I read this thread and this is an awesome way to store just about any food. I have a Foodsaver Vacuum packing system for keeping things best in the freezer but after reading all I can on the Dehydrating it is the best way to keep things you are going eat day to day as well. I love taking dried fruit and veggies as snacks since I spend most of my day on the road and it's really hard to find anything healthy out on the road. I mean really it's embarrassing to see all the really high fat nasty snacks out there. So I just purchased this and it will be here Wednesday. Anyone have any experience with it? Or the brand?
