Top 20 Topics! How to Dehydrate Food

Why I Wrote This Book

I created this book because my Easy Food Dehydrating readers kept asking fantastic questions—sometimes dozens a week! I answered them as they came in, posting helpful tips and how-tos nearly every day.

But over time, it got harder for folks to find what they needed. Scrolling through random posts, clicking back and forth to chase down answers? Not ideal.

So I pulled everything together into one easy-to-read guide. That way, you can quickly find the info you're looking for—without digging around my site for hours.

Wondering if you can dehydrate eggs? Not sure what blanching is? Curious about oxygen absorbers and how they actually work? It’s all in here.

Below, you’ll find the full list of topics covered in this categorized, reader-driven Q&A book. And yes—it’s also available in paperback!

It’s time to do all this NOW because you need to have enough food on hand—as there’s no such thing as being overly prepared! Don’t let a national disaster leave you and your family hungry.

With enough food on hand to feed your family, you are better prepared to help your neighbors too.

The Average Family has Enough Food for Only 3 Days...

Did you know that the average family keeps only 3 days' worth of food on hand in their pantry? That's only NINE meals. We're all accustomed to nipping out to the grocery store at the drop of a hat, but what happens when the power goes out?

During hurricane season here in Florida where I live, you can pretty much guarantee that when a hurricane hits (or "just" a tropical storm), our power will be out for well over a week. That's not to say that Florida Power & Light does a poor job - quite the contrary.

Why You Should Start Dehydrating Now

To stay ahead of the curve, start dehydrating fresh fruit, veggies, and meats when they’re in season or on sale. Watch for buy one, get one deals at the grocery store, check out roadside stands, and swing by farmers’ markets for fresh finds you can preserve now and enjoy later.

It's never too late to start preparing. Make plans now before the hurricane season revs up. Don't let these storms take you by surprise; stock up your food pantry and as my tagline on my sister site says, "Dry food the easy way, and keep your food pantry full, whatever the reason or season."
