dehydrator question?
    #12040402 - 02/16/10 02:38 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

so i'm now the proud owner of a 5 tray ronco food dehydrator...
i bring it home and open it up, and to my suprise it's a convection food dehydrator. no fan..
so besides the slower drying time, is this a problem and will the heat destroy the magic salts inside?
also, i had some drying they seemed cracker dry and after a couple days resting on the trays inside the dehydrator, they appear dry but feel moist and limp. Any suggestions?

It's fine. After you get them mostly dry, finish them with desiccant.

Yeah, after like 24-36 hours, or when they stop drying in the dehydrator.
We dry mushrooms much drier than most dehydrated foods are dried.

cool thanks.
i'm drying some B+.. they seem flimsier than most or than say the Koh samui, since they are not meaty like them.....
is it normal that even after they dry, they could feel slightly like leather? though, but not like crackers

Doc...I was thinking of getting a dehydrator as well but they are kind of expensive for something I might not even really need. I used to have a small desiccant chamber based on the MMGG, but now I have a lot more I need to dry. Just tell me if this seems like a good idea...I will take a rubbermaid around 30Qt. in size and set a bucket of that dri-rite or damp-rid in the bottom then have the shrooms suspended above with some type of screen and all spread out.
