Preparedness comes about in more than one way. You may purchase items to use during and after an emergency. You might also prepare for a disaster, with items that you’ve purchased. NESCO® can be part of your preparedness in both ways!
Dehydrating foods can be a great way to be ready for an emergency situation. Dehydrated foods last a long time, and are easy to keep stored, and grab when needed. NESCO has been a leader in home dehydrators since 1978. With prices ranging from just $49.99 to $144.99, they offer dehydrators for just about any budget.
Vacuum sealing is another way to preserve foods for longer periods of time. NESCO has a number of vacuum sealers, along with sealing bags, in a number of sizes. I would also throw this out there…you can vacuum seal documents so that they are protected from water damage!
To conserve solar or generator power, you can heat small meals using a small electric skillet, or induction burner/hot plate. NESCO has several in their line up.
About NESCO®
“We’re more than just a trusted brand with a solid reputation. NESCO® means bringing everyone together for all the special occasions that fill your life like Thanksgiving, or just a weeknight dinner with your family. Starting as the National Enameling and Stamping Company, we invented the Original Roaster Oven in Milwaukee, Wisconsin way back in 1931. The Wisconsin Electrical Company brought Roasters around to the rural areas of the state promoting the use of electricity in homes. This new versatile appliance replaced the wood-burning stoves that were common at the time, because of its ability to cook a meal quickly without heating up the house in the hot summer. Throughout the years, we became the brand of Roaster that everyone came to depend on for all the special moments in life.
We may be the originator of the Roaster Oven that has been a staple in kitchens for generations, but we are now so much more. When it comes to small kitchen appliances, NESCO® provides stylish designs trusted for performance, relied upon for durability, and endeared for their savory results. Whether you’re searching for that perfect gift, looking to make dinner at home yourself, or get the most for your money, our innovative products put the joy back in cooking, making kitchen time more enjoyable.
Today, our message is the same—celebrate with food, family, and friends. Celebrate the big game or that it’s Wednesday. Sit down and have a stay at home dinner or bring the party with you with our portable appliances. Life is an occasion worth celebrating, and we’re dedicated to being YOUR KEY INGREDIENT™.
NESCO is owned by The Metal Ware Corporation and based in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.”
It’s always important to be prepared. You have some great advice here. I can see how dehydrating foods would help!
Thank you for sharing. You can never prepare enough. All these items look great.
This is a very informative article. I sit and watch the TV sometimes and think what do these people for. We are from KY and flooding and tornados have been bad this past year. Everyone needs to be prepared!
You’ll have to tell me how that creamed corn come out. I am thankful that I don’t have to prepare for hurricanes, but we do get a lot of rain this time that can sometimes knock out the power for many hours.
These all sound like great products. I can see how each would be useful. I’d love a dehydrator.
Being prepared is so important! We are in a hurricane prone area which makes this article so helpful!
These are smart devices to have for emergencys. I will have to look into them.
These are some great products to have on hand during any emergency. Lately we have been dealing with a lot of bad storms that has caused a lot of outages.
All of these products sound really amazing. Looking forward to giving this a try.
I don’t miss prepping for hurricanes at all. It was always a pain to deal with when I lived in North Carolina. I lived in a manufactured home so I had to leave most of the time.
I’d love one of those vacuum sealers for our food. That’s so much better than ziploc bags.
Wow! These are all really great and amazing products! Thanks for sharing this with us!
wow! I’ve never thought about dehydrating foods, but it’s a great way to have food in different occasions!
Dehydrator is a life hack! Also, vacuum sealing important documents!!
This is super important, I just started revamping my emergency kit and these are great tips. Thanks for sharing!
I love the idea of this. We live in Missouri and know it the best, not hurricanes!
It is a good time to think about storm preparedness. I don’t think we have done this in a while and it is a good reminder.
Winter is here before we know it and I’m not sure if I’m actually prepared in case we lose power for days due to snow storm. I will have to check their site out.
This is great information, to be prepared when a hurricane is coming. Also it is great advice on what you need to do. Thanks for sharing this with us.
My husband was talking about the home dehydrators the other day! NESCO dehydrators and vacuum sealers sound great, will check them out.
