"Hey", everyone.  Based on responses a couple weeks ago, I've been
playing with my dehydrator.  I've only done apples, carrots and some
Jerky, but it's a start.



Info I have says to keep the dehydrated food in a dry, cool place.  Many
sources suggest storing it in the refrigerator.  No source of info even
remotely mentioned the freezer for even longer storage.  So..... is it
good, bad or indifferent to store dehydrated food in the freezer?  I
have very limited frig space available, but I have a huge freezer in the
garage that is only half full.



Also, I've read that some items take as much as 60 hours to dehydrate.
I think that was apricots, if I recall correctly.  Anyway, I know
virtually nothing about electricity, and the differences between, Watts,
Volts, Amps and so forth.  So, the question is, 60 hours is a long
time..... how much does it actually cost to operate a dehydrator?
Surely, it's pennies, or it wouldn't be cost effective, right?



Thanks



Rick
