What have you successfully made with your NESCO Amer Harvest dehydrator?

[jrose_lee]

I've tried some recipes in the past that haven't worked. I kind of blamed it on my not-so-top-of-the-line dehydrator.

What have you made, with success, using one of these types of dehydrators? I'd love some ideas.

TIA!

I make the "onion bread" recipe on a regular basis... I've made the cheesy garlic toasts (with jicama) and also a few different raw cookie recipes. Everything has came out great. My bread, of course, is made in the shape of a circle, but I just cut it it little "triangle" shapes.

Good Luck!

I've made onion bread, assorted nut cheeses, candied walnuts, lemon chews, some other kind of fruit breakfast cookies, and dried fruit. The only things that didn't work were potato chips and corn chips. I tried the corn chips repeatedly, tweaking the recipe each time and all I got was yuck.

When I make the bread, I flatten it out into serving sized pieces using a flexible scraper and allowing a bit of air space between. I've found it works best to put the pieces closest to the edge. Yes, it takes more trays to do it this way but in the end I think it's less work because you don't have to try to cut it. I haven't had any luck cutting dehydrated things.

Hi!
Thanks so much for that info- ya know, I must be doing something wrong because my onion bread just kinda breaks apart, and I can cut it with a butter knife. I think I'm not dehydrating it long enough- maybe it's because it's just so darn tasty that I can't wait to eat it. I will try that method and hopefully it will come out more like the kind I get at rawvolution. Thanks again =)

Maybe you're spreading it too thin? Mine is not quite as thick as a real piece of bread, but the end result is rather soft and a bit chewy like a whole grain bread.

Sorry! Somehow double posted the above message. Board seemed like it wasn't posting and then it did it twice!
