Hi guys! My family and I have just begun an all summer-long camping trip, and this is my first access to a computer for awhile, so it’s out with the question right off:
Anyone know if a dehydrator will be able to do its work and, well, deyhydrate things, if it is being used outdoors? Like say if it is plugged in and set on a picnic table? This is a weird question because air is naturally composed with moisture in it, exactly what we want to decrease, and is of itself a damp, humid element, but I’m still wondering if the fan in the dehydrator could keep up and focus the air circulation on the food inside? Or will it exhaust itself because of the endless source of outside moisture and burn out? I know I will just need to try it, as it is my only option being that we are squeezed into a campervan as it is, with no floor or counter space to spare. I really hope to have some input into whether this is do-able, though. THANKS bunches!! :-)

Thanks, amysue! I hope I’m not the first to try-I somehow always manage to try for the most offbeat ideas ever!! HA!
Pianissima- I’m looking to make all the dishes that keep me going, from simple daily things like flax crackers all the way to “gourmet” raw pizza/pizza crusts using sprouted buckwheat. I have heard of sun-drying loaves of raw bread, I could try this as well, but I’m a bit daunted by the possibility of insects or fermentation. I guess I will have to be brave and try, though.
