Yeah but I no longer have the dehydrator. I got rid of it years ago because
my then husband complained of the smell of stuff dehydrating. Especially my
onion bread.

Oh! What a shame Have you ever thought about getting another now you

No. Takes up too much room and I would rarely use it. I used it when I was
on the raw vegan diet but that diet didn't work for me.

That's how I made it, yes. I posted the recipe here before. There are plenty
of recipes out there. This looks similar to what I made hut I used sea salt
instead of nama shoyu.

Interesting. It's like an onion jerky. It sounds tasty. It's a high calorie jerky so that's kind of neat.

I was at a club meeting last night and a member passed out some jerky for us to try. The jerky that's trending on this rock is a style that's crispy like a potato chip i.e., thin stuff that's been overdryed. There were packs that were unlabeled since they were test runs. I got some oxtail soup beef jerky and some unknown jerky. It tastes like it could be turnup.

Wow that would make a lot! My excalibur is huge .. unless they have
started to make smaller ones. Although I suppose they have, mine is pretty
old

I have no room for the Excalibur. I had a round one but bought too many
racks too fit under my counter. I could only use 8. I had to move it to the
garage to be able to use all of the racks. It was a PITA because I was
constantly having to swap out the racks.

I have a simple one. Ronco I think? We seldom use all the trays but
since they are removable and stack how ever many you want for that run,
the height of the machine varys.

Very interesting! I'd not have called that a 'bread' but I can see it
might make a nice waifer sort of item.

I kept mine soft. Texture was just like bread.

I wondered about that, too. Also, just because a box of mushrooms is
cheap doesn't mean you have to buy a box of mushrooms. Especially not
if you don't really like mushrooms. Here's a hint: you can dehydrate
just about anything in an oven set to a very low temp. You can also buy
dried ground mushroom powder. Google is your friend when it comes to
silly stuff like this:

The article references foraged mushrooms but the method still applies to
those button mushrooms she bought.

I put all but two of the rest in the hamburger gravy. Dried mushrooms are
expensive. Exception being the ones at Costco but you have to buy a large
container and they were recalled too often for my liking.

I have tried tuna casserole and rice pilaf without the mushrooms and the the
flavor wasn't right for me. I need just a few in there.

I always look for bargains when I shop. He who lives here is now avoiding
cruciferous veggies for thyroid reasons and I can't eat them so there is no
sense in my buying those now. It's not a bargain if nobody will eat them.

Truly. They were on sale so I bought them but nobody really likes them.
That's $1.19 well spent. Sheesh.

That's not what I said! We like the flavor of them but not the texture.
That's why I use less than called for.

You just restated my point. It's not a bargain if you buy a box of
mushrooms and nobody really likes them. I see things all the time that
are on sale. If I don't like it, I'm not going to buy it simply because
it's cheap.

I posted a link in response to your question. You don't need a special
gadget to dehydrate mushrooms. You have an oven, use it.

I don't *want* to dehydrate them. I asked about freezing but the point is
moot now as they all got used.

For cooking I primarilly use dehy 'shrooms... they rehydrate easily
and rapidly and are much more flavorful than fresh. When fresh look
fresh I'll use them raw in salads. All the different dehy 'shrooms
are always available and require no special storage, just keep dry.
