FYI... anything with seeds (including strawberries & tomatoes) will appear to be dry but could still be holding moisture IN the seeds. Whenever possible, de-seed your food or give them an additional 10 hrs over when the flesh appears dry.

Great vid! A little tip. You can use a spray bottle and mist the pieces with water on a baking sheet, kitchen towel, or drying rack. Leave to sit a couple minutes flip over, mist the other side. Also, you don’t have to use water, you could use stock, broth, wine, liquor, anything! The skin was only tough because it wasn’t quite reconstituted enough. I would probably have added a little more fat in the pan as well. Also, you could probably just add the dried pieces to the pan, pour in some of your liquid, boil it off until dry, and sauté them in the fat and residuals. Just some ideas, thanks for the videos!

Thanks for the tips.

Scott, I have an amazing zucchini basil soup recipe. I thought you’d enjoy it. (Share a little bit of my knowledge with you for a change). 2 lbs zucchini sliced crosswise (like coins) 1/4 cup olive oil (I prefer 1/8 cup) 3/4 cup chopped onions 2 cloves of garlic chopped or grated 1 tsp salt 3 cups water 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves Sautéed onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add zucchini and salt and sautée for 5 minutes. Add water and cover partially and cook for 15 minutes. Use immersion blender and blend until smooth. Add basil and continue to blend until incorporated. It’s amazing! I have one for carrots, too if you like this one.

That looks great! Thanks for sharing.

I think you need to rehydrate them longer and with more water. The dense skin takes longer to rehydrate. Drop them into a bowl of water for a few minutes then pat them dry before cooking.

I loved this video! One of the best out there on freeze drying and then using it. Please make more videos like this for freeze drying. I love all your videos.

@GardenerScott Год назад

Thanks. I am planning more videos like this as I learn to use it.

@diannajones4669 Год назад

Thank you, I have learned a lot from you. I found for my zucchini muffins that just putting the fd zucchini in with extra water worked really well.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions!!

Thanks for the info! I plan to grow some zukes for the first time next year!

G'day, Wanted to share a 'trellis' idea I'm going to try - mattress springs. Currently, I have jute netting horizontal to the ground to keep my potato plants off the ground. I have happier plants. Since the kids went to live with their dad and his fiancee full-time, I have excess furniture. So, am collapsing the mattresses down into the padding and the springs. Padding will become a quasi carpeting, and I realised the internal springs would be a great replacement for the jute netting. Supports the plants. Keeps animals from digging up seedlings. I can crawl over it for weeding. I'll let you know how it goes 👍

@GardenerScott Год назад

Interesting idea. I look forward to hearing about it.

@kerriism Год назад

Thank you so much for the video 😀 I’m going to use your suggestions. Definitely will remove the skin.

@carolclarkson4859 Год назад

Enjoyed your video! Thank you. We have a freeze dryer and need to do this. Love our freeze dryer. Great ideas.

@heidiclark6612 Год назад

Thank You for this video. I have been curious about how vegetables really come out using a freeze drier.

@brianseybert2189 Год назад

You made me hungry for some fresh grilled zucchini.

@lizchattin7016 5 месяцев назад

I like these ideas. Tough? It doesn't look like you rehydrate it enough? Maybe soak it longer? I'm going to try all these ideas.

@lukealexander4512 Год назад

Great video! Right now I only have a dehydrator for sun-dried tomatoes, but would like to get a freeze dryer in the future. Another good recipe is zucchini fries with ranch.

@Kimber261 Год назад

I really wish I could afford a freeze dryer. they look like a very good tool.

@dartagnantaft5918 Год назад

I had the same problem with the skin on yellow squash and had to cut the skin off to use them.

@NewsfromtheGrove Год назад

That was really smart! Thank you.

@lisarodrigues4272 Год назад

great tutorial.

@LLAMA-LLAMA Год назад

Great idea to weigh it to know how much water to add in! This is a bit of an odd question but have you noticed any significant change in your power bill since using your freeze dryer? Glad to see you’re having fun experimenting with it! Great video, thank you.

@GardenerScott Год назад

I haven't noticed a significant change. From what I've seen a typical batch adds about $2 to the bill.

@kycalm Год назад

Thank you for the video. I just came across your channel. I am a new subscriber. Trying to figure out what all to do with my abundance of zukes. My freeze dryer is waiting!

@GardenerScott Год назад

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

@Latebloomershow Год назад

Great to meet you last night on the zoom! Sounds great! Do you recommend your mic? Thumbs up. No freeze dryer.

@GardenerScott Год назад

Thanks, Kaye. It was good to see you too. I do recommend my mic. It's been great. A Comica Boom X-D.

I'm waiting for my freeze dryer. Could I prefreeze my garden zucchini to freeze dry later? I've dehydrate enough grated and spiralized, but I want to freeze the squared and maybe the planks. I can a zucchini bread jam and a marmalade.

@EatMiMeat 26 дней назад

Yes, you really want to prefreeze what you put in freeze dryer. I am filling freezer with food I want to freeze dry when time allows.

Dude, you're killing me with the misuse of that amazing mixing bowl! That is a classic Pyrex Cinderella bowl. The handles are designed to be a pouring lip as well. You might as well have turned the Pyrex cup sideways, when you poured in the water, instead of using the pouring lip of the cup. Have you never wondered why the handles are different sizes? The one that was in your left hand would've been the right size to use for this.
