In 2020 I made and jarred up some thick round bread-and-butter sweet #pickles that turned out... mushy.

They taste good, but the mouth feel is a problem. The ones I haven't eaten? I'm never gonna eat.

But before I throw them away...

Today I have the #dehydrator running to make some #okra #chips. The experiment: I'm gonna dehydrate these mushy pickles and make pickle chips. It's a no-cost low-effort last-ditch attempt to avoid both food hoarding behavior but also food waste.

Quite pleased with the food dehydrator gadget I bought a few days ago. I now have a jar full of dried Morello cherries, some of which will go into this year's Christmas pudding.

Doing some #DadProjects around the house.

Starting by dehydrating about 1/100th of my oregano to grind and powder. We'll see how well they dried out in like 8 hours lol.

Just this week, I ran out of #dehydrated #limes. Fortunately, just this week, my lime tree started shedding ripe fruits. I'll be firing up the #dehydrator again before I know it.

Yay grocery order done. I've got time to make my granola for the week. I've been putting dried apple in it from our dehydrator which is really nice.

Beef jerky was a success! Red Chile from #NewMexico, garlic powder, extra red pepprs, Worcestershire sauce, a bit of salt. 8 hours in the #dehydrator at 160F. Yum! #beefjerky #diy

@emag Hmmm. Does it start with an S?..

In recent years, I have purchased a modest (6 litre) stovetop #PressureCooker, a #dehydrator, a large (5 litre) #fermenting jar, and a #PelletGrill. Barely a meal goes by without me utilising one or other (sometimes *all*) bit of apparatus.

I'm becoming my Grandparents...

How to dehydrate garlic and make your own garlic powder.

#TIL you can use a #dehydrator (or an air frier/convection oven with a dehydrate function in my case) to recrispify #cereal that's gone stale. 30 minutes at 150°F and it was good as new.

Just over a month on from my first #dehydrator outing, I've finally had a chance to make beef jerky! It's super good, but oops I accidentally made it too spicy for the kids so I GUESS I'll have to eat it all myself. What a shame.

After about 10 hours in the #dehydrator, as well as maybe 5 hours in the cold smoker (before & after dehydration). 2.1kg of corned beef has become 575g of the best #jerky I've ever made.

I had a craving for homemade raisins. Boiled for 45 seconds to help break the skins, then 12 hours at 140F in the food dehydrator. Most of them were done at that point, a small handful needed to go back in for another few hours. #snacks #raisins #preservation #dehydrator

Got a food #dehydrator for Christmas. For its first outing, pineapple slices liberally seasoned with hot sauce from my brother's pepper farm, Bringers of the Burning Berry.

SO. GOOD. Definitely doing this again.

I just got a #dehydrator yesterday and I am Very Excited about this as a tool for making camping food that doesn't need a fridge. So far I have done apple rings, bolognese, cooked pasta, grated cheddar, sliced onion, carrot sticks, and sprigs of mint. Next up: more apple, banana, hummus, and whatever else I can find in the fridge/pantry/garden that suggests itself.

I bought a #dehydrator a while ago, as my solitary #lime tree consistently produces 40+kg of fruit each year. As well as dried limes, I regularly make batches of #jerky, dried #fermented tomatillos, plums, etc.

I imagine I *could* dry herbs quite easily, but I fear the powerful fan in my unit would simply make a mess of the end result...

Good luck!

This year we had a bumper crop of garlic in our little garden 59 large bulbs of red Russians. 3-4 large cloves in each bulb. Chopped, dehydrated and ground most of it up for garlic powder. The rest was planted for next year. #food #cooking #preservation #dehydrator
