Ok, ok, ok.... How do you get the canned chicken to re-hydrate???? Every time we have tried, it always comes out tough, or like rubber!!! It's edable, but we are always looking to improve. Thanks!!" Make sure when you place the canned chicken on the trays to pull the pieces apart so it looks like crab meat. Stay away from big chunks. The smaller the shreds, the easier it is it rehydrate. I put what I need together at breakfast in a fairshare mug, just covered with water. It either goes in the food barrel or if staying put in my wet bag. If its still tough by dinner time, heating the chicken & water and letting it steep helps too. This can help it to hurry along much faster than just cold water. :). Anytime! |

I can chicken dehydrated 1/4 can cream of celery soup dehydrated Stove top stuffing-enough to make for 2 (2 cups prepared) Mix of dehydrated veggies-corn, peas, green beans etc. Bisquik garlic & cheddar biscuits Rehydrate the chicken, soup & veggies together. I use a fair share mug and put it together at breakfast. Make biscuits, set aside & keep warm. Make the stuffing-boil water & turn off, add stuffing & let sit for a minute. Add the rest, stir, heat for a minute & eat. Originally I tried powdered gravy mix, but didn't like it..my campmate doesn't like mushrooms, so cream of mushroom soup was out. Cream of celery works nice. Tried this at home first without the veggies, but it wasn't filling enough. Bulked up with the veggies it's like chicken pot pie. |

quote TomP: "I always wondered if you could dehydrate cream soup. Now I know. About how long does it take? Does it dry to a leather like consistency or more like powder? It works just like sauce, applesauce or anything else that is liquid. It ends up more leather like-then I use a kitchen shears to cut it into portions. I approximate six servings/meals per can of soup for my chicken & stuffing meal for two. Break it up or process it in a food processor-or prepare to rehydrate it for a while if its a big chunk. I put dinner together in a fair share mug at breakfast and place it in our food barrel or if we are staying put..in my hanging wet bag. I also vacuum seal or ziplock. I use a timer attached to my dehydrator since mine doesn't have one. I usually check it every hour or so till its completely dry. I don't remember how long it took last time I made it. Each soup has its own consistency, I wouldn't want to tell you a time and have it be off. Start out with 2-3 hours & check on it. Make sure to grease your solid sheets well with vegetable oil before spreading on the soup. I believe the last time i did it, a whole can fit on one sheet- i have a round machine. Spread your can of soup on thinly & evenly. **Okay...I looked up dehydrating creamed canned soup -Laurie Ann March-A fork in the trail...one recipe says 7-10 hours, the other 5-10 hours. I am thinking it was closer to 10. I have even dehydrated yogurt, it makes a nice fruit roll up style snack, chewy & creamy. |

This is so timely. I was just going to do a search on whether I could dehydrate the corn chowder I made. Thanks for the pointers. Also, never thought to try yogurt! Putting that tip away for later use. |

With most of our dehydrated meals, we add boiling water to the item, then seal it tight in a zip lock, and put that in a pot with a lid that is insulated with armaflex. We are usually fully re-hydrated in a couple of hours... chicken must just take longer!! Thanks, for the insight. |

We also use Cache Lake's fryin pan bread instead of the biscuits sometimes. http://www.cachelake.com/fnimall/category/FryinPan/listing.phtml We have tried about 6 flavors, all very good & easy to make. |
