okay so this morning is one of those repeat days and i have a second loaf of bread ready to
it's going to rise a little bit more before i bake it
good morning everyone this is tony from her homestead skills and as i said today
is going to be one of those let's do a little repeat day and i have some potatoes washed and
i've got this new little newfangled little gadget that will cut hopefully tiny little
tubes for me and uh so i'm gonna do as many let's see i've got one two three i've got a fourth
tray so i'm gonna do four trays of potatoes and then i'm going to do one tray of the
eggs you know and i'm just going to try and keep that dehydrator going as long as i can
so uh let's get to it so with this method i guess i just want to cut them into
probably one inch or sorry quarter inch type slices and let's see how well this works here
definitely better okay so we'll continue along here
and it certainly is faster than using my um french fry item
one two
and they seem to be just slightly smaller than oh i have to blanch these cannot
forget to blanch them i'm gonna go put a pot of water on the stove right now okay
my water's on the stove and meanwhile they should probably go back into some cold water
before i even attempt to put them on the trays
let's add some cold water to this
okay and that's just to stop everything from browning
so i finally took my very first batch of eggs off the dehydrator
and the texture hasn't changed at all and i'm going to just set that aside and use it separately
certainly will not throw them out but they don't seem to have the same texture as the raw ones
so
perfect little cubes better than i could have cut them okay
i could probably do the carrots this way as well and dehydrate carrots
that dehydrator is going to get a lot of use in the next little while before canning season
where my pressure canner will get a lot more use
okay what happened there
two left in this batch and when they're done i'll see if i can how many i can put on the tray and
how many more i want to peel i want to maximize the use of the dehydrator right now and since
i only have one egg trick or one tray that i can make eggs on the rest is going to go for potatoes
okay time to blanch
and it looks like i should be able to do this all in one bunch
i should definitely be able to get another batch on as well so when this is finished
i will put them on the trays and then likely do a second batch back on the trays
so you seem to be able to fit a whole lot more on a tray this size
but we want to do it a single layer as possible okay
okay these two are going on the dehydrator right away okay and now i'm going to go for my half a
dozen eggs i'm only going to do six because i've only got one tray this tray will go at the top
and i did purchase four to five dozen egg extra eggs so that i can continue with this process
okay that will do but i will not pour it into the tray until i've got it on the
dehydrator okay i'm ready for my last batch of potatoes and hopefully i could
fit that on a tray and a half if not i'm gonna have to just double
up so on top of these trays i will place the tray with the eggs
and i'm doing it at my dehydrator so i don't spill eggs all over my potatoes
now let's see if i can get this to seat
there we go right there
and done for the day
