| Bananas Bananas and more Bananas for the dehydrator. At $0.35/lb the price war is on and so is my hoarding. What a fantastic deal! |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

I'd like tips on dehydrating bananas, Jon. I've considered it but they're one of those high-sugar fruits that can be problematic in that they stick to prep trays. Any advice you could pass along?
EDIT: I just answered my own question:

And here's a ink on dehydrating many different kinds of fruit: You must be logged in to see this link.
Nickelless-
My dehydrator has some flexible non-stick screens that are placed on the trays. To prep the bananas I sliced them in 1/4- 1/8" slices then dipped them in a solution of "Fruit Fresh" which is ascorbic acid( vitamin c) and citric acid for approx 15 mins then onto the trays. Some people have used lemon juice for this process but I did not want any altered flavor.
Dehydrated for 10 hrs @ 350 degrees on the Nesco Garden Master. Have done a few batches and planning to do more around the clock for the next few days. Found some produce at the optimal ripening stage and loaded up. My daughter tried some dried product this morning and loved them so she took some to school for a snack- victory!
Have some pics that I'll post later incl pics of the dehydrated spinach from a while back.
Cheers,
Jon |

Wow, it's been a while since there's been any action on this thread...
I've had a backlog of 11 cases of canned mackerel pile up the past month as I've been on the road a lot and haven't been home enough to catch up on my dehydration:
And also tonight I snagged the last 20 lbs. of frozen carrots at Walmart--I got a manual vegetable dicer a couple weeks ago and I'm going to start dicing and dehydrating carrots as well. Spinach seems to be a little pricier at the moment, so I'm going to switch gears and go for the cheaper-but-vitamin-packed veggies for now. |

Yesterday i bought a cast-iron propane torch with a 14 foot hose.
I also bought a bbq propane tank (almost full!) for $15
now I just need to modify my hiking backpack for my SHTF quasi-flamethrower. |
metal is a claim on future human labour. let's all go get some while the getting is good, eh? |
