Homemade Dehydrated Camping Meals
Eat Well Outdoors — Without the Price Tag
There's nothing worse than soggy sandwiches or expensive freeze-dried pouches on a camping trip. With the Ezidri FD1000, you can make your own lightweight, nutritious dehydrated meals at home for a fraction of the cost — and they'll taste far better too.
Whether you're heading out for a weekend camping trip, a multi-day hike or a wild camping adventure, homemade dehydrated meals give you complete control over what you eat in the outdoors.
Why Make Your Own Camping Food?
Dramatically lighter than fresh food
Water makes up the majority of food's weight. By removing it through dehydration, meals become incredibly lightweight — crucial when every gram counts on a long hike.
A fraction of the cost of shop-bought
Commercial freeze-dried camping meals can cost £8-£12 per pouch. Homemade dehydrated meals cost pennies by comparison and you can make them in bulk.
You control every ingredient
No artificial preservatives, no excess salt, no mystery additives. Just real food that you've prepared yourself.
Long shelf life
Properly dehydrated meals stored in airtight bags or containers will last for months — perfect for keeping a stash ready for your next adventure.
What Can You Make?
The Ezidri FD1000 handles a huge range of camping meals:
- Pasta bolognese — cook, dehydrate, rehydrate in minutes at camp
- Vegetable curry and rice — a warming, nutritious camp dinner
- Porridge and dried fruit — the perfect lightweight breakfast
- Homemade trail mix and snacks — energy on the go
- Soups and stews — just add boiling water at camp
- Beef jerky — high protein trail snack that lasts for weeks
How It Works
1. Cook your meal as normal at home
2. Spread evenly onto Ezidri trays
3. Set temperature to 55°C - 60°C depending on ingredients
4. Dry for 6 to 10 hours until completely moisture free
5. Store in airtight bags or vacuum seal for longer trips
