I've saved this site in my Favorites. I've been perusing the site on and off for hours. I love the way they have a "breakfast, lunch, dinner" suggestion daily. And since they're 30 minutes or less to fix I think it's Brilliant!


Thanks again! :D

One question: what's the alternative to dehydrating...set the oven to as low as possible? And for how long? I swear I came across this info somewhere, but I can't remember!

Enjoy!!

FOUND IT!!

From here: http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC3080.htm (http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC3080.htm)
OVEN DRYING

Everyone who has an oven has a food dehydrator. By combining the factors of heat, low humidity and air current, an oven can be used as a dehydrator. An oven is ideal for occasional drying of meat jerkies, fruit leathers, banana chips or for preserving excess produce like celery or mushrooms. Because the oven may also be needed for everyday cooking, it may not be satisfactory for preserving abundant garden produce. Oven drying is slower than dehydrators because it does not have a built-in fan for the air movement. (However, some convection ovens do have a fan.) It takes twice as long to dry food in an oven than in a dehydrator, and it uses more energy.

To Use Your Oven: First, check your dial and see if it has a reading as low as 140 °F. If your oven does not go this low, then your food will cook instead of dry. For air circulation, leave the oven door propped open 2 to 6 inches. Circulation can be improved by placing a fan outside the oven near the door. CAUTION: This is not a safe practice for a home with small children. Because the door is left open, the temperature will vary. An oven thermometer placed near the food gives an accurate reading. Adjust the temperature dial to achieve the needed 140 °F.
Trays should be narrow enough to clear the sides of the oven and should be 3 to 4 inches shorter than the oven from front to back. Cake cooling racks placed on top of cookie sheets work well for some foods. The oven racks, holding the trays, should be 2 to 3 inches apart for air circulation.

There you have it!
