FWIW I don't treat my apples with anything and the only turn slightly brown. 
Won't hurt nothin. ;)

Check out the dehydrator page on my site (sig line) for photos and ideas.

Thank you all for the tips and yummy ideas! My first batch of fruit turned 
out pretty good, I'm just worried now about how to actually stock up as we have 
eaten most of what I dried last night! No wonder I hear of these dehydrators 
running "all winter long"!

Happy Hiking!

Hi!

I received a food dehydrator as a gift last week and just put in my first trays 
of apple, pineapple and bananas to see how this thing works. Are there any 
favorite dehydrator recipes that you love or tips that I could play with as I 
get to know my new machine?

I was planning on looking up online if it is possible for me to dehydrate home 
made chili or soups. Has anybody had experience with this?

The instruction book indicates dried foods may be stored for approx. a week on 
counter, a month in fridge and many months in a freezer. I had planned on 
dehydrating this winter to send over the summer months but am concerned by the 
storage time table I read. Did I misunderstand or are they perhaps being overly 
cautious? Should I be freezing my dried foods now and have my support person add 

to my boxes last minute? What have you all done as I know I have read of many 
accounts of dehydrators running all winter long to prepare for the summer 
months. I was thinking about getting a vacuum sealer for storage.

Thanks!
 Lisa
