my channel.
Could you mix up a meatloaf, freeze dry, rehydrate, and then bake it? By the way, thank you for showing the detail. Most don't and I can never figure out how you use something. I almost have my husband talked into buying one!!
I have a harvest right dryer but have yet to use it ... Thank you
I love your channel. Love to watch your channel.
With freeze dried raw meat do you store on the shelf in the bags? Thanks for all the useful information.
Another new subscriber here. Great video. I will be binge watching. 😍
I have been wanting to get a freeze dryer just like yours - some day
Great video! What size is your freeze dryer?
Great video. Thanks
I have been with you for a long time..enjoy your videos..
Thanks for the video! Very informative. Enjoyed
I am still very new to dehydrating and have been having a ball dehydrating veggies and fruits for longterm storage. I read some where you can dehydrate meats to make jerky. What is your view on it? Have you ever tried it? Do you have a video on it?
Small kitchen and I don't know how if I can make room for canning and room for freeze-drying for the freezer any ideas how to take care of it
Hi Renea. Does this raise your electric bill much? Have enjoyed your videos for several years. You're a kind person sharing your surplus groceries with others.
I wish more channels would put fast forward to music on and let us watch everything. Thank you
Where can you buy the table your Freeze Dryer is sitting on? Thanks, Marjorie
I have a lot of meat to go through before November when my next steer goes to butcher. Can you do an update video on your freeze dried meat? Im not sure yet if Im going to use the meat after it's freeze dried. How long does it take to rehydrate and the texture of it once cooked.
SOOO..I did actually JUST see your channel (today is 1/10/23) and I am thrilled at how well you explain everything and you get to the point! I have had my freeze dryer for 2 months now and love to see what others have learned and how they do things! Love the canning jar lid idea and I am not sure if I missed it, but what kind of roast was that? Was it a chuck roast? Thank you for your time! I just subbed by the way!
I used an English cut roast. I think the only difference between the two is the marble is more in the English roast.
Love your technique! Glad
How long will the meat keep sealed in mylar with oxygen absorbers? Does the fat content of the meat matter for long term storage? Thank you
Hi Renea! I'm new to your channel and so happy to have found you. I love your videos. You're very informative and at the same time fun to listen to. I was born in Lansing, Michigan and raised north of Battle Creek in a small town called Vermontville. My husband and I recently bought a Med. Harvest Right and are still leaning how to use it. Have you tried freeze drying spam? We tried that ...yesterday....and it's still going.... on 30 hours now....
Have you used any of your meats from your long term storage? I have just learned that the fat can hold moisture and slowly releases it over time which can spoil the meat. Ugh! We have freeze dried a bunch of NY steaks and am discovering that they are not dry all the way. We will run them a second time but the fat is an issue that I do not quite know how to handle. Most meats have at least some fat in the meat itself. I see you are doing sausage so have you used any that have been done a long time?
Wonderful video! ❤ What is the shelf life of freeze dried food after opening the mylar bag?
You need to take out what you need to use and reseal the rest.
Great video Renea. I’ve been too chicken to freeze dry raw meat. You just gave me a shot of courage to give it a go. I have lots of cooked meat so I have to make sure I write “raw” on the label so I can tell the difference. Would you mind doing an update in a month on the meat? I’m curious to see how the fat in the sausage pattie’s stores. Your burger looks very lean so I’m sure it will be great. I surely will try this so I can further diversify my food storage.
Absolutely. You know Harvest Right tells you that it is fine to freeze dry raw meat and really it is better because you are not obligated to one dish.
@@LittleVillageHomestead you are the one that gave me the courage to pressure can and now you give me the courage to freeze dry raw meat. You are such a good teacher.
