    Okay, so I have been to 4 stores looking for dried? mushrooms and gave up.Then I watched this video this morning. An hour later hubby came home and i had him take me to Bed bath and beyond and bought the dehydrater. Then we went to walmart and got mushrooms. As i speak I am making my own dehydrated mushrooms. boy have you created a monster. We also bought a canning book. so much for no room in the RV.

    So every time that I? go to by something dehydrated on sale I say well,1.06 1b net weight, what would be the total weight? I just dont know what 48 dollars really buys me? 78 cents a lb is still a good deal at the store, but for long term storage id just like to know what you have figured out for the actual weight you pay for.

    I’m? really glad that you like my videos. Yes, I blanch both the squash and the potatoes. I’ve never dehydrated lettuce. I don’t believe it would work very well.

    Oh, you bet, they dehydrate great. I just happen to have a huge stash of them that I purchased from the LDS cannery. If you’re going to dry them, you might want to put the dehydrator in your garage, if possible, because the onion smell can get pretty intense in? your house.

    Oh my goodness, I must have have been out of it last night. I just reread my original question and it just dawned on me how ridiculously stupid? that sounded. Of course, it’s 1/3. Ha. Thanks for responding though. I think my post turkey lethargy has worn off and I have my brain back finally 🙂

    Very soon I’ll be buried in myer lemons. If I peel and section the lemons do you think they could become usable? I had a big failure with kiwi. I have? no idea where the sugar goes, but I dried totally ripe and sweet fruit. The sugar went away, the tart leaps out, and the seeds become very, very prominant. We grow them here, so what I dried was vine ripened, and really excellent when I started. Not so when I finished. Yuck.

    Shanda ~ It really depends on how much your family eats at one meal. I know that my family will eat a 1# bag of frozen vegetables at a meal, so I’d use 1/3 of the jar I showed. You have to experiment to see how to best? meet your family’s needs.

    Completely new to dehydrating so I’m so glad I found you! It is so amazing how many bags of veggies fit in a quart jar. Did you say three bags of mixed? veggies in there?! With that said, if you want rehydrate a “bag”, how much do you take out of the jar? I just asked a similar question on another video and she said she usually takes out half (that was with shredded carrots). Does that stand true for everything? Thanks 🙂

    I’ve been meaning to make a video on that for more than a year. I’ll try? to get it made next week rather than try to explain it all in a reply. It’s soaking in acid water after they’re peeled, and also after they’re cut…all along then way, blanching, cooling, and then on the dehydrator.

    When I vacuumed them, I did it in a bag; however, I am awaiting the attachment for? the food saver to be able to do jars and as soon as it arrives, I will trans to a jar and keep an eye on it. That is a great tip you gave me, thnx.
