How are you supposed to have butter out in the woods?
ReplyDeleteYou can make it without butter or you can "CAN" butter...it has about a 5 year shelf life. Also a company sells canned butter that has a longer shelf life however I prefer to do my own.
Deleteuse powdered butter. You can buy it on Amazon
DeleteYou can actually can butter in little 1/2 pint jars and take it with you.
DeletePowdered butter
DeleteI don't refrigerate butter. I keep it on the counter. Put butter in a small plastic container or jar.
Deletecarry those butter pat thingies?
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a dehydrated butter product in a spice-type bottle available? Couldn't that be added to the dry mix so it would truly be "add water only"?
ReplyDeleteButter Buds...
DeleteThere is a butter powder many other meals in a jar call for. I’m going to use that.
DeleteHow long will these store?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous #1 - You can use oil if butter is not available. If you happen to be stranded in the woods with just you're rice mixes, you've done some horrible planning. In a pinch, you could also use the drippings of any meats you are cooking as well.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous #2, yes there is a dehydrated butter product. I would store it in a airtight sealed bag for long term storage though.
Anonymous #3, they should store as long as it's kept in an airtight dry environment. White rice properly kept keeps a very long time, brown rice not as long. If using brown rice, I would suggest using an food saver type bag and storing the mixes in your freezer. For intended long term storage, I would also seal the seasonings in a small bag and mix into rice as used. At home, I keep the mixes in a jar in the pantry.
Love your answers!!
DeleteWhat is the shelf life of the mixes if in food saver bags?
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that as long as you had vacuumed sealed that it would last a very long time.
DeleteCan you use cooked dehydrated rice?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of this recipe but was wondering is giving as a gift, what about adding a can of mixed vegetables.
