Last week, I used my credit card reward points to get a food dehyrator. TJ and I planted so many tomatoes and hot peppers that there’s no way we’ll be able to use them all without some sort of preservation. I ended up getting the VegiKiln 6-tray dehydrator after reading a ton of articles and reviews for various dehydrators. I didn’t want one that was round, and I didn’t want one that dehydrated from the top or the bottom. This model dehydrates from the back, so all the trays get dried evenly and at the same time.
I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, because I want to have enough stuff to fill all the trays. I want to try fruits and vegetables. Dehydrate2Store has some really great videos on YouTube about dehydrating food, and she uses only lemon juice to prevent discoloration and to help prevent spoiling. I like that much better than Sodium bisulfite or some other poisonous-sounding chemical.
I can’t wait to try it out!
