    I think the cost of Gas running for a couple days would be much more than buying a dehydrator. I think you've made abot 12 ounces of tomatoes for about $25.00 Nice video but not very practical.

      @@priusdave2064 medium oven usage on medium heat (300 degrees) use avg 2400 watts. She stated she was in Texas avg price of a KWH is 11.67. She did say the lowest temp she could set was 175 degrees she also has the door open. So assuming a few days is 3 id be conservative ill use .11c KWH
      At that she would use $19.008.
      So my $10 would be a under estimate.

    Sit them under a fan for half an hour then put them in the oven at 100-120* with the door slightly open. After an hour take them out. Turn them over and repeat. When they can bend but not break they can be stored.

    • @sammi-joreviews1135
      @sammi-joreviews1135 Před 6 lety +2

      Considering dehydrators are heating a smaller source area, I have to agree with ChillEDog - I'll be investing in a dehydrator. Temps where I live often get as high as 100-115+/- degrees (F). This feels even higher when your AC is busted, like mine has been for the past 3-4 summers.
      I've been baking bread a lot these last several months, which has kept the house pretty warm this past winter. The bonus to running the oven has been the pretty amazing bread types I've made. Plus, the added heat from the oven has allowed me to cut back the thermostat & avoid using our brick gas heat units too. When temps are in the low double-digits to single digits, the heat from just leaving the oven door open after pulling bread is welcome. In the summer months with high heat temps outside, not to so much.

    I've seen videos about how commercial jelly candies made with modified cornstarch instead of gelatin such as Swedish Fish, Sour Patch, and Dots are made. I've seen a video of how Dots are made that says "after pouring the mixture into molds, they are left in a hot room to cure overnight at 160 degrees." I've seen recipes for gummy candies made with modified cornstarch (also called Clear-Jel) instead of gelatin that say to use a dehydrator. Is there a way to use the ability to use the technique in this video to make Clear-Jel gummy candies in oven-safe silicone molds and the lowest setting on one's oven?

    Leaving the door open lets the heat out, which means it is having to use much more power to maintain the required temperature, and defeating the object of putting the food in the oven in the first place. If dehydrating food in a gas oven, (gas ovens are common in the UK), it could also result in carbon monoxide poisoning unless there is adequate room ventilation.

      That doesn't work in all areas. If the climate where you live is wet, it doesn't work that way (seriously, even at 100 degrees in August we are so humid water condenses).
      If you live where it's cold, or doesn't get Texas-hot, then sun drying doesn't work.
      However, I don't bother to turn my oven on. I have a gas stove with a pilot light, so if I want to long-dry, I just leave the food on the lower rack and let the ambient heat do it.
      If I want to quick dry, I turn the oven on it's lowest temperature, and things tend to dry within a few minutes.
      Not all of us live in good sun-drying climates. But yes, I can't see running an oven for days.
