Food Prep
Every storage technique has its own set of equipment required. Here is a partial list to get you thinking.
Freeze Drying
Most prep can be accomplished with a knife and cutting board. Fatty meat, however, is better cooked before freeze drying to remove some of its fat. Freeze dried food will absorb moisture within just minutes if not sealed in an air-tight container. Here are some common choices.
Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers
Glass jars again with oxygen absorbers
Mylar bag sealers
Sealer vacuum combination
Vacuum sealed canisters
Canning
Canning pot
Canning rack
Jars
Lids (there has been a two year shortage of small mouth lids for 2 years as of this date)
Wax
Dehydration
Standard oven or dedicated dehydrator
Solar dehyrator
Once the food is dehydrated, storing long term will also require air tight containers: bags, jars or canisters.
