Re: dehydrating onion/garlic

[Guest guest]

Hi Pearl,

I grind all my spices and herbs in in a coffee grinder. You can

also use a blender, food processor or a mortar and pestle.

I know that I have asked instructions before on how to make onion

powder and garlic powder. I bought the machine from Lucy. I tried it,

but it ws all so moist , that you could not grind it, and I threw it

all in the garbabe.

Where did I go wrong?(I know I went wrong someplace)

How thin does it have to be cut?

How many hours does it have to stay in?

What temperature does it have to be set on?

Sny help would be appreciated,

Just my guesses:

slice ultra-thin. Oliver's (British TV-chef) suggestion: use a

potato/apple peeler to slice them FAST and very thin. I never do it

otherwise anymore.

I'd guess that they need to be in for the night/8 hours.

Temperature: high.

Just a question: what about using garlic & onions raw and then baked?

fast? Garlic is little and how would you do onions like that?

I don't know if we're talking about the same nice instrument. You

hold the peeler between your index finger & thumb, it is U-shaped. It

does NOT work for onions.

Get the skin off the garlic, hold the garlic piece (?) in one hand,

scrape / slice with the other hand. Watch out for your fingers when

alsmost done.
