P. 66, Aug/Sept issue on newstands now, often in Home Depots or Lowes as far as major chains go.

Article title: Build a Solar Food Dehydrator : Preserve your harvest with free energy from the sun.


There is a side bar about cooking with dried food, but it's the basics about rehydrating veggies and fruits in such things as hot cereal, muesli or granola to add sweetness and nutrients.

Also interesting, he also mentions that when searching on the internet one usually finds plans for solar dryers made from cardboard and duct tape. I had not heard of them before, will have to look around!

How about plans for a food dehydrator made from duct tape and an old backback? just kidding ;-)
