Making Dehydrated Bananas in a Power Air Fryer Oven

[@gardenhilary]

I just looked it up it’ll cost about $ 0.30 to 1.20 to dehydrate fruits, varying because of the numerous different types of air fry appliance. This is still cheaper than store bought. Still a better option since you know what ingredients you used and how your food was prepped

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

Thanks for the numbers! I agree!

[@daphneraven6745]

Hillary A.Q. It’s a really useful storage option as well, because it reduces the bulk of the food down so significantly. I dehydrated 50 pounds of potatoes a couple of weeks ago. They went from being 50 pounds to fit into five Ziploc bags, the larger freezer ones. And I could easily hold all of them in one hand. Onions and herbs dehydrate down smaller again, as to root vegetables. During the pandemic, I got Covid. I had it for a year. My freezer died at the same time. I was just so sick that I could only save a little bit of my frozen food. This may become more relevant in the near future. The government says that before the end of this summer, we can expect food shortages and energy shortages. If we’re keeping our food in the freezer, Energy shortages are not our friend. Having dehydrated food means being able to store it safely, even where there are energy shortages. If a person were to pair that with a ceramic filter that has a natural particle filter mounted immediately above it, a person would have clean water, and excellent quality food to get by.

My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first kzbin.infoUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!

[@CorriGross]

Riper or greener? Those are opposite things??

[@kristinakilby6798]

Most people use these if they are into foodies or prepper. But if you food that goes to waste. Its a good way to save money by dehydrating foods.

[@MrDbz9001]

What’s the shelf life on these

[@ba2911]

Green bananas aren't ripe. They turn more yellow and get brown spots when they ripen.

[@sleeknub]

Yeah, so which one do you think it better? I would assume ripe, but sounds like he suggests the opposite.

[@samrichardson6605]

Base them in lemon juice or a turmeric mix.

[@patricen7157]

Some people like their bananas with a bit of green on the skin,especially if trying to avoid the overly ripe sugary flavor.

[@samrichardson6605]

@@patricen7157 agreed, that's the only reason why I suggested lemon juice or at turmeric mix, that way you get that more greenish or yellowish look after you dehydrate them.

[@kambios360bymichigilbes9]

Did u say 8 hours?!

[@kristinakilby6798]

Yes it's low and slow like bbq

[@bluegoose6913]

I just bought one of these. Thanks for the demo. The expansion metal grate is covering around 25% of the area beneath the banana. Im going to try flipping them at the 4 hour mark. This should dry them out faster and give them a different texture.

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

Air fryers definitely don't circulate heat as well as I'd like. Small space with one heat source. Rotating is a must.

[@goofballs4]

I spray with Pam Or cooking spray so they won’t stick

[@Buster5ive]

You have to eat the finished product. Isn’t that the rule?

[@psychedelicpython]

Funny!

[@naomibedek1701]

8 hours? That's a lot longer than I thought it would take.

[@NsskMedia]

I do mines in 10 minutes

[@garnettjaeger2035]

Hi I have the omni plus. Is time and different?

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

Not sure!

[@joannathegreatt]

Did they taste good? gummy still or did they harden? I’m considering getting one of these (as opposed to a traditional air fryer)

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

They were not gummy! As I mentioned, the longer you leave them in the crispier they will get. Turned out really good, with good flavor too. Good luck.

[@3fiddy2720]

joannathegreatt I hope you got the power air fryer pro plus.

[@jiberri]

So you said the riper the bananas the better and then said it would be good to get them more green. Anytime I have riper bananas, any green is definitely gone. Could you please clarify?

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

I guess this is confusing. I think mushy bananas would be harder to dry out, so the riper when you buy them. In terms of cooking, we always say riper is when they are spotted and brown, making them more flavorful. For dehydration, use green.

[@jiberri]

@@RandomReviewsHowTos Got it, thanks!

[@perfectwunn]

I've been using my air fryer all day lol. I've had it for about 7 months now and never used till today.. That's all I'm using from now on. Its the same fryer like this one.. Paid 100bucks for it..

[@allenowens4475]

Looks pretty good, I just wished you try a few to look us know what they taste like

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

It tastes good

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I would use green bananas, cut them a bit thinner and spray a little oil and add some BBQ seasoning, then do them on a bit higher temperature, air fry them. YUM, I think! I love those thai banana chips, maybe they’ll be a bit like those? Mmmmmmmm... ☺️😋

[@CBReptiles1]

🤮

[@mommac4374]

Have you tried other fruit in air fryer I hear dried apple chips and pears cook well dehydrated and also try sweet and regular chips in air fryer great video now I know how long what temp what's also good is kale chips

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

I haven't tried any other fruit, but that all sounds good! I will give it a go. Thanks for the idea.

[@edawnd4321]

I've done apples and pears, both come out wonderful.

[@rh8528]

As far as electricity.. it must cost a fortune

[@TheDNW]

Nope. Even at 1500 watts for 8 hours at $0.12 KWH it'd be $2.16 Just find what your KWH is where you are.

[@KF1]

Even less than that, as the low power of dehydrating would consume much less than if it was on blast ​@@TheDNW

[@TheDNW]

@@KF1 exactly

[@TheDNW]

The XL version of this fryer uses 1500 watts. For 8 hours at $0.12 KWH it's $2.12

[@SomeAB]

I think you should have Air-fryed them at 350 temperature for 10 minutes max. Microwave will keep them soft, but air-fryer should harden them quickly. I think your air-fryer is not correct choice for this task.

[@SarahPoulin]

What size oven is this? 6 qt? 8 qt?

[@RandomReviewsHowTos]

It is 6qt.

[@aznericxD]

8 hr? How much does that cost on the electricity?

[@chrish7975]

That's about 27 bags of store bought banana chips.. lol

[@x0scimy0x]

@@chrish7975 No it's definitely not lol. I don't know how much the air fryer costs to run per hour, but for comparison: My desktop PC can stay on for 24 hours straight (aka 3x as long as these bananas baked) and costs less than $1. So no.

[@BRExteriorPro]

What he should do is hook it up to one of those kilowatts that you can buy at home Depot and show the cost

[@Lemon-xb9zf]

4 hours? I'm out I'll just eat the Banana the old fashion way.

[@Monado6]

You can actually make them in 15 min. 375 degrees. Flip and repeat. Save energy and time

[@thaddeusjd]

Monado6 thank you so much. I have an air Fryer like this so thank you!!

[@jessicatu1399]

This doesn't work either. It burned and mushy

[@ParisMilanIamParisMilan]

Absolutely not , don’t do this guys

8 hours?!?!?!

8 hours.

[@sonyamayo931]

you may wish to do a bit more research on drying bananas,I'm just saying

[@aznericxD]

Sonya Mayo what do you mean?

[@michaelnoeldner3279]

I agree. I always soak my bananas in lemon juice for 10 minutes before I dehydrate. It keeps them from turning brown.
