I should get one since spinach and strawberries that have been frozen are very cheap, but also soggy and awful

best /out/ gear

>>19896522
wrong webm

i bought a cheap one and it sucks dick. maybe i'm using it wrong. needs multiple 12 hour cycles @ 135F to dry out peppers. feel like i should get a "real" one given that it's my preferred way to process what i grow in the garden.

the trick is to make thin slices, i like to use a mandoline slicer

Could nikocado lose his waterweight if he solely eats dehydrated food?

>>19896586
ironically he would gain weight, because he would need to absorb more water from his drinks to compensate.

the way to lose water weight is actually to drink more water, until you finally are able to piss away all the excess salt and sugar in your blood.

I have picrel and I really like it. I mostly use it for the superhots I grow, but I'll make a batch of jerky every once in a while and it always turns out great

i got an ivation 6 tray for jerky and it paid for itself in less than a year. dont really worth the trouble for fruit and berries unless you grow your own.

>>19896522
>>19896528
Based. I'm happy for them, also that does actually look like it would taste really good while /out/

>>19896530
Like anon above said, slice them very thin. When i dehydrate jalapenos i slice in to rounds as thin as possible. Probably like 2 mm or something. You can basically see through them. Then i dehydrate at 160F and theyre done after 4 or 5 hours. If you're slicing thin and they arent done after 12 hours like you said then you have an issue with the heating element.

Grow up.

having only seen this one video and judging from the way they look to the way they live. im gonna go out on a limb here and say they are just some retarded ass nature loving vegan types so dont go into anything expecting culinary genius.

quit being a faggot

these things look gay. can you use a vacuum chamber to dehydrate food at home?

>>19897323
>quit being a faggot
yes, you should

>>19896528
If you look and act like this, you're a waste

I have an old Nesco I've been using for over 20 years now. Got it as a christmas gift when I was a teenager. Use it exclusively for jerky and even then it's maybe a once or twice a year thing.

Bro I let them rock for like 48 hours at 135F. Comes out dry and crunchy. What's the rush?

>>19898128
/out/ism. these people are real, I've met them and they're just as scary as obsessive star trek nerds or some such.

>>19897966
My dad has a similar Nesco. Uses it only for jerky. Works fine.
For a cheap dehydrator, you want one with the heating element/fan on top like this one instead of on the bottom like the Rosewill in the OP.
Anything drippy will cause problems otherwise.

>>19896293
Interesting

>>19896522
>turning sauce into a fruit roll up
very cool

>>19897966
Nesco's are a decent enough entry tool, but their trays are too thin and small so you're limited to small pieces of paper-thin jerky. Also they don't distribute heat from center to outside very well at all (they have a nasty tendency to just run the heat straight down the center pipe and outside), and their trays are pretty small so you can't dehydrate enough in a batch to make it worth the effort. The bigger side-heating dehydrators with the 18" rectangular trays (Excalibur, LEM) can efficiently handle larger items (e.g. whole figs or strawberries) and will dry much more evenly, both between and across the trays. And they can run cool enough (95-100 deg F) to make proper biltong.

>>19896392
Jerky machine

>>19898493
Only barely, desu. They get too hot at the outside edges and are too cool in the center, and they're the wrong form factor for jerky, unless your area is heavily populated with triangular deer or cows. Their main advantage, such as it is, is they are extremely inexpensive and widely distributed.

>dehydrator
That's what all the girls called me.

>>19896293
Fun fact, black people have no idea what a dehydrator is. Was in Walmart some years ago and asked a lady where the dehydrators were and she immediately said
>An buhbydrader?! I doen know what dat is
Said I'll just keep looking
Next guy was actually well spoken at first
>what can I help you find, sir?
>an umbydrada?!
I found it shortly thereafter

>>19899950
no, bring a water filter and use the water that's already out there, especially since you're going to be boiling it shortly thereafter.
takes you from having to carry sauce water + drinking water to just drinking water
perhaps you're more like what you hate than you'd like to admit

>>19896293
Works great for making foreskin jerky

As if. Aftor a good hour of scrubing action and prepping the food dehidrates into a nasty unsatisfying imitation of less than quality food an hour more of scrubbing and it's back to the thrift store too sit on a dusty shelf with the outher four dehidraters.In my opinion thay never get used , take up half the kitchen and are impossible to clean. A perfect holiday gift fore people you really dislike.

>>19901300
Why is he so happy?

>>19899950

>>19903315
He's happy because he has a dehydrator.

The best dehydrator is booze

>>19896528
kevmo phenotype, cancer deserving

The only thing that goes in my dehydrator is mushrooms

Oysters
Chanterelles
Puffballs
Turkey Tail
Cubensis

>>19896330
ime rosewill makes better dehydrators than oster, I don't remember who sold the rectangle one with the tinted trays but its back from when you could sell shit that wasn't nerfed out. that one works like a dehydrator should

>>19910892
>kevmo
what is that?

>>19897916
You still need to heat the food to remove water under vacuum. Maybe consider a freeze dryer.

>>19896522
>>19896528
I love hiking but hate outdoor "people"

>>19896522
why make fruit leather just to turn it back into juice. might as well just freeze it as juice.

>>19899794
fruit leathers are just dehydrated purees. you can take literal apple sauce and put it down on a dehydrator tray to make a 'fruit roll up'.

>but what recipe

cut up 3 pounds of apples, no core, put into a container with a lid and 1 cup of water and sugar (your preference). Peel or no peel, entirely up to you. Add a little bit of lemon juice to prevent oxidation. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove lid, blend with immersion blender, add some cinnamon if you want. Apple sauce is now complete. Let cool then pour into dehydrator trays. Dehydrate until its solid.

Presumably you could do this with any fruit puree or fruit sauce. If you want to be cautious, just use the apple sauce as a base and then experiment with additional flavors by adding them to the apple sauce

>>19912502
>why
Oh, good old Tardson! How would we fill the time if you didn't ask questions

>>19912429
NTA but if I had unlimited money, the first thing I would get is a freeze dryer. I have a vacuum pot for resin casting and a freezer for freezing but somehow I don't think they'll work together.

>>19912502

>>19896293

WHY DID THE FAGGOT CONTENT CREATOR MAKE PRESERVED FOOD IF THE GOAL WAS TO SIMPLY RECONSTITUTE IT AND CONSUME IT AND NOT STORE IT. Im not the only one who asked this, but you faggots only replied to me with nonanswers. Oh, turning it into SOUP is some how less calorie intense then a smoothie? FUCK YOU. That shit is retarded.

>>19915260
Nobody notices the salad stuck in your teeth when you shut your mouth.
Your stupidity is the very same as that stuck salad.

Dehydrated some sliced mushrooms to add to my ramen and stroganoff etc because they were on sale super cheaply a few weeks ago and they turned out great. I'm definitely doing it again. I never buy canned mushrooms because I hate the texture so it makes sense for me
Also I made homemade rhubarb fruit rolls with it and they turned out really good. I used apple sauce as a sweetener they weren't too sugary and it went well with the tanginess of the rhubarb
Also I dried parsley, german oregano, lemon thyme, and mint from my garden
Is it just me or are a lot of dehydrators being sold kind of small? My hand me down one is like the op pic but very BIG and has many layers but the ones in the store are easy bake oven sized. I feel like a lot of old stuff is better. Crock pots for instance I hate the new crock pots the "low" setting on them is like an old fashioned crockpots "high" setting so food gets cooked wrong or sticks to the bottom
