I was thinking about getting a dehydrator, mainly because of the amount of fruit my child consumes. Dehydrated fruit for the win. At least now I know I can do it in the oven. Thank you!
Good video.I almost bought a dehydrator until I saw this, then I checked out my Samsung electric oven, I didn't realize that it had a dehydrator setting on it, I tried it with some beef jerky strips, I let them hang down on the oven rack with a toothpick through each one to hold them. Came out great!
I like letting them soften up a little too, get them extra sweet! I like having the dehydrator because I can still use the oven but yeah use what you got!
Did you know you can use apple juice to prevent Browning and it's more sweet-tasting when they're done? I learned that this year and they take it so much better!
My mamaw used to clean her car and dry it well put a lace curtain down then throw a huge amount of apples and spread them evenly then throw lace curtains on the hood and the trunk of the car then cover the apples with another tight lace sheet to keep bugs off and let the sun shine thru! She wud spread a bucket of apples on the car!! She cud get alot of apples done this way and it only took a good hot day to do it...I love mamaws they are so smart! It's a good way to do onions to so they don't stink u outta the house! If u don't want to use ur car can use sheet metal as well or anything flat and reflective.. Godbless and shalom
I would worry the onions would burn our eyes out of the house. Even cooking one onions in the house my eyes burn for hours after. But, it got me thinking.
Thats an awsome comparisson. Lol I only have 1 cookie sheet. I need some more. I need to get around to your channel more offen. I noticed I didn't hit the bell. Doing that right now!!! I was tossing around the idea to get a dehydrator this christmas but i'm upgrading my vlogging camera set up instead.
Dehydrated apples are the best! What type of apples are you using? My wife and I do Granny Smiths. I would like to build a big sun dehydrator when I get moved to Nevada. - Jeff
I don't know what kind they are. The free kind. Kinda tart, a little green. My favorite dried are red delicious. But only if you get to them within 6 weeks off the tree. I know many people prefer the tart apples for drying. I must be an outlier. Thanks for watching. And yes you should get a huge sun dehydrator.
Would it be possible to use canning jars such as 4 oz or the jelly jars to put space in between your cookie sheets? So that way you would have more cookie sheets on rack....?
You can turn off the 12 hour beeping from hell by pressing the cooking time button, and Zero key at the same time for 3 seconds. The display will show 12 Hr or Hr (no shut off). Default is 12 Hr. Press 0 (zero) to toggle the feature on or off. Then press start/Set to save the setting. Also, before you put your dowels away for an extended period of time, i'd recommend wiping them down with some mineral oil so they don't get destroyed after a few seasons of being in the dehydrator.
I originally had a novel I was writing to you and decided on this instead: Please prepare food on counters... that's what they were made for. If you have too much clutter on your counters to make a video... throw everything on the counter in a box and give yourself the appropriate room and sanitary location to prepare and make a fantastic video. I wanted to listen to the important things you were sharing but I just couldn't get past why the heck you were preparing food on the floor. (busy mom is my guess since I've been in your shoes before but... don't post a public video trying to educate others if your not prepared yourself.) Put your best foot forward. : ) I only say these things because the world is cruel and nasty... I am only hoping to watch future videos' of yours without all the distractions. Take that with a grain of salt... maybe I'm the only one who couldn't hear what you were saying because of all the distractions.
You probably not the type to put in a real authentic homesteader work. In other countries all they have is the dirt pussies. It just amazes me that people love to voice how pathetic they are to the world. You mean people actually boast about how afraid of germs they are. Maybe that passes as wisdom these days instead of what it really is, Westernized fear disease.
“Use what you got till you can afford what you want”. Best advice ever!
Good idea, and looks neat in your oven

Thanks for sharing the oak doll rod method, definitely going to give it a try!
You have the best personality of all the people that have done dehydrating 🤩 videos, thank you 😀

You're kids were so cute at the end...The happy laughter and glee :) Blessed
Neat that your oven can be set to 100 degrees. Clever to use dowels. I bought two dehydrators at yard sales for a total of $7 a few summers ago.
That is an amazing deal. Can't beat that.
Why is everything on the floor??????
9 times 4 is is 37....😁 who cares when you have a nice lovely dried apples....
😂
I like letting them soften up a little too, get them extra sweet! I like having the dehydrator because I can still use the oven but yeah use what you got!
if you use beech dowels they have a natural antibacterial tendency which is why beech is usually used for kitchen tools etc.
Your over the top acting is doing my head inn.!
9x4=37? That good ol' American education system.
Did you know you can use apple juice to prevent Browning and it's more sweet-tasting when they're done? I learned that this year and they take it so much better!
That is a great tip. I am going to do that next time. Saves money too from buying lemon juice.
Thanks for sharing that!
does the sugar content add to the dehyration time?
@@RattledEditor Not in my experience.👍👍
What's the methods?
Dip before drying?
Sweet dry apples chips
I now have tray envy - mine only has the five trays!

Pineapples and I'm addicted to them too!
I wonder if the oven would work better if you left the apples in spirals. You could do onions this way too.
I would worry the onions would burn our eyes out of the house. Even cooking one onions in the house my eyes burn for hours after. But, it got me thinking.
Very helpful info. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!
Thanks!
Passed cooking class flunked math. One outta two aint bad.
Why on the floor? Not nice for food!
Bwahha, your reaction to the oven beeps and having the dropsies made me gigglesnort. ;)
Thanks for watching.
Please tell us what is the size of your oak dowels and where to buy them? Thank you for sharing.
Thats an awsome comparisson. Lol I only have 1 cookie sheet. I need some more. I need to get around to your channel more offen. I noticed I didn't hit the bell. Doing that right now!!!

It is so hard to decide what to get, but blogging will pay you back right? Thats the hope.
@@MamaGrows lol It is hard. I'm going for the M50 after all. My Gopro is retiring finally ;) Happy New years to you and your family :)
Love this

i'm curious to try this
but with potatoes
Would it be possible to use canning jars such as 4 oz or the jelly jars to put space in between your cookie sheets? So that way you would have more cookie sheets on rack....?
I prefer using the oven, even if it’s electric. It just has bigger capacity. Love the “Dowel” idea.
9x4=37 ? Hmm lol.

Japanese mandolin. That will help getting same size apples.
You say you put them in at 125 degrees, but for how long? Thanks.
Good question i burned mine
Love the oak dowel idea. But the shriveled up shape would drive me nuts. So I need a dehydrator.
Wow you're Genius very good so smart thanks for sharing Allah bless you always Ameen ❤️ ❤️
9*4 is 36

The problem about me making them for my family is that we cant make dinner with them ;-;
9 times 4 is 6 lol , no shade just a little laugh
Lady : Dehydration racks on the floor ....
Me: stop watching 🙄
I Totally Agree !!! Grossed me out !!!

9 times 4 is 36 ........... not 37 where did you learn math from ?
Wow, cooking off a filthy kitchen floor. Setting the bar for food hygiene, omg...
