rotating my food storage.
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:11 pmWhile I have a couple of large shelves [2x4x8] of food,
Cans, boxes, coffee etc, that we regularly rotate thru,
Recently we have been rotating some long term storage items into our menu.
Here are a few observations that I've made.
Dehydrated tomato powder is really good,
It’s one of those things with a long shelf life, so I didn't have to use for years yet. I just wanted to check it out.
We put in with dried beans along with other seasonings, tasted great. made pizza sauce, and chili.
My wife asked why we weren't using it all along. It is now a staple in her cupboard.
Powdered beef and chicken bouillon in large cans is cheaper than the small grocery store bottles.
It stores well, and adds tons of flavor. We’ll be buying more of that.
Mountain House dinners are amazing, too expensive, but delicious.
We like all 5 varieties that we tried.
Chili mac was my favorite.
But I haven't been able to make myself try their eggs yet.
Has anybody here tried them?
I keep some cans and jars of food in my deep freeze to extend their expiration date...
It’s been 2 years and everything I’ve pulled out is still good.
I have some mayonnaise packets in there that I’m going to have to try soon.
I’ve had canola oil and peanut butter come out good after those 2 years.
A good way for medium term storage of fats.
We’ve also been eating meats that I pressure canned.
Chicken, beef, green chili etc.
They don't taste quite like the original recipe,
after they go thru the canning process, but are still good.
Also noticed that we need to store more coffee.
Man that stuff goes fast if you don't pay attention to your stores
We’ve been thinking about mixing regular milk and powdered milk 50-50.
So if it's ever just powdered milk, it won't come as a huge shock to our taste buds.
