I believe you can dehydrate with a regular oven it just takes a bit longer. Google search dehydrate in oven. No extra cost :-P

This appeals to me for the lower sodium content I love Jerky but the sodium is sooo high in some...

I too looked at those machines. I think at least you'll need a Jerky gun or cookie press w/slotted nozzel.

Take pics if you make!

It looked veryyyyy complicated ! I did find one for the microwave and that seemed better! I may have to see -- what phase would veggies dried be in???

I use and love my dehydrator! Its really old but still works. I have done strawberries, banana, pineapples, apples, mangos, baby peppers and marinated mushrooms..... and that was just this week. They are great to throw into my snack bag for work.

I make my own in the oven. It is fun to do. I get sesina from the Mexican market, marinate in teriyaki and pepper and a little bit of salt overnight. I posted a fancier recipe too.

It comes out so good!

The picture is how you hang it in the oven, by sticking a toothpick through the top of the meat and hanging on the oven rack.

Two suggestions: get an Excalibur. Best dehydrator around and you can buy used on craigslist / eBay. Second, be sure to stay hydrated when eating dehydrated foods. The lack of Water content means you will need to drink extra water.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
