Transcript  of  Dehydrating Meats, Beef, Chicken, and Tuna

00:00 it's March the sun is shining the snow

00:02 is melting it's time to dehydrate some

00:04 food for some summer trips hey folks

00:11 today I'm going to dehydrate some meat I

00:13 used to cook my meat with my food and

00:16 dehydrate the whole meal together but I

00:18 found that my meat will rehydrate better

00:20 if I de hydrate it separately from the

00:21 rest of the meal so today I'm going to

00:23 do some beef some chicken and some tuna

00:25 nd I'm going to show you some tricks

00:27 that I use so let's start with the beef

00:30 trick one is that I boil my beef instead

00:34 of frying it I find that frying Sears

00:36 the meat and hinders the rehydration

00:37 process so all I do is drop small

00:41 amounts at a time of meat into a boiling

00:43 pot trying to create small, small pieces

00:49 and I'll give it a stir just to break up

00:53 any chunks that are still in there and

00:54 then I'll cover it and bring it to a

00:57 boil so what you'll do is you'll drain

01:01 that meat in a colander and most of the

01:05 fat will wash away with the boiling

01:06 water but another trick I do is I pour

01:08 even more boiling water over that meat

01:10 to ensure that I really minimize any fat

01:13 on that meat now let's do the chicken

01:17 the trick I use for chicken is I pre

01:21 cook it in a pressure cooker first the

01:24 pressure cooker really breaks down the

01:25 fibers of the chicken to a point where

01:27 it number one dehydrates very well but

01:30 also rehydrates very well so just load

01:34 your pressure cooker and follow the

01:35 instructions to bring it up to

01:36 temperature I usually cook chicken for

01:39 about 15 minutes and then I cool off my

01:43 pressure cooker and pull the chicken out

01:48 you can see the fibers of the breast

01:50 meat are already starting to separate a

01:53 little bit that's really good that's

01:54 what you want

01:56 first I'll cut my chicken up a little

01:57 bit just to help it cool off because

02:00 it's very hot and hard to handle

02:02 then next I'll take a couple forks and

02:05 try and pull the meat apart trying to

02:08 create very small strands of chicken and

02:11 eliminate any lower

02:13 large chunks once the chicken cools down

02:15 you can use your hands and break it down

02:17 a little bit further and there you have

02:19 it a whole bunch of chicken ready for

02:22 the dehydrator too now the tuna is the

02:27 easiest dehydrate that straight from the

02:30 can for best results I try and use solid

02:34 white tuna I try and get albacore in

02:37 water not oil really important that it's

02:39 water tuna is the easiest all you do is

02:43 take it out of the can dump it into a

02:46 bowl and break it up a little bit trying

02:49 to make sure that you don't have any

02:50 really big chunks in there so there you

02:53 go at about half an hour I've prepared

02:56 all three meats ready for dehydration

03:03 so my dehydrator is all ready to go I'm

03:06 going to use these drying sheets on my

03:10 dehydrator and I'm simply going to put

03:12 my meat each tray so you want to load up

03:25 each tray careful not to overload any

03:27 tray this is also your last chance to

03:29 look for any chunks that you can break

03:31 up it's really important that air gets

03:33 to circulate around all your meat last

03:36 thing you want to do is set the

03:37 thermostat on your dehydrator to 160

03:40 degrees Fahrenheit and turn it on it's a

03:44 good idea to check on your meat every

03:46 couple of hours into the process this is

03:48 three hours later turn off my dehydrator

03:50 and open it up and that looks like the

03:53 tun is doing really well I'm just

03:54 flipping over the meat so that the

03:56 moisture sides are more exposed to the

03:59  air rotate through all the trays check

04:03 all the trays chickens looking really

04:05 good almost dry actually and ground beef

04:11 is the last it's looking pretty good too

04:15 it'll take a little bit longer than the

04:16 others yeah so I'll just rotate the

04:22 trays and turn back on the dehydrator

04:25 wait some more

04:31 so after about six hours of dehydrating

04:34 the chicken is nice and dry ready to be

04:37 put in bags and so is the tuna it's

04:43 really reduced in size and really

04:45 reduced in weight the hamburger needs a

04:48 little bit more time

04:52 and after about eight hours let's check

04:55 out the beef looking good

04:59 nice small crumbles I can break the

05:03 pieces and they they're just a little

05:05 bit tender not completely brittle which

05:09 is good because I boiled this meat and

05:14 because I poured more water over it I

05:18 I've gotten rid of all the fat I haven't

05:20 had to dab this at all you don't feel or

05:22 see any any oily residue at all so

05:25 that's ready to go

05:26 so I've dumped my trays into a bowl just

05:28 to make it a little easier to handle and

05:31 I'm going to spoon my meat into a

05:33 ziplock bag I will label my bags and

05:41 keep them in the freezer till I need

05:42 them so I've carried out the weight of a

05:46 Ziploc bag which is about 6 grams 2 cans

05:52 of tuna weighs 72 grams 2 chicken

05:58 breasts weighs 97 grams and my beef

06:04 which originally weighed 1.1 kilograms

06:07 now weighs 228 grams
