I've never tried drying meat before, but is that hamburger you're drying cooked or uncooked?? inquiring minds want to know. I imagine the meats are things you dry at the higher temperatures?
SJ, you want the meat to be fully cooked. I dry it at 135* and higher. Hamburger dries very fast, if you spread it thin, and while cooking, get it into very small pieces. http://www.freezerbagcooking.com/gearstuff.htm About half way down is a pictorial on hamburger drying smile.gif

I got a bunch of fruit I'm dehydrating. Generally speaking, do you dry fruits and vegetables separately? I'm thinking yes, cos you don't want the zucchini to taste like peaches, right? May seem like a dumb question, but I'm a newbie drier.

ree, only if the items are strong scented/flavored. But I will say that fruit is best by itself.

Thanks Sarbar! Heheh. I just noticed the newly packaged "food forum." (Split off of gear talk.) Nice!

Dehydrating question again, Pesto? Deyhydrate pinenuts, basil, garlic together? Bring parmesan and oil separately? Thoughts? Can't I just mix it all w/oil, put in baggie, and bring? Does it spoil that readily? Parmesan doesn't spoil all that quickly, does it?

Pinenuts are high in fat, best option is to dry the basil/garlic then add to the nuts, oil and cheese. Parmesan carries very well - consider that it has been aged for at least 10 months before selling. A block w/ tiny grater carries well. So does Kraft! ree, here is a recipe for a pesto mix smile.gif http://www.trailcooking.com/recipes/dehydrated-pesto
