I *keep* meaning to come back to this thread and update...

We (ok, I ) would still like a dehydrator, but in the meantime I discovered that our oven has a "keep warm" function. I can choose to keep it at 100-150F - checked it w/ a thermometer and it was accurate. Wooo hooo! So now I can make crispy nuts w/o worrying about deactivating(?) the enzymes after soaking. Now I just have to find a good source for raw almonds, lol! Always something new to buy/find, lol.

So, anyway, check your oven! I'd *never* paid attention to that button. It was a fun thing to find (it's not a really fancy oven, but newish - maybe 5 years old)

I also took took advantage of the Excalibor sale!

Thank you Lianne!
The only thing with using your oven is that it costs more to run when dehydrating your items. The dehydrator unit is suppose to only cost about 3 cents per hr. to run as compared to your oven.
We also came across a site we LOVE that has videos to watch about dehydrating foods. We especially love to watch the making of the pumpkin pies and the freezing of store purchased frozen foods! :0)
Try visiting the website;

I thought it was funny when they told you that you could use their Excalibor Dehydrator to dry mittens and warm BOOTS!
You can also use the dehydrator to raise bread and other yeast items!
