[pct-l] Food Dehydrators

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

Wow, I hope not. But, I don't know - yet. Guess I may know when we get the next electric bill. But, I sure wouldn't be surprised - it has been on 24-7 for the last 2 weeks. The unit is quite hot and the fan keeps blowing hot air - it is noisy.

But, guess it is a trade off. If you needed to purchase dehydrated meals, you would spend a lot - and not get what you want nor know the nutrition/calories. Each to their own.

    My wife is busy dehydrating food as I write. She got an American Harvest
    Snackmaster Dehydrator and likes it. The temperature can be adjusted.  She
    recommends you get sold trays rather than the mesh trays. Anything liquid
    drips through the mesh trays. She found this at Wal-mart several years ago.

  I'd heard that dehydrators cause your electric bills skyrocket.  Is that true?
