We bought a countertop dehydrator to handle the excess tomatoes I grew one year since I didn't want to try pressure canning sauces. I think our favorite uses are for apples, strawberries and bananas. We've had some good experiences with cucumber that resulted in tangy chips that were great to dip, but I think that was dependent on my garden producing weird, oversized cucumbers.
- dylan604 3y agoI grow a lot of catnip. A few weeks ago, I dried enough to fill up an empty 40oz peanut butter jar. My cats won't touch the store bought stuff anymore. The stuff I dried is so fragrant that the cats magically show up like the "runs can opener" meme. Makes me want to become a catnip dealer at my local farmer's market. I've tried bananas, but honestly, the whole slicing part and keeping them whole slices is just too much effort for me. Do you have a tip on how to keep it from being so frustrating?
- goda90 3y agoWe do the bananas when they are just starting to go brown, so they still have some integrity. Some stores sell them at a discount when they reach that state so it can be a good chance to make more. I imagine fully brown would be messy. When we get some to that point they usually go into the freezer to be kept for banana bread instead.
