Ok. So I have this:
wrapped up to give to my eldest daughter, who has become quite the chef in the last few years. She has a "burning only" toaster, REALLY a fire hazard, and wanted a replacement. I found her this. The only reason I didn't buy the bigger one is space.
The REASON for this one, besides good quality, is that it is ALSO a dehydrator.
I used to have 2 dedicated dehydrators, YOU know, the ones with the stacking trays. One died, but I still used the other one this year and dehydrated my sweet pepper and jalepano harvest with it.
DD Really likes to use fresh herbs. I thought I would plant her some sage, thyme, certainly "grows like a weed" basil, which I can grab a bunch of my one and stuff them in the ground and watch them spread. Those herbs that I have dehydrated I think keep well in canning jars and still taste pretty good. Plus, I have 4 basil plants on top of my fridge that FINALLY decided to sprout up and reach for the light, and I could give her a couple of them, if they make it through the winter.
Does anybody have any experience with this machine for dehydrating?
