in today’s video we’re gonna see what
happens if we take two popular fast food
meals and pull all of the moisture out
of them what’s going to be left guys we
have a new freeze dryer and you have
seen us do at least one really weird
thing with it so far we have
freeze-dried steak but we want to take
it to the next level that was just one
thing so now we’re gonna try an entire
meal from two different places and see
what happens here’s the basic idea we’ll
get a meal from Wendy’s including a
frosty and a meal from Panda Express
we’ll throw them both in the freeze
dryer and let it run for about 48 hours
to really remove every drop of moisture
we’ve all had fast food and we know what
they’re like but we are curious to see
what’s gonna happen if we extract all of
the moisture from an entire meal and not
just like a burger we’re not going to
burger the fries the shake and the
drinks on the side like what are those
gonna do the orange chicken the chow
mein the fried rice let’s do all of it
we want to try it so we’ve got our fries
[Music]
all right let’s go with a a junior bacon
cheeseburger a medium french fries and a
small chocolate frosty yeah that’s all
one order we’ve got fried rice chow mein
noodles orange chicken beef and broccoli
with that we’ve got a cup of Pepsi with
some ice still in it we’ve got a Wendy’s
frosty a jr. bacon cheeseburger
Bacon’s somewhere on there there you go
that’s got lettuce and tomato and mayo
as well and we’ve got some french fries
all right now it freezes so is this what
we’re gonna do for just like the next 48
hours yeah it’s been two days of freeze
drying so I think our food is about as
dried out as it’s gonna get now I want
to see what happened to it we can see
that something happened we had a frosty
in there and now we have an explosion of
frosty foam all over everything
I think has also escaped to confine this
container we got a side by side meal
here compare the before and after yeah
exactly the same meal got a laptop with
the footage uploaded from our GoPros it
goes pretty fast that Rolly nothing
nothing nothing nothing but weight you
can kinda see a little bit of change and
then just a lot the frosty and a little
bit the soda oh okay there it is right
there Wow oh yeah I escaped its
container oh and look at via the mayo on
the burger strip or just a little bit
there you go there’s inflating the same
way as the frosty you can see our soda
is starting to bubble up as well not as
much as our frosty not even close
that is just everywhere and it does look
like it also got on our Panda Express
through the back so we may have to dig
through some frosty to find the Panda
Express food it’s opened up oh and it’s
cold it’s trying to see if there’s any
smell ice melting off the sides that’s
pretty normal
okay in fact I think there used to be
more ice there and then some of it
sublimates off as it vacuums you know
what we have to do now it was actually
good I like fries crispy I usually ask
them to be cooked extra crispy
this is more extra crispy this is
crunchy that was you needing the frosty
to start with soda is pretty much just
done for that I like that’s a really
good dehydrated soda starts out as a
crunchy candy and then it goes gummy and
kind of like a now and later and it’s so
good and we put soda in our regular
dehydrator before this is a fancier
process similar result not quite the
same all right frosty it’s pretty good
if you’ve ever had astronaut ice cream
it’s very similar to that I’m wearing
frosty this is so light and puffy like
this this thing weighs less than a
marshmallow yeah we should definitely
taste
we should taste the individual
ingredients here
[Music]
that still tastes just like lettuce just
just crunchy here it’s paper lettuce but
the fact that it still tastes like
lettuce it’s bizarre we need to try some
of this this is freeze-dried beef and
broccoli well just the beef part regular
so this is about about 20 minutes ago
[Music]
yeah it’s so really good when we
freeze-dried the steak again those were
very very thick and we did really
seasoned them that much there are a lot
of flavor in this none
now of course fast food is known for
just having a ton of chemicals in it
this stuff even though it’s been
freeze-dried is still delicious how is
it
it still tastes good I would eat these
as chips just make straight vegetable
chips I’m gonna cut our cheeseburger
hard our junior bacon cheeseburger in
half all right here we can see bread
burger bacon cheese lettuce tomato and I
think there’s some mayo on top of that
or there was well this is cheese as much
as fast-food burgers have cheese on them
completely freeze-dried I’m gonna try
dipping it in cool water and see if it
comes back to life at all let that
absorb for a bit here’s a comparison of
our not freeze-dried so you can see most
of the same pieces cheese is definitely
a different texture oh yeah if I wasn’t
touching this I didn’t know that it was
crunchy this actually looks more
appetizing to me that just looks slimy
this looks flat here would you like a
cup of water there there’s some Pepsi
behind you how’s that working out mmm
I’m gonna see what happens we put a
freeze-dried french fry into some hot
water
I don’t know how long french fries
should take to rehydrate
[Music]
the inside is more of the normal french
fried texture now the outside I don’t
think that’s quite finished absorbing
the water the outside of a french fry is
gonna have a lot of oil in it so it may
be repelling the water a little bit
still crunchy so so far I would say that
other than the frosty panda is holding
it better I think looks like that so far
okay let’s add some chicken she had some
broccoli delicious let’s see what that
looks like in ten minutes
the freeze-dried noodles have a very
styrofoam like texture it has a crunch
and then like a freeze-dried
reconstituted chow mein ramen with
okay so we had to switch out the water
cuz it got a little bit cold and I think
all of the flavor and the depth in the
water just like it wouldn’t like a ramen
broth that was a problem that we had
only freeze-dried our steak again we
lost all the flavor when we tried to
reconstitute it so yeah basically the
starting pretty small it’s not much
water and it’s just sucking it down in
no mixing no stirring just dissolving
[Music]
all right let’s try this
rehydrated frost now it’s not going to
be frozen because we weren’t mixing it
with frozen water that’s kind hard to do
but let’s give it a try it’s a chunkier
but I like my pastas little tiny bits of
the frosty definitely aren’t mixed in so
it tastes kind of like you’ve made it
from a powdered mix which we basically
did and just didn’t mix it quite enough
I’m gonna blend up a Wendy’s New Orleans
best margarita
that is part of a junior bacon
cheeseburger and several french fries a
spoonful of cheeseburger and french
yeah I’m sticking to my panda that’s
really weird because nobody’s ever
thought what does a powdered
cheeseburger look like but that’s
probably what you would guess while I’m
eating it it doesn’t really feel like an
idiot Eve burger maybe that’s just
because the texture is too different
that I don’t really notice the flavors
are similar or something like that
but I gotta say what’s a little strange
is after I’m done eating and just like
you see the cheeseburger like it feels
like I ate a cheeseburger afterward so
it does have all the same flavors and
components in there of course the
experience is very different as you’re
doing it so weirdly enough I would say
that out of everything
the thing that reconstitutes best is the
broccoli this actually turned out pretty
good guys that’s not all we’ve always
got more you see this box up here at the
top will take you to our latest video in
that box at the bottom is what YouTube
thinks you should be watching next let
that bomb in the middle so you’re
subscribed to the club then you never
miss out on the fun don’t forget to ring
that Bell and we’ll see you in the next one talk to you then
