I know that this is my best tip for 2009 and beyond
Dehydrating foodis a wonderful way to store food. Dehdrated fruit and veg take up about 10% of their re hydrated selves. Stored in airtight containers they keep for at least a year. Buy a cheap dehydrator, cash in on all the two for one and cut price offers and save money. Most dehydrated food re hydrates well and you wouldn't noticethe difference between fresh and re hydrated.
P.S. Dehydrated strawberries and beetroot and pears and apples taste divine = just like sweets in their dehydrated state. Super food snacks to graze happily.

I am very tempted; especially as the model you have is reduced by 20% at the mo!

Shelley, can you tell me where you found it at 20% off? Pretty please?? I've been searching online for ages and can't find it for less than 50-60 euros 🙁

Hi Shelley and Veronica
I've emailed the export office of Westfalia to see if they will ship to France - watch this space.

Thank you Fiona! The other thing I was going to ask is, do you think you could dehydrate cooked food in it to make your own dehydrated meals? I know you can with some (expensive) models, but this one looks as if food would just drip through the holes 🙂
Shelley, I have found Fiona's model on eBay France at apparently low prices, and followed some of the auctions, but the shipping is quite expensive (10-25 euros) and they don't seem to go for less than 40-50 euros, which makes it less attractive.

hmm
yes that is rather expensive; not for me at that price
where are you in france?

Do it all the old way as if you had no money what would you do ?.

Yes you can. You line the shelves with greaseproof paper or silicone baking paper. I haven't tried doing it yet though.

ooh, thanks Fiona -- that's good to know. My husband goes mountain walking and would like to take palatable food with him, rather than those horrible pot-noodle-flavoured packets. Now I'm even more motivated to find one cheaply (Christmas is looming!)

Hi Mutley I got my money back in a couple of weeks by buying end of the day veg and fruit and dehydrating it for later in the year. Sometimes you have to initially spend to save £££ long term.

We had a problem with ours while trying to dry of all thing bean seeds. Mind you our dehumidifier is also pulling two litres of water a day out of our flat and it is on Auto so I don't think our damp air is helping.
