Snacked on a few myself when the supplies were getting low.

That's thinking ! Don't have a dehydrator though . Are they worth getting ?

I have heard of people just using a box with a lightbulb - http://www.pennilessparenting.com/20...ade-dehydrator.

depends if you are going to use it or not really. I make my own fruit rollups and meat jerky and wouldnt be without one. 10kg of meat makes 3 kilo of jerky ,same nutrition and amount of meat,more taste but it weighs less.Saves a fortunes on buying the same crap from the shops all dripping in sugar and preservatives. The dog loved the stuff almost as much as I do.

oven on dead low with door open a crack and blower on does the same thing but slower.

I use an old clothesdryer,disconnected the belt so it wouldn't spin but still dried stuff, plenty of stuffed ones around for free.An old wire rack inside and your away..

stuff buying one for a few hundy


All you are doing is reducing the moisture content really so the bacteria wont rot it.
