When you’ve finished dehydrating your fruits and vegetables, Susan shows you how to safely store your food for long-term storage. Bins, buckets, jars, and bags are the industry standards for safe storage. After dehydrating, we need to get air-tight containers. Most often used are various-sized Mason jars for every-day use. For long-term storage, we use vacuum-sealer bags and Mylar bags.

In order to keep your dehydrated foods fresh, you need to use oxygen absorbers. As their name implies, they absorb oxygen. This is important to keep mold at bay. We place the oxygen absorbers inside the bag of food we've just dehydrated, and THEN we extract the air using a FoodSaver vacuum sealing machine.

There are different brands of dehydrators, as you might expect. There are round and square ones, Nesco brand has both. Excalibur has square ones. The advantages of going round is the stack-ability. You can dehydrate as many trays as necessary, up to eight is recommended. Don’t want to have a leaning tower of dehydrated food falling over! The minimum amount of shelves for a Nesco (round) dehydrator is four, to ensure proper air circulation.

The square Excalibur brand models offer 'pull-out drawers.' You can also omit the upper shelves (leave a shelf in close to the bottom—and below that add a shallow tray of water). It then becomes a handy bread proofing machine!

Get your kids involved. They’ll love the sound of the food vacuum sealer. You can buy special bags—or rolls—to place your dehydrated food in. The rolls come in handy when you want to create your own “just the right size” bags.
