I've been considering to buy one for some time and recently found a model capable of "air frying", de-hydrate food and a third function I can't remember right now.

For a relatively small footprint, having three machines in one sounds nice.

Dehydrating food is really slow in my experience, but the outcome is definitely worth it.

I have a dedicated dehydrator with slide in racks. It's faster, uses less energy, and does a better job than the other options.

Downside is it's another appliance to store and the upfront cost. It does make sense if you do a lot of dehydrating.

It is and it is.

I already have one but the machine loses a good deal of heat and the circular trays it uses are horribly expensive, hence my consideration for buying an "air fryer", that is enclosed.

Have you ever tried dehydrating mushrooms? The flavour kick it gives when adding to soups, stocks or meats... The fruits and vegetables. The flavour gets so concentrated and sharp.

I need to get my dehydrator working again. Fast.

Not a big mushroom fan, but I do like dehydrated fruit and jerky. I've never tried dehydrating things to add to soup, though. I'll have to try that if I ever have space for a dehydrator. Thanks.

Never tried it but I known someone that prepares ready to make soup packets, with all the basic ingredients dehydrated.

Just needs to be thrown into boiling water and add seasonings.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

True, I've done that myself. I just never thought of doing it with my own vegetables.

Not too late, but I don't have one or the room for one in the house I live in now. We have a small kitchen, unfortunately. Maybe one day.

and a third function I can’t remember right now.

That's the mutate function. Nice if you like your chicken to have gills or your beef jerky to grow feathers.

Have an upvote for the laugh.
