I hated Physics. Oh wait.....this is math. Hated it too!!
I dehydrated cooked rice yesterday. Why? Hurricane season is here! If we are without power for an extended amt of time I don't want to use up all my fuel boiling rice for 20 minutes. With this - just boil water and pour over and it rehydrates. I generally mix canned chicken and rice with the dogs food so this will make it easy. Occasionally I have a bit with soup or a side. So simple to grab a handful and throw in the soup pot. I haven't tasted it yet so...
Any thing else we can do to enable you?I haven't used mine in several months but, produce will be coming. Y'all talking about timers, temps, fans on your units made be start looking. Oh, I'm still using my old $8 one with no controls just manual use. But I ordered a much newer one to go alongside 😊. NOT the wonderful and expensive named ones...but will suffice and good reviews. On sale at $90. Cannot have figs ready and no dehydrator! 🤣. A stackable model with temp, timer controls...and a fan. All I need as I do fruits and veggies. 🤷 Plus 8 trays , other just 4....that's 12 all together!! I'll be in high cotton, as they say.
Of course, ordered oxygen thingies and the moisture ones???? Yeah...you've cost me $$$. Thankfully I'm stocked with bags and two vac sealers and the jar lid suction attachment. I'm wondering if I needed all but on the way! I have dehydrated elderberries from last yr. In a jar, alone, doing very well.....
I want to try some veg chips this year. Maybe some dog treats for DD dogs. 😊 I have a mandolin for fine slicing the potatoes. Love the sweet potato ones, not the bag price. This will be useful....l buy cases of sweets on sale in fall.
