I am new at dehydrating, I put a bunch of 1/4 in banana slices in the dehydrator and after 12 hours they were like leather, any tips?? Thanks !!

@Sudhira

At my web site Dehydrate2store. com I have a tip section that will help answer many questions.

If you use bananas that are a little on the green side, spray with lemon juice, use stainless steal knifes ( I like using a meat slicer so everything is cut the same thickness) you will have a crisper banana chip. Remember, the older the fruit the higher the sugar content and more pliable the food. Hope I have helped. Tammy

i have a question, i bought a cheap food dehydrator and for corn, if the holes in the tray are too big, is there a way to use something like cheap screen?

[Dehydrate2store]

Hi magicster123

I have been told by some of my viewers that craft stores have plastic food friendly screens. Another place is a kitchen supply stores such as Bed Bath and beyond. Make sure you do not use metal screens of any kind they can heat up and burn your food. Hope I have helped. Tammy

Thanks Tammy, Have another question, Have you ever done wild blackberries? Is the time of year. They are smaller than tame ones, Seeds are a lot smaller

[Dehydrate2store]

Hi Gardeninggirl,

I have done blackberries from a berry farm only. You want to make sure only rinse the berries right before your ready to dehydrate. Place on paper towels to get them as dry as possible, mist with lemon juice. Then throw them on the dehydrator. I would think the same would apply to the wild ones. let me know how they turn out.

Tammy has amazing knowledge....Her clips are very informative. Listen to what she is saying and believe her when she says there's a freight train coming.

[Voleenian]

These are great teachings. I'd like to know where to get the manual chopper you used on the apples...thanks!

[tigerlilyv10]

Could you do a video on rehydrating and ways to use the dehydrated food? Thanks!

Just as good as Part 1

[alexrj2]

what kind of lemon juice though?

[WithurShield]

Tammy, have you attempted to dehydrate avocados? I know it probably sounds a bit nuts to attempt it but my hubby has a stomach problem and has to eat avocados. I would like to buy a whole bunch when it's on a great sale ($.44-$.98 each), but am afraid of it spoiling before he gets through them all. Sometimes the prices are just ridiculously high (i.e $1.98-$2.50 each), and then I won't buy any.

@homeismn Just google oxygen absorbers. Ebay, amazon, many websites have them. 100 cc for the jars. And don't expose them to air for long, put them into a jar fast. They only keep for about 6 months I believe. They are good for long term storage especially. Another way to go is the vacuum jar sealer, if you have a Food Saver. Or if you get one make sure it has that attachment (port hole and tubing). It sucks the air out of the jar.

@LuxAuterna My oven actually has a "drying" cycle/function (it's convection also). It uses the fan and has a magnet that props the oven door open for circulation. That is what I use. It also depends on if your oven has setting that go low enough, 100 - 125*

I don't have a meat slicer.  I checked my food processor and the slices are really thin!

What size do you cut most things? a quarter of an inch?
