I recently ordered a dehydrator (Nesco FD-809A) to help with my cacti preparation. I've read that people evap their extracted vinegar in dehydrators with great success. I'm curious to hear from anyone that does this; how do you do it? do you put a pyrex dish in the dehydrator, do you use the "fruit roll up sheets" that you can get for them, what exactly?

love to hear from anyone that's had success with this.

peace

ps

take one of your dehdrator racks and cut out the lattice, this will be your second to the bottom ring. your pie dish sits on the first tier whislt the modified second tier alows a comfortable fit under the third tier without causing a break in the connections on the outside.


this is by far my fav method of dehydrating sensitve materials, cactus flesh aswell. my dehydrator is 30 bux (nesco aswell) and evaps about 100 ml per hour

Thx ipu - got a pic or two that shows it?

ps

sadly ipu has no camera

ipuma has been using the same 35$ nesco food dehydrator for well over a year and his medicine has been most potent, as awesome as those dehydrators are they seem to be overly qualified for such a simple task

Agreed.

I absolutely love my Nesco. Excellent build quality and it hasn't let me down in my three years of owning it. Those $400 ones linked above seem overkill for the average person and I don't see the benefit.

I have an excalibur..the large one. I love it. For real it makes this whole evaporation thing soooooooo much better.
