How much for how long?
I’ve got two tables here. They are incomplete, but the information has been gleaned from several sources. Primarily, the information is for rehydrating foods. It tells you about how long it will take for an item to rehydrate.

This is great. Do you happen to have it in a printable format?
ReplyDeleteDont' have enough computer saavy to do that at this point in time. I can send an email attachment with my document... But you might try copying and pasting the info yourself. Don't know about your program, but on my word thingie, I can highlight the information, click on TABLE and click CONVERT TO TABLE. it will take the info and put it in a table format. Oh, when copying from the internet, first paste it into a notepad document, then copy from the notepad to a word document. Works a lot better that way.
DeleteOooh, yes. Printable would be nice. Thanks for posting this -it will be a huge help especially knowing how much water to use.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... the best I could do at this point is send my document as an attachment to your email. Im not that computer saavy yet... The thing I find so frustrating is that I cannot fine one comprehensive list for everything I dehydrate. Just bits and pieces here and there. If you guys happen to find some links, please pass them on to me.
DeleteRoom temperature or boiling water?
ReplyDeleteDepends on how you plan on using them. For most things, room temperature is just fine. However, when I am doing pasta, I plan on using it with the meal, not in preparation for a meal latrer. (Does that make sense)
DeleteI put my dehydrated cooked pasta in hot water. When it's rehydrated, I drain it and pour sauce, butter, or cheese over it.
Room temperature or boiling water? Thanks!
