They hold their shape just fine. If I'm going to use them just plain for a meal I might brown them up just a little in a frying pan For spaghetti and meatballs or in gravy, I don't bother because they are in the sauce. My mother, who taught me to can, never canned meat either. I started years ago when I had an abundance of venison and no freezer. Now I can all sorts of meat. I like having pre cooked meat ready to use in a variety of ways and all I have to do is open a jar.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-27132702493699745732016-04-29T12:24:58.948-05:002016-04-29T12:24:58.948-05:00Relatives of mine canned lots of vegetables, none ...Relatives of mine canned lots of vegetables, none of them ever canned any meat that I remember.

Whe...Chickenmom...Yep, I love my dehydrators, too! Whenever I can lay my hands on food that will dry well, I dehydrate as much a I can. I like the part where ten 16 oz. bags of the slaw mix dehydrates down to two quart freezer bags full. I go through lots of dried onions. I grind some of them up for my own onion powder. Have you ever dried sweet corn? It rehydrates really well and when ground up and added half and half with store bought cornmeal, makes the best cornbread ever. The possibilities are endless. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-56854603940472173792016-04-29T06:19:20.084-05:002016-04-29T06:19:20.084-05:00I love my dehydrator!

Nothing quite like going to the pantry, shaking out a bit and adding then to fresh eggs for breakfast! Yummy!Chickenmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978826295959619815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-63799814601073209492016-04-28T15:21:51.008-05:002016-04-28T15:21:51.008-05:00SJ...Sounds like you are coming right along with t...SJ...Sounds like you are coming right along with the garden. I'm hoping to lay my hands on some beets this year. I like them as a vegetable, but really have a hankering for some beet pickles. When I had my own rhubarb, I would do the same as you and freeze it, although last year I canned some really, really good strawberry rhubarb sauce that makes the best ice cream topping ever!<br /><br />I wish you could package up some of that lovely warm air and ship it my way. It was 39 degrees F at 11 am and hasn't warmed up much since. The weather guessers say it should warm up by the weekend, but I think I will believe it when I see it. :)<br /><br />Yeah, I wish comments had spell check, too. I'm not so sure I will ever get used to typing on this laptop. Seems like there is always a word here or there that is wrong. Operator error, mostly, I think. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-85579185095043346022016-04-28T14:01:29.567-05:002016-04-28T14:01:29.567-05:00*your posts.

It's enough to make a little crisp later.<br />The weather here is unusually warm. I've been in the garden plots a little. Mostly cleaning so far. Planted a 6-pack of beets from the garden store that was more like a 12-pack once I divided up all the itty-bitty starts. That was 3 days ago and all of the plants made it so far. Plan to sow some peas (I'm a little late, whoops), carrot and chard this weekend.

But I also use the food I can and dehydrate as well as the items I buy on sale, so I am constantly replacing what I have used.
