boonie: "That looks good! " It really is, and there is a lot of variety in this sampler. What I like is that I get to add whatever spices I want. I know that is true with home dehydrated as well, but for the price, quality, quantity received and time saved, I am really glad I tried this. A bunch of tvp products included also make this a great product. |

Soak in worcestershire sauce and dry in my oven. Hand cut venison is better, both make great stews and you control the fat content. I do most of my meat at home (red meats, beef/pork), except for some Redwicks stuff like freeze dried chicken ham or shrimp. All the rest of my ingredients are purchased on line. butthead |

DougD: "I ordered the same pack. I tried it for the first time this weekend on an overnight trip on the Current River here in Missouri. I put in 1/3 cup of peas, 1/3 cup of corn, and a 1/3 cup of carrots, salt, pepper and a teaspoon of bell peppers thrown in for good measure. There is going to be a learning curve on cooking with these packets. I didn't soak them before cooking. After about 15 minutes in boiling water the corn was still very chewy but the taste was good. The serving size was too much for two people. In the future I will use 1/3 cup of vegetables per person and pre-soak the vegetables before cooking. " Agree on the learning curve. They do offer a few recipes on their website. I have started with these and added/modified ingredients. I am amazed at how such small quantities can be so filling. |

Most dried foods I start with tablespoon measure, 1 to 2 of meat, 2 of mixed vegetables, the carbs potatoes/rice/noodles vary a lot on the brand supplied. Toss in a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of some sauce. That is likely a 1/2 sized meal for most, but that's what I do. butthead |

billconner: "Would love to hear what kind of portions dry make a portion when rehydrated. Harmony House rehydration chart should give you a good start, bill. |

billconner: "Would love to hear what kind of portions dry make a portion when rehydrated. Nice review of the HH tvp products here. I have only played around with a few recipes, but I can say the texture of the the tvp beef is solid; I like it better than home dehydrated burger. |
