How hot is too hot?
    #26819314 - 07/12/20 12:16 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I'm interested in the Presto food dehydrator which claims to dry very quickly in about 2 hours running at 165F and 600 Watts.  Is a dehydrator running at 165F too hot?  Gordo claims that 145-170F is safe, but I wanted to get a second oppinion.  You can here wat he says by going here and seeking to 1:14:26.  I'm able to buy the one that he uses in the video that goes up to 145F, but it takes 5-6 hours to dry.

That gordo tek shit is a laugh at best.

Actives dont degrade until at least 300f. People have deep fried and pressure cooked cubes without loss of actives. If my dehydrator went to 250f I'd be thrilled.

Saying 145-170f is 'safe' is just proclaiming how ignorant he his.

You dry mushrooms for 24hrs on high heat 165 is the bare minimum.

What about other mushrooms like cordyceps, turkey tail, etc?  I'd like to be able to use the same dehydrator for those also.

Cant speak for whatever medicinal dealies are in cords/turk tails but they dont have 'actives' so....


I dunno for sure but the dehydrator you linked should be fine for everything.
