trappa 518 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thinking of getting a food dryer to store produce easier throughout the year. Anyone tried it? I know you can store fungi but what about veg , fruit etc Would love some feedback please as im not sure whether it would be worthwhile as they are awfully expensive.

Netter 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think you can dry most things, Hikers and Walkers and that use them dehydrators to make food lighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ellir0305 9 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks netter, i was hoping someone on here had some experience. Im not sure whether its a gimmick or not. well i made a sloar dryer a few years ago and did apples and chillies and jerky and tomatoes and onions and it worked well but it needed good sunny days to get up enough heat a proper food dryer will be brilliant and jerky is lush so just experient will different meats and marinades etc just make sure you get rid of all the fat cos this goes rancid. you can use the oven on low with the door slightly open too. or we have a rayburn and the warming oven works brilliantly a tray of choped chilles in the blender in the warming oven overnight and bam instant chilli flakes perfect.
