Given the most recent projections for deaths in the US and the spike in the Northeast, it looks like the shelter in place order is going to be with us for at least 90 more days! If you’re like millions of folks and found yourself unprepared for a social emergency, don’t worry you can start preparing now.
Here are two things that I purchased on Amazon that are handy to have. A dehydrator, this kitchen tool helps you preserve fruit and vegetables. Depending on the model you select, I went with an under $40 model, you will be able to dry fruits and vegetables, fruit roll-ups, and even meat-based jerky’s. If you have kids, they will love helping prep the food, and they love being the first to try the finished products.
The second item was a vacuum sealer. There are a few items that you won’t want to dehydrate, but still want to preserve. Depending on your budget, you can find vacuum sealer, some use bag systems and others can vacuum items in jars. For the wine connoisseur, some systems will vacuum seal your wine bottles.
The goal here is to minimize wasting food. I hope this helps! #staywell #staysafe
