Using a convection oven as a dehydrator without potency loss?
    #24932147 - 01/21/18 06:56 PM (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hello friends!!!

      Quick question, I have a convection oven that has a "warm" setting that only goes up to 160 degrees f. at most..... Currently I have a thermometer inside of it and the oven is on with a temp reading of 120 f.

          My question is,  would these be safe dehydrating temperatures without potency loss??  Could I dry my shroomies in this convection on this "warm" setting with a 120-160 f range?  How hot does an average, actual food dehydrator get??  Will this work?? 

              I could always dry out a handful and then try em out I suppose!!!  In the past I have layed fresh shroomies out in pieces of paper, then set on cookie sheets with a fan on them until cracker dry.... Which takes about three full days.  Would this convection "warming" technique be a better alternative to my fan method?  I know it would be faster... But would I potentially loss potency???

        (Note: I plan on getting an actual food dehydrator very soon... But I have fruits to dry now and I want to insure as little potency lose as possible!)

              Thank you folks!!!!  Much :heart::heart::heart: to my Shroomery fellows!!! :rockon:

                              :cheers:

  (Edit: I am currently testing this, temperatures are holding steady at 120, temperature can be regulated to not go above 120 by cracking the oven door an inch.... Essentially IT IS a dehydrator, right??)

Yeah buddy..... Convection ovens have fans inside of them that move the air so I guess it's perfect, haha!!  Yeah I thought it was pretty nifty, now I don't NEED to buy a dehydrator.... This oven functions as one with a nice, low temperature!!! :thumbup:

          Thank ya Cron! :rockon:

Might as well add this....:grin:





.....glad I figured this out!  :thumbup:  So don't buy a dehydrator if you have a convection oven!  Just use your warm setting!!! :rockon:

:shrug:.....lol.  We'll say possibly..... That and my strategy was to just accumulate a TON of grain spawn and then BULK IT ALL OUT!!! HAHA..... What else is there to do with it my friend??? :lol:

          But after these projects are finished I'm done until Spring!!  Haha, and then it's Morels for me!!!  I'm hoping to take some wild specimens and put some spores to agar... Hopefully clone a few too.  I hope to be able to fruit a few successfully!!!  :mushroom2:

        Almost impossible I've heard.... (Almost)... :grin:
