Hey everyone,

Any word on water in the Massie Gap to Damascus section?

thanks!

I just got the box of 105 of them - figured I'd stock up for making an Italian Couscous recipe, and just store the remainder for a thru...one of these days. :)

Thanks Slo and Farr, those are both good suggestions! As I get into dehydrating larger batches, I'll try that.

Hey Dogwood,

The main difference between rolled oats and steel-cut oats is that steel cut is just the oat kernel cut in half, so it still has the fiber and bran with it. Because I'm hypoglycemic,...

Thanks Tuck. I had figured on starting with maybe half a cup and go from there.

Hey gourmet guru's,

Got a question for you. I'm dehydrating some steel-cut oatmeal right now, but the question really goes for anything I'm dehydrating. How do you know how much water to add on a...

That's definitely one I'm going to try.

I wonder how well quinoa would dehydrate? I might have to cook up some and see how it goes. Anyone have experience?

Best thing Little Debbie makes! :)

I agree Second, I'd phrase it as an accomplishment of a goal, something you had to work for and strive to achieve, the obstacles you overcame, etc. That would tell me, as the hiring manager, you're...

When you dehydrate refried beans, should you put them through a blender/processor? I've done some pinto based refrieds, but I haven't pulverized them down to a powder yet. Just wondering which is...

I'm hoping for 2012, but that will probably be a year of section hikes and maybe 2013.

I had almost purchased the Nesco, but someone mentioned having to rotate the trays to get good even drying, so I ended up going with the Excalibur and haven't had anything to complain about.

I had not thought of adding dried milk to my oatmeal packs before reading these threads. I'm not normally a milk drinker, but I like the idea of including it on the trail.

Thanks for all your...

I have to work through the #10 can of steel cut oats I got from Honeyville, but I'll check them out. :)

Thanks. :) Because I'm hypoglycemic, I can't eat the high-carb meals that aren't made with whole grains without feeling the impact in my energy levels. And I want to up the amount of nutrition I...

I'll have to give it a try. Because I'm trying to watch my nutrition on the trail, I'm planning on getting my food mostly by mail drop, so that would work out as well. Thanks!

Cool, thanks Sarah! I'm going to try it next week then. I usually prepare mine using the overnight method: boil water, add oats, cover, let sit all night. Easier to have ready with some frozen...

Hey SWJohnsey,

Steel-cut oats are the original oat kernel (or I guess groat) just cut in half, so you get all the bran and such that is lost when you "roll" an oat. They're healthier, but take...

Oh man, good idea! Thanks Russb!

Hey Cookin' Guru's,

I like to cook steel-cut oatmeal at home, and was wondering how I could do it on the trail. I suppose I could boil water and let it steep all night, but I'd rather not leave it...

Good stuff! Thanks!

Hmmm, good idea. I use barley in a vegetable beef soup I make at home, so I have it in stock. :)

That looks good, as well as the mods for it.

I'm just getting into dehydrating now, although I plan to get a Weston before too long. IMO, I think you'll get more immediate use from a dehydrator. Then as you get into making your own meals for...
