Just a note, rodents will eat through Mylar bags. I lost a lot of food due to mice. Mylar bags will work, but put the bags of food in a bucket to keep the little devils out!

[@LeelaLu7]

Absolutely! But I've even had rodents chew holes in plastic buckets. Luckily they were after something I had stored as fertilizer, not food. And it might have been rats, not mice. Just a heads-up. If you know there are rodents you probably need metal or glass containers.

[@KowboyUSA]

@@LeelaLu7 Ain't that the truth! Rodents have chewed holes in our plastic water jugs and even our heavier plastic storage tubs. We've found that glass for smaller quantities of foods and steel trash cans with tight fitting lids for larger quantities work well.

[@gabbygertie8709]

How about a big cat, or Devon, not both at the same time.

[@Livetoeat171]

Wow, if you've got mice, that's your problem, not the mylar bags! Can't imagine excepting the fact that you have vermin in your home To determine how you store your food, but using a clothes bin that you can put under your bed is always helpful.

[@Growmap]

@@KowboyUSA Yes, but they get expensive. Mouse traps are good insurance. I bait the snap ones with cheap peanut butter so I don't have them in the house. They can squeeze through the tiniest holes. And protect your seed supply because that is what they'll go after first!

☺To prevent browning, soak a few minutes in water with a little vinegar, or lemon/lime juice squeezed into it. Then proceed to dehydrate. ☺Then you can use that liquid to make bone broth, lots of starch and some minerals will be in that water. The little bit of vinegar helps get calcium from the bones into the broth. I would do it very slowly over hours, in a crockpot. Add water when needed. Vegetables towards the end.

When you've evaporated as much as you think you can without burning the starch, transfer thickened liquid to fruit roll up trays. I haven't tried it ---> you may be able to make very shallow pans from aluminum foil to fit your trays, especially if you have square trays. Or use cut down disposable type plastic food storage containers to make dehydrating pans to fit.

Yup ... Great thickener for stew or gravy ... I'm not really fond of the flavor of flour ...

Awesome video! Got a new dehydrator for Christmas and don't really know how to use it so thank you very much for this information !

Half Acre Dreams have fun!

You might want to start by dehydrating drained canned pineapple rings. My kids used to love them dried.

Dehydrators are great for preserving the small amounts of stuff that aren't worth canning or can't be frozen.. For years I bought celery and cilantro for some dish and ended up throwing the leftovers out after it went bad. Now I dehydrate it - no waste & I don't need to buy more the next time I make the dish. Or if your garden only produces a few tomatoes, peppers, whatever, not enough to can - dehydrate them.
