http://www.durgan.org/URL/?BWVFV 2 March 2012 Dehydrated Omelette.
An omelette consisting of a dozen eggs, paneer, onions and garlic was made and dehydrated.No condiments were added.Paneer was made from three litres of skim milk at 120F and made into curds by adding one large tablespoon of ascorbic acid.The four ingredients were blended and then mixed together in a pot using the hand blender. The slurry was placed on two Teflon pans and cooked at 250F in the oven for 20 minutes, then placed in the dehydrator, set at 63 C. After four hours the slurry sheet was removed from the Teflon pan turned over and placed on an open mesh sheet and placed back into the dehydrator to facilitate more complete drying. After dry the product was cut into pieces and vacuum packed vacuum packed for long term storage at room temperature.There are three eggs in each package a total of four packages. A quick nourishing food.

Sorry Durgan but I have no idea why you would want to dehydrate an omelette. It takes only about 2-3 minutes to make one from scratch!

How about driving down the road, a 1000 miles from home? A lunch for little Johnny or Mary for school instead of a Mars bar. A three month trip to the South Pole, one might have trouble carrying the frying pan. My view is it is simply a preserved food.

Good idea, but urgh not for me

It only takes a change in mindset.
Just back from my 5 km walk and had two slices of the dehydrated omelette. Absolutely wonderful flavour. No fuss no muss all pre-prepared. I have pilot bread, dried fruits, pressure canned juices, never tried dried oat cakes yet, or dried soy beans. Simple, quick. nourishing, appetizing food and removal from dependency on the commercial food establishment, which I suggest is slowly killing us, is one of my objectives. Therefore long term storage methods, preferably at room temperatures are required, hence pressure canned juice, and dehydrating. Both processes will be immensely useful, economical, and fully nutritional, when produce is in season during the Summer.

Hmmmmm, question, if you could take a pill several times a day that met your nutritional needs would you give up eating 'real' food. My answer would be it's not for me I'm afraid. I rarely buy commercially prepared food and relish cooking all our food from scratch as part of the pleasure is the ritual of the preparation and the anticipation of the meal to come when I get wafts of heavenly smells coming from the oven. Granted, if we had no other choice we'd have to get used to this way of eating but until it is I'll stick to the conventional way of feeding myself thanks.

Certainly a pill would be of lively interest, but as far as I know such is not available due to many complexities. I truly enjoy all food and do partake of all the joys on social occasions. Also I am a fine cook and all enjoy my culinary efforts when exposed to such.
This concerns me me as much as anything ever does. A wake up call.
