Drying Foods


Almost any food can be dried, from meat to potatoes. Food dryers come with the directions how to use them with the various types of food you wish to dry. The mistake most people make is not following the directions, and improper storage of the finished products.
As with canned foods, dried foods should be kept out of the light, in a dry cool place. Unlike canned foods, you must make sure your stash does not turn into the local, "all you can eat", mouse buffet. Dried foods should be kept in large, dated, zip lock bags. Once properly labeled and dated, the bags should be stored in plastic or metal containers with lids that fit securely. There are many sizes available at your local K-Mart, Wal-Mart etc.
