what are you dehydrating? I can’t tell by the picture.
Because you seem to be a cooking wizard I have to ask you this.
I dehydrate peppers from my garden every year. I add it to all kinds of stuff from burgers to soup, and it seems to last forever. Do you have any tips for this? Just for background, everything is washed, de stemmed, dried, placed in machine, racks are shuffled every couple of hours, takes about 2 days with my el cheapo unit. Then when dry I place them in a coffee grinder, spin to consistency desired (big flakes or powder). Then I put it in mason jars with lids. I normally mix jalapenos and hungarian wax peppers so that I get the heat and flavor I want. I grind it with the seed in.
Edit: I forgot, I do the grinding with a mask and gloves on outside.
4 lb of flank steak on teriyaki and sesame seeds.
I dont have any herb planted.
I have dried peppers without steaming, they add some crounchiness while still being a bit moisted for my wifes cooking
I dont eat them, they gas me.
I also dont eat spicy food.
Sorry cant be of more help.
Why grind them.
Just crush them
Thank you. I like hot and spicy sometimes. I mostly have to drive to the indian joint about an hour away to get my fix with curry.
I normally mix it so that the wife and kid can eat it too, so it is mild with good flavor. I grind it for powders where I don’t want the crunchy flakes but want the flavor like in some soups. In things like burgers or sometimes on chicken I use the flakes. On pizza I sometimes add the flakes.
I started removing stems about 4-5 years ago after I had a jar go bad. I assume it was the stems holding some moisture, but it could have been other variables that I am not aware of.
