Food Dehydrator

[Jay-ell]

I haven't tried jerky or bolting but I find courgette crisps are totally Morris, as are dried strawberries, kale, Apple's, bananas, kale, tomatoes, etc.

I bought a couple of very fine mesh oven sheets from the pound shop which are great for doing fruit leathers on and I've just got a couple of tins of Bachelor's condensed soup that I'm going to try drying to make instant cupper soup.


The only things that I've dried that I wasn't to impressed with were beetroot (I sliced them too thick) and carrots (which I only like raw an fresh anyways)

Interesting expression, not heard it before. I guess in this context it means "cool, handsome, sexy, loving, loyal, smart, great sexual performer"? I might start using it.

The other urban dictionary possibilities are, ahem, rather too rude for a forum such as this...

Agree that courgette crisps are nice though

That'll be down to fat thumbs and the stupid autocorrect. They are of course Moorish meerkat Morrison ( sod it they're very nice)


If you're applying that definition to courgette, are you slicing it first? :0

Ate loads of kudo in South Africa, was really lovely but I liked croc too (although not as nice as a big fat kudo steak ). Couldn't see any for sale on the site but it may be seasonal. Probably as well for me really as I like to buy locally and am not sure we can farm it over here so I can avoid any ethical dilemmas . There is an ostrich farm round here though (Preston-ish I think) which I've bought from at markets on several occasions.

Just looked it up Alison, Ashtonexoticmeats.com front page has the meats for sale, paypal taken

I bought one a couple of years ago but got bored with it fairly quickly. Dried tomatoes, and made fruit leather from pulp. Banana's were a disaster though!
Probably my low attention span that consigned it to I know not where!

Just got a text saying that my niece wants a couple of jars of dehydrated apple for Christmas and my sister wants dehydrated cherry tomatoes.

There's a couple of easy presents.

I've been toying with the idea of one for ages.

Suspect it might be something worth having as an allotment group to share as it's probably not something that gets used a lot of the time.

Trouble is that everyone will want it at the same time...Mine's been used most nights for a while, but will go under the bed with the sloe gin till summer in a month or so. Still building up stocks of apple rings and root crisps, as well as drying herbs till then.

They don't have to be expensive. My Westfalia one was about £30 several years ago and earnt it's worth within the first year. Don't see the point in spending hundreds.

Anyone tried drying grapes...I've got loads and made more than enough jam, jellies etc.
