Figs, Pineapple, Strawberries, Plums are all really good.  I do almost all my jerky in it also.  I have also dehydrated soups, stews and chili that turned out great when rehydrated.  Just make sure any meat that goes in them is VERY lean.  Chicken and venison work very well when trimmed of all fat.  Beef, I found, does not work as good.

I'm selling dried morels for $150/lb wholesale right now. I'd be drying morels were I in your shoes.

I pick morels for personal use, but curious how many you need to collect to equal 1 lb dried  :tung:
6:1 ratio roughly

They can be used for all sorts of different foods, but I personally like dehydrating chicken or other meats for my hiking trips. Throw it in with your ramen noodles or something and boil. It will hydrate back up and you've now got protein with your carbs. Pretty basic suggestion, but useful when you're trying to be efficient.

I never trusted them to get hot enough for chicken. Maybe I'm wrong.


I cook chicken then dehydrate it. I dont use the dehydrator as a method for cooking anything, at least havent tried it yet.
I see - I've dehydrated plenty of red meat, without cooking and never had an issue.  But chicken, well it's chicken.

Yeah definitely grill it or something first.

Definitely do beef or deer jerky.  I have picked up some great easy to make recipes from a YouTube guy named T-Roy.

I can't believe I waited so long to start making jerky at home.

I saw some of this done, it looked great!

Jerky is something I definitely want to do, just gotta YouTube up a good recipe!

I have always used the High Mountain Jerky Cure and seasoning. Tried several flavors, always come back to cracked pepper and garlic.

I dried some apples, pears, peaches and bananas yesterday, no prep, just sliced 'em and stuck 'em in there.   Turned out great!!  It surprised me how much flavor they still have when they are just dried out little crisps like that, I liked them a lot better than the store bought stuff I've had.  Almost like the flavor gets more concentrated or something. 

Next up is pineapple, kiwi, and dragonfruit.   :tup:

Once you try the pineapple, you will be addicted.  That is my form of candy.

OK, so I have to admit I had a recent failure.  Do not try to dehydrate watermelon.  That tasted like crap.  Got about 5 lbs of apricots going right now.
