American Harvest Dehydrator

http://www.milkandhoneyfarm.com/sales/dehydrator.html Sarah Lea uses two of the American Harvest dehydrators during the harvest because it's the best and most economical way to preserve food. The dehydrator can make dried fruits and vegetables, beef jerky and fruit roll ups as well. Get more information at the Milk and Honey Farm web site.

@FatDancer08

Thank you. I think Laura Busch is a classy lady and she was nice too.

Do you have any trouble with fruit flies getting in to the dehydrator? I have had this problem with other units, which contaminates the fruit?

[brobob777]

@helentc - There's a small blower in the base unit that keeps a positive air pressure - in other words - any openning has air coming out of it. We dehydrate outside with fly and fruit fly and none get inside.

So you do not cook your vegetables before dehydrating?

[brobob777]

@Aramark - nothing gets cooked. The low moisture content of the dryed foods prevents them from molding or spoiling.

You should treat the banana slices with some lemon juice and honey to keep them from browning, and add some sweetness.

[brobob777]

@MiniMimi40 I'm pretty sure you can. We had a lot of cantaloupe and turned it into a tasty snack.
