RE: Dehydrator recipes - Can the Man - 29-08-2020
This makes sense Proserpina, when you consider freeze dried foods, say the red berries I. Cereals for example, they are frozen first and then dried under vacuum at low heat that removes the water content, I think in a freeze dryer they dry at around 30’C under vacuum to maintain the fruit structure.
Sounds like a good plan for yourself going forward getting your mum to dehydrate your fruit and veg into small quantities that don’t need refrigeration.

I’ve fancied a dehydrator for a while are there any recommendations for UK suppliers?

Proserpina, re cooking in 'digs' have you considered a multi-cooker? What we oldies back in the day used to call an electric frying pan. As a young girl in NZ they were all the rage. You could rustle up a one pot dinner in it if you have a plug and table/platform.

Alas, the tenancy agreement does say all electronics need to be PAT tested and approved by Estates. While they are willing to turn a blind eye to my travel kettle and hair straighteners, I think anything beyond that would be pushing it. Also, the rooms have very sensitive smoke alarms so, without an extractor fan in my room, I would live in horror of being the cause of the entire building having to traipse outside in the rain until the alarm can be shut off!

Such a shame, you're really restricted from every angle. When you've made friends with the other tenants (perhaps) you might get an idea of what everyone else does. My sympathies all round.

The electric frying pan was great, you could fry, roast and make a cake in it. Starting to wish i had one now!!
Anyway, that's not why I'm on this thread but because Aldi are selling Dehydrators for £29.99 if anyone fancies dipping their toe in to dry! The ad says free post over £30 so you'd need to buy something for a penny too..............unless its available in store somewhere. https://www.aldi.co.uk/ambiano-food-dehydrator-10l/p/705803419936500

That's very tempting Veggie, I'm in the process of talking myself out of it. Yet another gadget to take up either counter or cupboard space, neither of which are available, and I'm honestly asking myself how often I'd use it for just two of us who don't eat dried beans often, let alone dried anything else. Ooh but what a temptation at that price.
