I had Saladmaster pans for many years, but the item I loved most was the Saladmaster shredder, it is NOT electric, does everything a food processor does, but in emergency times, it is great, cuz it still works when there’s no electricity! Hash browns, salads and slaws, scalloped potatoes, all of it, was great!!

Good Heavens folks! Why dont you just can or cook and then dehydrate your own tasty Southwest beans recipes…Why pay so much out on FD???? Chipotle sauce/cumin chicken tomato salsa/tomatillo,any seasoning, flavoring, salsas can be canned, dehydrated…just have to search what ingredients need to be added after the fact and store these…

For example: a fast grab company coming super snack we put together fast make Cafe Del Rio’s Chicken Fajita mixes at home. These are the best on the trail…just make the tortillas and cook on top of a flat stone if you have to. When we sent out with military on maneuvers they flattend the dough out by hand and covered a latriene shovel with a little foil and it riveled the delicious recipes at Cafe Del Rio.

we vacumn pack spices in bulk and store these in cool dark places for many years…these can also be packaged in little packets using any sealer and then sealed into whole meals in Bishops Storehouse super mylar bags…iron them shut if you have to…so many ways to do this….

my 720,000 family plus EPA preparedness group make all of their own snacks and meals ahead with great simplicity and ease..once you understand food processing very well…and also learn to garden year round in any zone, you can eat 5 star restaurant quality at every meal…there is never a need to not do so if you plan ahead, are prudent to the max and are creative in recipe building and use….just dont forget to use different colored carotenes in vegetables each day

….get ready to shelter in for several months…lots of super bugs here now and on the horizon….so long

The other day I was online looking at different freeze-dried food sites and came across a video of one where the staff was testing out their beans and rice (with southwest flavorings). Now that I am looking for it, I can’t find it! Do any of you know which site I was on? Thanks!

I get a dried whole milk called Nestle NIDO in the Mexican food section of my local grocery. It doesn’t have a long shelf life …maybe a year. But it workes great to make yogurt.

I bought a set of Saladmaster pans before I got married in 1968 & have raised my family of 3 boys using that set. I do make cakes on top of the stove. Instead of using a splash of water, I use 2 cups of shreaded vegetables (cabbage, carrots, squash, celery, etc.). It’s called a salad cake. My set still looks new. I do need to replace one handle, I just have not done so yet. The Saladmaster pans are about the only thing (other than my husband) that is still around today. Look up Saladmaster on YouTube for demo’s.
