Drying food

[twr198]

How do you go about drying food to take away with you? then what do you do with it to get it edible again if anything?

ive used a couple of methods and found them unsuccsessful so any ideas would be great

Thanks

Very low heat and / or air movement

In the UK a dehydrator or oven on lowest setting with the door cracked (better yet if its a fan oven)

For use, some things are great dried (jerky, apple rings etc.)

To rehydrate generally soak in water then cook in liquid. A nice crumble can be made of apple rings ad blackberry leather for example.

Plenty of threads on here about dehydrating and I have a load more if you need guidance

I have a dryer (actually I have two, one bought and one home-made), but you can dry things in your oven (say 45-60 C, the door slightly open).

Some things reconstitute surprisingly ok, but most things are not the same again. What have you tried?
