Here at Easy Food Dehydrating, “dehydrate” always means using an electric food dehydrator — the easy, reliable way to dry food at home.

Hi, I'm Susan. Since 2010, I’ve helped folks dehydrate food safely and effectively—from prepping beginners to pantry pros.
In this guide, you'll find honest answers based on experience, not just theory. If you're ever stuck or have a question not in the book? I'm just a click away on my contact page.
What exactly is included in the book?
You’ll get answers to over 225 real questions I’ve been asked about dehydrating food, organized into 20 easy-to-read categories like fruits, veggies, meats, storage, Mylar bags, and more.
Is this book right for beginners, or only for advanced dehydrators?
It’s written for both! Beginners will find simple, confidence-building answers, while seasoned dehydrators will appreciate the troubleshooting tips and storage hacks.
Do I need special equipment to benefit from the book?
Nope. A basic dehydrator (or even your oven to start) is enough. The book also covers best practices for storage, tools, and long-term preservation.
Is the content the same in the eBook and paperback?
Yes! Both versions contain the full set of 225 questions and answers. The difference is whether you prefer a digital copy you can search instantly or a physical book you can keep in the kitchen.
Can I preview the book before buying?
Absolutely. I’ve included a free instant preview so you can browse sample pages without needing to sign up or enter your email. See the green boxed area.
All of our books are backed by Amazon’s return policy.
Rest easy knowing your purchase is risk-free!
