The Art of Dehydrating Food

Katzcradul displays the variety of foods she has dehydrated from fruits to vegetables, herbs to meat. She shows her dehydrator and the Vidalia Chop Wizard, a great tool in preparing vegetables for dehydrating. ***CORRECTION*** – It cost about .07 cents per HOUR to operate a dehydrator not per minute as I said in the video.

    Thanks so? much. I love all your videos! You inspired me to dig out the dehydrator and actually use it!

    No, I put them on mesh sheets that have smaller holes than the regular trays. They’re available from one of my favorite companies, Pleasant? Hill Grain. You can get 3 sheets for $8.95 plus shipping and handling. Hope this helps.

    When you used the small dice do you? dry them on the fruit leather trays?

  12. Dee Kottal on said:

    Good news they are now all on sale at Amazon I even ordered the Nesco Gardenmaster 1000 watt dehydrator plus two extra trays. Not 40? dollars for sure I recieved it today and it is sweet and larger than the picture on Amazon. Thanks for all your infomation contains a book of instructions, ordered the Oxygen sensor also.

  15. Dee Kottal on said:

    Thank you!? I appreciate you making videos.

    Thanks for your reply. I’ve managed to? persuade everybody I know to save their old jars from the supermarket lol, and I plan to build a home made dehydrator so all I need now is to learn how to vacuum seal a jar lol.

    Thanks again, Dave :~)

  22. katzcradul on said:

    I do not use oxygen absorbers when I vacuum seal food in jars. I have food that 3+ years old that still fine. If you want to throw in a small oxygen absorber,? the food would last indefinitely if you stored it in a dark, cool place. No need for new lids. Then use ones work much better.

  23. GardenDavesProjects on said:

    Hi, thanks for posting the video. It’s actually the second or third time I’ve watched it. Sorry I can’t add more than one thumbs up lol.

    Do you dehydrate for the year only, or for longer term storage with oxygen absorbers included? I ask because I have the means to store food for a year with old jars and lids and without oxygen absorbers, but wonder if for longer term food storage I could still? use these old jars and lids but with oxygen absorbers, or would I need to buy new lids? Thanks again.

  24. katzcradul on said:

    I’ve used many dehydrated food in my video. I may do a couple of? videos where dehydrated foods are the star. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    I would love to see you? do a series of videos on how to incorporated these many dehydrated foods into recipes…would you consider, doing so?
