Welcome, time to look at dehydrating now, it used to be popular in olden times where I think they probably called it "sun drying" and I believe it was big in the wild wild west for they dried out strips of beef to make "jerky". Now what they stumbled across was a way to preserve food while locking in the nourishing nutrient content, unlike cooking which is too harsh and hot, destroying enzymes, protein and other goodness.
So how does a dehydrator work? Easy really, a dehydrator is basically a cabinet with a fan and heater element in, the warm air is circulated through the unit, heating the drying area evenly and dehydrating whatever you put in it. The result is dried out fruit and vegetables or meat, if you wish similar to the packet stuff you find in health food shops. Until you have made your own though you'll never know how much tastier home grown stuff is!
