I have been following you for a very long time... I do not know why I bother with other peoples videos!?! Everytime I'm looking for something, I always end up going back to you :D
Just found you! Planning a marathon next weekend. Meanwhile, I like how much information you cram into a few minutes. I'm new to vegetarian/raw food prep so I need all the help I can get :) P.s. American here - I kept thinking you were saying "cow chips" lol
I'm looking forward to trying this recipe (in my dehydrator). Wow, I didn't know they are making stoves with a dehydrator option. Thank you for posting your recipes on your website!
Hi Kimmy. it's called za'atar and is a particular herb/spice blend and there are a few brands that make it. I think it's Middle Eastern in origin and tends to include thyme, lemon, sumac and some other herbs. You could probably make your own blend if you find a recipe.
This is such a great idea zataar spice kale chips .perfect . I love zataar ,I love tahini and I am addicted to kale chips ! I am going to try in my oven . Can you make this without nutritional yeast ? Do I need garlic powder or can I just use garlic ? Maybe I will make pesto kale chips too and Korean chili chips .
The chef didnt even reply, bummer. Come one, at least he should be appreciated that people like u follow his videos and thanks to us, he can continue doing this on you tube. Bummer and disappointed that he didnt bother to take time to reply
Thanks for this recipe, can't wait to try it! I'm just a bit confused about closing the oven door because I've heard cooks say you have to leave the door slightly open when dehydrating. Is this only applicable for a conventional oven?
It really does depend on the oven. The one I was using here goes very low in temp and has a great fan, but if you don't have that, you might need to leave the door open, yes.
Dehydrator sheet? How is it different than using tin foil or silicon? Low temp? Well any suggestions? Fan setting? Will convection work? Loads of questions very little information? I’m sure you’re chips are great but your title says dehydrator vs oven.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll consider an updated video with your suggestions. To answer them now... In all cases I can think of, you'd be OK using silicone or foil, although you might find foil tricky to spread stuff on. The dehydrator sheets are not expensive and can be used in an oven perfectly OK, so getting a few of those would be an option. I explained that different ovens have different temperatures, so go for the lowest yours goes. Most raw food recipes ask for 105F to 115F. I did also explain that you want the fan on. The title of the video doesn't say 'dehydrator vs oven', it says 'Do you need a dehydrator for your raw food', which is why the video is aimed at that question.
I've not tried, but I'm sure it can be done. Still use the lowest temp and test it. Keep an eye on it, see if you need the door slightly open and make sure you time it. That way you'll get an idea how long it takes Vs a recipe that shows dehydrator time.
dear sir i want to know i have OTG oven. how can i use it as a dehydrator. please tell me for how much time i can keep my dry fruits and what would be the temp. and so i need to keep my oven door open. i have only one fan it that.
+kimmyjeans2 Sumac a Middle Eastern/Arabic condiment made from ground sumac berries, sesame seeds, salt and a crushed desert herb that's a cross between oregano and marjoram. You can easily find it these days, mainly at deli's, Middle Eastern supermarkets and even health food stores.
The commercial grade Excalibur dehydrator I would like cost a fortune. I need a new oven anyway so I was wondering if any convection oven can be a true dehydrator. I never use my oven but would like to have the dehydrator so if I can find the convection oven that works the best as a dehydrator, getting one appliance that does both is the ticket. I don't want a convection oven that can be used as a sloppy dehydrator. I want a convection oven that works as a great dehydrator. Any suggestions where to look for the right convection oven? That means an oven that can maintain a constant 110 Fahrenheit.
that I know of, convection Dehydrators don´t work as a excalibur would to obtain crispiness and best results... so, I don´t know if a convection Oven will achieve this. Very good reviews in Amazon as well as some videos in youtube, when they actually do tell about these very important issues.
@@therawchef thanks, quick one again: I dont have a dehydrator device, I bought the dehydrator sheet only, Can I place it on top of regular tray and place it in the oven (just regular oven without a fan), its kinda old oven. Wonder if I leave it slightly open the door of the oven to get some ventilation for 4hours would be good enough to dehydrate the kale? thanks
It’s hard to say without seeing the oven, but not having a fan makes it trickier. You’ll have to use as low heat as possible and maybe slightly leave the door open and keep checking on them.
Thought this was about using an oven for dehydrating.... not about your recipe for kale chips. 6.5 minutes making your recipe on an 8 minute video...sheesh
Wired Bounty: Absolutely agree! All I wanted to know about was how to dehydrate my Elderberries in an oven, *without* a sauce.* Pity also that The Raw Chef is so ill bred with his sarcastic reply too. Arrogant narcissism.
The Raw Chef I'm pretty sure you said get to know your oven to use it for a dehydrator AND you did mention if the dehydrator calls for say 12 hours it will go considerably shorter in the over.... I have no problem applying dis to other fruits and veggies.... but then ag ain, I use common sense that some do not have.... this video is not for those lacking in such....
What the hell are you looking at off camera? Do you not know where the camera is. Look at the camera so you're looking at your audience, not off in the horizon.
How about you don't be dumb. I know he's looking off camera for another angle, but he needs to address his audience by facing them. How would you like it if someone who was talking to you was looking 90 degrees to the left?
Love u man & thank you for giving me strength on my raw food journey
Silicone baking sheets are good too
use an oven. with or without fan. but measure the temperature. max 45 degrees. done.

Thanks for stopping by, Wilma.
Basically same things, that I’ve been doing with my oven :)

Thank you for your tips @the Raw Chef in Jamaica where I live South Western end we have so many mangoes wasting
Brilliant! Thank you so much for this helpful advice.
You’re welcome! :)

Amazing!! Thank you.
For the love of kale, why cant someone make a blender that is easier to pour the mix out of.
Haha, I feel your pain.
Useful info.. I've learn something new things from you chef.. thank you
Thanks, Lena :)

hi raw chef can you please tell me how to dehydrate celery and onions in the oven thanks
Wow!! Very helpful... thanks!
:)
Thank you!
Another great video, very good instructions and info. Thanks!
But in the beginning you confused blog with youtube in one instance, I think.
Can I dehydrate milk the same way? I want to make my own milk powder.
Good idea
Hye Russel, where is the link for the recipe? thanks a lot!

Ok thanks!
I hope this works in a counter top convection oven🤞. I'm trying to think of things that optimize foraging and RV life. Thanx😺&☺✌
Let us know how it goes :)

I never wanted to be kale so bad, in my life!!

They are out there. All you have to do is look for one that had a dehydration setting

Hello chef, Please suggest the mode and temperature using in oven for dehydrate vegetable.
As close to 115 degrees F as you can get.
My oven goes down to 30c is that too low?
Yes, you want around 40c
hye chef. what about the temperature? do we need to set the same temperature as in using dehydrator or less 2 times ?
I do mention that in the video :) If your oven goes down to the same temp as a dehydrator, then do the same.
Hi, quick question, did u soak the cashews overnight for that recipe? thanks
As a general rule, always soak nuts. Cashews are fine after only 30 mins or so
@@therawchef thanks, quick one again: I dont have a dehydrator device, I bought the dehydrator sheet only, Can I place it on top of regular tray and place it in the oven (just regular oven without a fan), its kinda old oven. Wonder if I leave it slightly open the door of the oven to get some ventilation for 4hours would be good enough to dehydrate the kale? thanks
@@therawchef can u please let me know asap? i would love to give it a try if possible tonight if I can still make it under 4 hours?

@@therawchef thanks a lot chef
Can the food be dehydrated in the sun?
If the sun gets up to 105 to 115 F, yes :)
how long is the shelf life??
+mwaniki macharia the kale chips will last a week in a sealed container
no link!!!! :(
Nutritional yeast is raw???
It's not.
What if your oven has no fan
You can still use it, but you’d have to keep an eye on it to see when it’s done
Yay someone with a brain!!! 😁😂🙌🏻Lol
What😂😂😂😂😂

Stupid camera tricks.
Camera tricks?
+The Raw Chef idk maybe he thinks your lying about something
What the hell are you looking at off camera? Do you not know where the camera is. Look at the camera so you're looking at your audience, not off in the horizon.
he often is looking right us... don't be such a wanker and focus on what is important.
He's actually not looking off camera. The other is just giving us another angle...don't be dumb.
How about you don't be dumb. I know he's looking off camera for another angle, but he needs to address his audience by facing them. How would you like it if someone who was talking to you was looking 90 degrees to the left?
