Hey guy, I have been drying stuff on the top of the fridge for years now and since the fridge is running anyway, I don`t really use the dehydrator much anymore, except for jerky. I don`t see the need.

@1fanger Interesting. Are you just using the dry heat from the coils of the fridge to dry the product? You should make a vid on that.

How long does ur dehydrated food last usually? Like how long before its no longer edible?

[03DexterHauler]

@33Vgrey Depends on how you store it. Air, light and moisture are your enemies. With that being said, it would last weeks if not months just in a ziplock bag, but if you put it in a mason jar or mylar bag with a O2 absorber it should last years if not decades.

I did not realize that frozen vegetables were blanched. Is that listed in the package info, only applies to certain vegetables? Thanks for the video! Thumbs up.

@kentuckyprepper1792 Haven't seen it on the package, but know that blanching seals in color and taste.  If you dry fresh from the garden you could get a dis-colored product.

@03DexterHauler Hey Dexter, Yeah, basically relying on the heat coming from the compressor, I`m having real trouble gittin back to doing videos, the battery I need for my camera is real hard to find. Can`t afford a new cam.. I use wicker paper plate holders to dry the stuff. Thanks

@imasurvivornthriver they can get a little loud :) so if you have a screened in back porched I'd recommend doing them there. Well worth the trouble when complete. Great in soups.
