    This is the thing that will make my decision easier. We prefer homecanned meats, and I own 2 dehydrators. Eggs are the only thing that I buy freeze dried. I just assumed dehydrated eggs would be inferior to the freeze dried. That's what I get for assuming! 🤣 a freeze drier is no longer a lingering wish! Thanks Heidi! You are the bomb! 💗

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I had assumed the same thing. I was so unimpressed with those Honeyville eggs that I had assumed these would be the same. Nope, these are way better. Not sure if it is because they use additive in their eggs to prevent clumping, or what it is but the quality of my own was far superior. Now it is the test of time and really, if they only hold their quality for 3 months, that would still be sufficient.

      @@RainCountryHomestead I'm new to pressure canning, but my take on storing dry egg would be to pull a HARD vacuum on the container.
      When I was a kid (60+ years ago) we would toss a lighted match into an opened jar of salmon eggs (fish bait) before slamming the lid on. Supposedly, the burning match used up all the oxygen and kept the remaining eggs fresh.
      Hey, it absolutely works for that purpose. Do you think it would be the same for powdered egg?

Until I get some replacements going, I'd love to have 2-3 jars of dehydrated eggs on hand.

    Before prepping for the famine, the most important thing is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Savior. He loved you so much that He gave His life for you by hanging in the cross and going to hell so that you wouldn’t have to! If you sincerely decide you want Him to be your Lord and Savior, simply tell Him you are sorry for your sins and that you want Him and if you are sincere, He will accept you and you will belong to the family of Jesus Christ! Best thing I ever did! Then, Read your Bible every day and pray to Him and He will guide you and help you!

    Do you have to turn the eggs into powder to store them long term? Can you store them in pieces?

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can store them in pieces if you prefer and then just powder as needed, if need be. Powdering first will mean they take up about half the amount of space as they would left in pieces and are ready for immediate use. Though I have yet to rehydrated pieces, the powder will rehydrate much quicker than pieces

    Another great video. I would like to make a light weight moisturizer for my face, do you have any suggestion? I have made your basic natural skin cream but have found that it is too heavy for my face, I live in a warmer climate also. I use it for the rest of my body and really like the way it works, just not for my face. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will also have to try dehydrating eggs, I think that would be great to have on hand for those times when you are making something and discover you don't have enough or any fresh to use.

    This is what I use as my "salt for everything but eating", (but if push comes to shove!😉) at tractor supply "Himalayan Nature" brand 100% H-pink salt chunks in a 8lb. bucket for animals at the cost of $11.20 before tax. (Labeled not for human consumption.) But for grass killing and scrubbing uses I love it just as great as any other but I can save money this way and hope someone else can to. Oh yeah! It's great for animals too! 😁😉😇👍

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I remember correctly, the only differences between the "food grade" salt and that for animals is that it is grittier. Redmond real salt is gritty anyway. That grit would not hurt anyone, just not fun to chop on! haha

      Sorry almost forgot, I bought 2 of the cheaper "cast iron" skillets. I think their ten inch. This is all I use them for: put a chunk of salt into the pan and put the other pan on top just like you were staking them to store. (Just make sure the handles are not over each other because you will be pinched and it's not fun. Ouch!) Then I just start rocking the top pan back and forth while I apply pressure, and according to how much speed and pressure I use, it works pretty quick and causes the least destruction to any other methods I've tried. Plus you don't loose any from "flying" away. Lol.

At the moment I'm buying local eggs but we always seem to run out. Powered eggs seem the answer and great for off season too. The best other tip was the fabric in with powder as I couldn't figure out what was going on with the food saver , it had been working so well. I've just invested in a finder to make powders and had that problem. Thank you for address it. You've saved me so much time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it. ❤️

Having dehydrated eggs on hand for these uncertain times, an emergency, camping, or any time really. This is info is so valuable!

      Just like with any raw food that one fully dehydrates, they should be shelf stable meaning no refrigeration is necessary.

I have already filled up a second jar and am thinking of starting a third

      If one was uncertain, they could freeze the powder just to be safe and it would still take up far less room in the freezer than what I have been doing with the 1/4 pint jars and two eggs per jar. I need to do the experiment though because it is important for people to have an idea of shelf life outside of freezing. I believe they will last plenty long but do not want to say that with certainty since I have not tested it yet
