Food Dehydrators

[Scottishnewbie]

i made a fruit leather for the first time yesterday with my gifted 93,000,000 plums and i have to say, despite what i expected, it was really tasty! So the thought of doing them in this wee machine sounds pretty cool too...hope it comes soon

one thing that looked really interesting in tyhe viewable manual on the site was the fact that you can also make fruit leather in it, just spread the fruit puree onto a sheet of baking parchment then pop it in the drier.

I saw that on a couple of different sites about dehydrating. How would you eat it? Just on its own? Or should I make shoes out of it?

[Scottishnewbie]

if you've ever seen fruit winders that get sold near the kids sweets section, it is like that. just roll it up and munch your way through it! great!

.........................Yes, definately getting one now, just need to decide where I can fit it in my kitchen.

Better get some ear defenders if you're putting it in the kitchen..............mine is consigned to the spare bedroom, with the door shut as well! You have been warned!

Didn't realise they were noisy. but my bedroom is the other end of the house, so i'm gussing it's not so noisy that it'll keep me awake from there or annoy the neighbours...will it?

Oh yes it's noisy! That's why I run it when I'm out the house on a timer.

Anyone taken delivery of theirs yet?

[OllieMartin]

I got an e-mail on Thursday to say they'd dispatched it. Sadly I've been away for the weekend so I might have missed it.
Will post once I've had a go.

Still pretty excited

[Scottishnewbie]

[OllieMartin]

They certainly take their sweet-chuffing-time!

[Scottishnewbie]

[SMS6]

Mines all loaded up with tomatoes ready to go on over night. I'll let you know how it goes

[Jeanied]

Can't wait to find out - mine's on order still - could be next week before I get it!

I've never even thought about this before, but I want one now. Might give it a go.
