Yoghurt, tomatoes, dry curd cott. ch.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am a mother of two kids on the diet for quite a while now. I have a

few questions,

Yoghurt maker, which one to buy if I want the largest, easiest

handling (like washing for ex), and with extra bowls to buy to it?

Which yoghurt starters to buy? And do I buy them continuisly, is it

impossible to take some of the " old " yoghurt to start the next one?

Tomatoes and peppers, do you eat them raw and including the skins and

tomatoseeds?

Is it possible to use " crushed tomatoes " available in stores?

Dry curd cottage cheese, what consistensy does it have? How can I make

it at home, is dripped yoghurt the same?

Thank you so much for advice

Lotta,

I use the Excalibur Dehydrator. The advantages are many:

You can adjust the temperature.

You can make delicious dried fruit. veggies. and meats.

You can use whatever container you want. I use glass canning jars

You can make 9 quarts at the same time

It is easy to wash the glass canning jars

Mimi,

I have an Excalibur on the way. Other than fruit leathers and yogurt,

specifically how do you use it? Could you dry veggies and then grind them to

flour and make breads and maybe pasta out of them? What would be the purpose of

dried veggies, I'm not really sure? I'm trying to think of some creative ways

to spice up this and make things more appealing to my husband and more rewarding

to my Aspie son who has been limited on his diet in some shape or form since he

was 5 (he'll be 8 in 2 months). Plus I want to get the most out of it. We are

in the early stages still. I'm introducing some stage 2 foods now.

Thanks!

Hi Lotta,

<< Which yoghurt starters to buy? And do I buy them continuisly, is it

> impossible to take some of the " old " yoghurt to start the next one?>>

http://pecanbread.com/new/yogurt1.html#start

You should start with fresh starter so all lactose is broken apart and

all casein is denatured.

<< Tomatoes and peppers, do you eat them raw and including the skins and

> tomatoseeds?>>

Most start with cooked and peeled and as healing occurs use them raw

with peels.

<< Is it possible to use " crushed tomatoes " available in stores?>>

Nope.

<<Dry curd cottage cheese, what consistensy does it have?>>

It is like regular cottage cheese except it is dry.

<< How can I make> it at home,>>

You'd need a recipe that ensures all lactose is removed/broken down.

<< is dripped yoghurt the same?>>

Dripped yogurt is like cream cheese, the thickness depends on how long

you leave it to drip or if you press it. You can use dripped yogurt as

a substitute in many recipes.

Dried veggies make good snacks and you can also make jerky. You can also do all

of this in your oven too (as well as making yogurt).

Bonita,

I think that one should wait before introducing the dried fruit. Dried

fruit is an advanced food.

I make meringues with it.

I never heard of anyone doing it. It is an original idea.

Thanks for the ideas. When you say meringues, you mean for pies or meringue

cookies?

I read on the recipe creators list that you can make banana flour by

drying and grinding up banana slices. I did not see any reports about

how the baked goods turned out.
