It's a sad day.....

I have just dehydrated my last in the little machine I bought several years ago. It finally died after a long and fulfilling life. I've used it a lot over the years and will have to replace it.
I have several options, all well over $180. *sigh* looks like I'm saving again.

I don't know if middle England is humid but I've dehydrated on a window screen in the barn attic during the summer. Not a winter time venture unless it's by the woodstove.

In the height of summer I have dried herbs, but I don't think it would work for anything else, not without making a heat box anyway. At least I have an excuse to upgrade.

Winnie, Check out Alton Brown's Window fan dehydrator video below. The dehydrator starts at the 1min mark. All you need is a window fan, some cellulose furnace filters and bungee cords.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title!!!
Just glad that's all it is...if it can be bought, it'll be OK.

Thanks Gryff, I'll have a lookee.

@Bee:)

Good luck with the new hunt, Winnie. If you build your own, be sure to take pics.

Now.....as for Alton Brown. I'd say that he is close to being a hero. Hahaha. His "dehydrator".....his "ceramic cooker" (flower pot smoker) and his "steak broiler" (charcoal chimney) are great examples of just plain thinking. I love it. He's like a mix of a mad food scientist, and a redneck. Hahaha.

Good luck on your search Winnie. I'm guessing that yard sales and flea markets aren't as plentiful on your side of the ocean?

Nope, and a dehydrator is something almost unknown to the general population.

Buy one at Walmart when you come to the next Jamboree.:whistling:

+1 on the AB window fan/air filter. I even did ground beef in that last summer.

Goog

Just a thought Winnie, but Walmart has dehydrators available at good prices.

Here in the states we have shipping to the store off the internet free!

If you have that option you could order off the internet from Wallyworld and get free shipping to the store.

My last $35 Walmart dehydrator lasted 10 years and I am well into the second one now.

I did look at buying one from US, but there is the voltage difference to consider. The only way round that would be a step up converter(a big one) or I move to US. I know which one I would prefer.

Oh pook! UTube says no!The uploader has not made this video available in your country! Agggggggh!

How about this one. He is new at it, and very long winded, but you can see how to do it. (Skip the first 6 minutes, or so.

If you search DIY dehydrator, or solar dehydrator, there are lots of videos.
