DIY: Using Your Dehydrator to Dry Bananas: http://youtu.be/5cwTy5daGk8

slice your banananas lengthwise so you have long rectangular slices, much more efficient

>>6019638
I have a freezer full of trout.
Will this work?

>>6019534
use a mandolin slicer for both your bananas and apples. Keep the bananas whole as you slice them to avoid mashing them up. Use lemon juice as you soak both apples, and bananas. Pretty easy. You can also use an egg sliced for doing strawberries. They usually come out paper thin after being dried but worth it. Enjoy your dried fruit.

seems like a risky proposition at best, your dehydrator might end up permanently imbued with essence of fish

>>6020241
so get a second dehydrator for meats and use half the shelves for fish only and half for meat only?

I just got some boars head jerky and the reg price was like 5 bucks a small bag for buffalo chicken or turkey and london broil jerky

>>6020241

Why does that sound risky? Do soap and bleach not exist in your world, or you do you simply lack the knowledge to use them?

>>6020351
plastic with leech smells that bleach won't get rid of

>>6020398
I mean absorb

>>6019534
Banana sticks like fucking glue.

Do you have a coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle? You can dry all sorts of veggies and either save them in jars as little pieces or grind them into a powder for use in soups, stews, and baked goods. It is amazing.

What am I looking at here?

>You can also use an egg sliced for doing strawberries
That's a really good idea. I did dehydrated strawberry slices and they were a lot of work to prepare.

I usually do sweet potato slices for my dog, wild mushrooms, berries, banana, apple, fruit leather (really good), dried yogurt/fruit leather, stuff like that

I'm pretty sure it's a homemade version of this stuff

Disappoint.

>>6020642 + >>6020408 = delicious powdered meat spice.

>>6020489
he made packet A from yosuba noodles and then ground it into a powder for seasoning

>>6020489
Dehydrated vegetables,

Pumpkin
Carrot
Red Onion
Kale
Green Bell Pepper
Cherokee Tomato
Sunchoke
Agaricus bisporus (white "pizza" mushrooms/portobello)

I powdered everything with a coffee grinder set to "fine". I now use it in all my soups, stews, and lots of my baked goods. Adding it to dough for things like cheddar cheese, garlic biscuits or whole grain breads makes them amazing.

>pic is Hungarian Wax peppers

Also, godly as a seasoning and I use it on almost everything that is good with some peppery spice.

>>6020919
Basically, for that noodle image set, I tossed the flavoring packet and used PHS and the dehydrated veggies instead. Marchuran brand ramen noodles.

>>6019534
If I wanted to get a Dehydrator primarily for jerky what should I be looking at?

>>6020933
Nice, any idea how long the powders last in a sealed jar? I made my own onion and garlic powders, and they're clumping up as expected however they seem to be doing just fine a few months after the drying.

I got a little (lot) drunk and while making some beef jerky, put a few fillets of anchovies on some freespace. Sure enough, they dried out into super salty fishy crunchy bits. I'll bet that could substitute for a bit of salt in the soup packets.

I got drunk the next day and ate them dry.

>>6019534
I know some dehydrator use heating elements to help things dry faster, but is that an absolute necessity? Also can those heaters be turned off?

>>6021029
I've seen the home made dehydrators using cotton filters and a box fan, and i've even seen ones that have a very low temp heating element (without a fan).

Get one with an adjustable heating element. For things like herbs, you'll only need ~75 degree heat to dry them in a decent amount of time. However things with a lot of water such as fruits and meats will take days to dry out. If you just use air movement, you run a significantly higher risk of bacterial growth.

However, the 140 degree temps some dehydrators recommend is usually too high and ends up cooking the meat.

tl;dr Heat is [sometimes] good because it speeds up the drying process for bacteria sensitive foods.

Can I have your counter top?

No its mine

Please refrain from mentioning your sex and/or gender while visiting /ck/. Although you may not be aware of this (although I think you are), many people posting on 4chan are not in an intimate relationship.

Therefore, referring to your masculinity can be highly offensive to others, as they visit /ck/ to have fun and intellectual discourse, not to be reminded of their shortcomings (as perceived by society).

I hope you remember this in the future and refrain from using any key words that can be used as gender identifiers. It really is not that much to ask and will prevent threads from degenerating into flame/troll disasters.

Some of us also choose to be single and our virginity is not a badge of shame. The inherent superficial and highly opportunistic behavior of men is not attractive to every female, and therefore we do not have to be constantly reminded of your kind while on /ck/. It is not necessary and can be considered, "cocky" (a very just term).

Thank you very much,

- /ck/

What the actual blueberry fuckmuffin?

>>6021048
O-oh, ok...

>>6021050
That copypasta still exists? lel

>>6021062
That copypasta was not worth deleting.
This place is getting over moderated.

OP here. I am heading to the market to find some beef on sale for jerky.
I will also try to find discount fruit and veg.

The bananas and apples were fucking amazing .
Thanks guys.

>>6021022
>Nice, any idea how long the powders last in a sealed jar?

Years, but it really depends on the methods you are using to keep them moisture free. Since I have mine in glass cannons jars I can gently heat the jar before putting the contents in then seal them. Once it all cools off the lid pops down.

>>6021029
Many dehydrators don't have a fan and only have air vents in the top and bottom with a source of heat. The length of time and you local air humidity are what play the biggest role in whether or not you should use an air-only dehydrating method. Where I live, I have to have a source of heat because the humidity is so high that even with lots of air flow everything molds up or smells like really old shoes.

One easy method of making a DIY dehydrator is putting a 60W-100W incandescent lightbulb in the bottom with air vents.

>>6021014
Looks at the size and ease of cleaning mostly. How much jerky will you be making in one batch and what kind of cleaning do you want to do? Dehydrators with metal screens/grating can take a beating and are easier to clean stuck-on things off them. Most any dehydrator can dehydrate meat. One of the other factors is time. How long do you want it to take? The more expensive models of dehydrators will have more energy use for heating and fan(s), but will significantly cut down on the length of time it takes to dehydrate the meat.

If you are going to be doing many batches of meat, like people that hunt deer and other game then a dehydrator in the $200 range will be what you'll better enjoy using. There's also the option of making your own if you have the tools and the basic know-how + google. Otherwise, get a cheap plastic one or make one with a PC fan, AC-DC wall adapter that fits the voltage of the fan, incandescent lightbulb, and cardboard box to make a quick and easy dehydrator.

I want a dehydrator now. Homemade vegetable salt JUST LOOKS SO COOL.

>>6022456
Be careful, you'll start experimenting. That can lead you down some dangerous and painful roads. Like this Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper candy.

It was a hit this past Halloween. lol

>>6022468

I want that for me. That thing.

>>6022450
If you live in a hispanic area, try a milanesa cut. Otherwise if you're looking for cheap, get the cheapest and leanest you can. I usually go with a london broil cut if I don't mind a bit of chewyness. I hear flank steak is good for jerky, but its gotten to be cost prohibitive lately.

Try a couple different cuts, some are too livery, some can be just flavorless. My historical favorite is marinading the beef in A1 steak sauce overnight, then drying it.

Sriracha jerky is nice if you like the heat and sweet. Salt and pepper is nice. I haven't had too much luck with teryaki for some reason.

Stock up on liquid smoke, worster sauce, and your favorite marinades. You can do stuff with peppers, but you'll have to dry the peppers, grind them finely, then sprinkle that on the beef. (habeneros, hatch, or other peppers)

OP again, all I could find was beef outside round.
I don't even know what that is but it was sliced a little over a quarter inch thick so I grabbed it.

I have a Mr coffee dehydrator with no controls.
Is it safe to leave the jerky all night?

Can you make chicken jerky?
Raw chicken sounds kinda weird but might be good as jerky.

>>6023593
Never tried it, but I think it has something to do with the same reason you can't eat medium rare chicken or raw pork.

>>6023593
>Can you make chicken jerky?

Of course. Google recipes.

>>6023615
Jerky relies on the lack of water that enables microbes to multiply. Correctly made jerky can be made from any meat source. People even dry fish.

>>6023496
>Is it safe to leave the jerky all night?

So long as it is drying out and is dry in an acceptable amount of time without insects bothering it, yes.

watermelon slices turn into fruit roll-ups, very good

dehydrated orange slices are nice

>>6020230
wow real info for once noice

also presto made the OP dehydrator

Make fruit leather and sew it into edible fetish gear.

Don't go crazy

>>6019534
Op, before you dehydrate apple or bananna spray them with pineapple juice first.
They will go brown if not.

>>6024895
Any high vitamin C containing juices work. Most people use lemon juice to help retain color.

>>6024688

stating the obvious is real info?

>>6024713
>fruit leather fetish gear

Vegan BDSM?
