TIMESTAMPS
A few more tips: Don't test your foods until they are fully cooled samples. And it is rare to over dry anything for storage th-cam.com/video/mz8n8EuwZdg/w-d-xo.html
So far I’ve never relied on a timer. When it’s dry, it’s dry, just like you said. I have a small Cosori stackable and it runs almost every day.
The time factor stumped me when I tried drying lemons. They took forever and I kept referring back to your video just to be sure I hadn't done anything wrong. Finally they dried and I learned that patience is key.
Yep!
That’s so true! Directions say it will dry in about 8 hours but in reality it takes 24 hours.. sometimes more!
I have both a cabinet and a stackable dehydrator. The cabinet style is definitely more effective.
"impatience is the bane of the dehydrating world"
Truth be truth
Thanks for explaining this, I've been getting frustrated because things are taking way longer!
You got this!
When I do herbs, I will shift the trays around in my stacks. When the top two are about 60% dry, I move the bottom ones up the queue. It does help even out the time.
Thank you! The info you talk about is so helpful....factual & to the point.
It’s so true. Here in Alberta, we tend to be very dry. I can finish things (especially in the winter) on the kitchen counter if it’s not quite done from my machine.
Omgosh I couldn't figure out why mine took so long! And it was because I had it on the garage counter top
High humidity, point a fan above the unit. OR use your "warm" settings on your oven.
Great info. I finally figured out what caused my initial failure (other than zero experience & confidence . Lol). I over packed the trays!! Now I’m good. Thanks for pointing this out. Appreciate all you teach. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Renee Russell here. The info on preserving the nutrition of the foods we are dehydrating was a subject I had not thought about. I will certainly be more mindful of that aspect of dehydrating. Great info! Thanks!
I had that problem in Florida even with good ac. Just kept adding drying time until it was done. Thanks for the info.
Glad it helped
I have always just dried until they were dry - except basil. It never seems to dry at herb temp. Finally, after years of wondering, I just assume it is the oil inside and moved the temp up to 110, now they dry just fine. I love my dehydrator (Garden Master) and love your channel. Just popped in a load of green and of purple basil, some sage, and some oregano. Began this morning at 10 and just checked and will be plenty dry by 5. Just in time to do some black, hot Hungarian peppers for chili powder at a higher temp and on all night. My most favorite thing was dried garlic and dried onion powders. They taste amazing!
I learned on your channel and everything has worked out great 😀
Great to hear!
Thanks so much Marcie! I gave up on "drying times" a while ago simply because I'm in coastal Alabama and whether the AC is going or not, you have humidity! LOL Always enjoy your informative videos and look forward to each of them!
What great information!! I am just starting to dehydrate and now I know that when it is dry it is dry. You are fabulous.
Thank you for showing how you make zucchini chips , I made them a day after watching you make them and they were delicious .
So glad!
Love it, things will dry when they dry. My first experience was disappointing nothing dried out using my oven, the next day I put them back in and they dried perfectly...they will dry when they dry.
So, I have an abundance of zucchini. Daw your video on dehydrating zucchini. Oh my goodness! They are soo good!! I will be able to use them as chips! Chips are not allowed on my . food plan..I seasoned each tray with different seasonings. Delicious!! ❤❤
I definitely will be upgrading my dehydrator.
I loved hearing about the "Woo Woo" factor! I still don't have a dehydrator, but am thinking about trying to use my convection oven, or cheesecloth covered screens outside (I live in the desert Southwest U.S.). I can just imagine all these factors causing me torment!
The timer is in my dehydrater when it's supposed to be done I give it the snap test like you taught . I'm in Florida and my air conditioner works so well that I dry all of my laundry on a rack in my bedroom that even includes quilts which only take 1/2 day to dry .
This was one of the most informative videos on dehydrating . Great tips for me because I just bought a dehydrator . And soon will get going with it. I subscribed and have been watching as many of your You Tube videos so I can to prepare myself. Thank You
New to dehydrating and really found this video insightful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video! First time dehydrator here. This made me so much more comfortable that I'm not doing this wrong. 💜
You got this!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I've learned so much. Big hugs from Texas!
I'm so glad you done this video. My lil stackable with NO switch or Timer " just plug & go " sometimes takes 4 - 5 hr. Or like the time I done jerky usually done 24 hr wasn't done in 30. I thought my machine wasn't working. But I got it out almost 9 yr later ' I tend to never throw anything away ' to dry tomato skins and it worked fine. Second batch I done I put on a lil closer. I dried the same amount of time before checking and I actually had a few pieces over dry. They looked like they were beginning to burn. And it was Definitely less humid on 2nd batch.
Thanks again for video I enjoyed it and learned something.
It's just sugars browning from a higher heat - not over dryng.
@@ThePurposefulPantry lol, I just asked about those black spots in middle underneath a few tomatoe slices. If you see my post it gives particulars about different mats, but I think they puddled too much on other smaller holed mat and sugars turned dark brown to black.
Great tips! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Ótimas dicas, obrigada
Tried dill for first time, took forever! And created a huge stink. Do it in garage so my car smelled like dill for two days LOL. Plus in summer it takes extra long for everything. Thinking maybe best to cut, blanch, freeze in summer then dehydrate that stash in fall when less humid....
And it takes no time at all for me. It's all so dependent.
Wisconsin summers can be humid
You are talking what we were thinking. Yes, WI is humid-by day and night. We just got a Magic Mill and love it! We were also saying this could be great in the winter months to add humidity and heat to the house. It can make the a/c run more. I have onions and peppers and thinking to freeze or if they can hold out for a bit to dry them like next week outside as it will be 70s and dew points will drop. Except bring it in at night as the dew rises.
Excellent overview
Thank you, ma'am! If you have other tips, we'd love to hear them!
I recently learned strawberry leaves were edible and medicinal. So when I sliced my tops of the strawberries for jam making I had two full trays if tops wit bits of leaves. They smelled so good. They are conditioning and I will be adding them as a powder to my protein drinks.
Yep - I just rough chop it all and dry!
Thank you Sweetie 👍⭐💚
Great explanation.
Glad you think so!
Basil taking forever, but I'm in the Ohio Valley, super humid.
Me too, 2 days plus!
I’m in Iowa and honestly I typically dry my herbs in a brown paper lunch bag on the dining table. Room temp is way lower than 95 degrees and I’m going to powder the greens like spinach and kale. The other herbs may be powdered or just crushed for spices. Of course, we have the luxury of air conditioning. I also purchased an outdoor dryer that is mesh, has 6 chambers that zip up to keep bugs out. If there’s a breeze and it’s sunny, I’ll toss fresh herbs from the garden in that to get them started. Definitely bring them in at dusk, you don’t want them rehydrating overnight. Purely weather dependent but another “off grid” option which is kinda fun. Hope that helps.
Congratulations on the 100K! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀
You are absolutely fabulous. Thank you for everything.
Wow, thank you!
I heard you say it (time is just a guideline, it's dry when it's dry, etc.) in, I think, all of your videos I watched, and read all the comments in the FB group saying that same thing...and yet I still couldn't figure out why my beets wouldn't get to the crisp stage. 🤣 Yeah, duh Kym (me)...they're just not dry yet, so put 'em back in and run it until they are dry. LOL
I guess since it was only the third thing I dehydrated and I sort of winged it, I figured I had messed something up so badly that they were never going to dry. Nope...I just didn't give it enough time (which ended up being close to 32 hours).
I really appreciate all your information, tips, patience, and time, Darcy! (and the group members too) 😉
You'll get it! It just takes lots of practice - and in the meantime, you'll be stocking that pantry!
Thank you for the information. Much appreciated
Any time!
My first batch of onion took off and on for three days! Time line - first four hours in the house. Second 12 hours on the back porch (the cat kept sneezing). Third 10 hours on the back porch. Fourth 4 hours back in the kitchen. It’s not the heat that will kill ya - it’s the humidity! 🤣
Question please: HOW do you prepare your Mason jars for storing dehydrated food? Can’t find info. I sterilize new jars, of course ; but how about repeated usage? Thanks
Hot soapy water.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you!
Look at that!! 100k subscribers!!
This video was SO helpful. I think I assumed that when people said it took 2 days or 4 days that they were leaving their dehydrator on the entire time, even when leaving the house. Now I know that's not the case(if I understood you correctly). Do you every just take your stacked trays and just put them all in the fridge or do you remove all the contents and put in a container in the fridge?
I don't take my food out because I run it all the time but you can do either - whichever way works for you. Some foods do take 2-3 days 24/7 like blueberries or bananas
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Susan!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Did some apples last week. Put them on for 10 hours, switched it off late evening, went to bed, started again next morning. Left them for another 6 hours. They seemed to have plateaued yet still softish and bendy. Regardless I took them out. Put in an airtight container and placed in the fridge. Next day they where hard and crispy, tasted awesome and ready for my breakfast cereal. This is only my second time drying fruit. The first time the fruit still felt soft and bendy, but the next day after being in the fridge they all went hard and crispy. So I’m not now expecting what ever I dry will actually be rock hard coming out of the dehydrator and they crisp up as they cool and stand for a while in a container.
You always have to give things time to cool before testing. You've pushed that cooling off time harder by putting them in extra cool storage. Your real issue will be once they've come to room temperature and those sugars relax - is it really dry ;)
@@ThePurposefulPantry I’ve never tried taking them out of the fridge to warm up and test for crispiness yet. I just use straight from the fridge. They breakup nicely. I’ll keep trying and watching you’re videos to learn from. I personally appreciate the time you take to make these videos and impart knowledge to others. Thank you.
I saw you on a citrus video you did. I wanted to give you a hint …when you get to the edge of the lemons, etc. turn it around and then it’s easier to cut the end off instead of trying to cut towards the end.
I love how you push not to go by the book, because the book is only an estimate of time needed.
I canned some tomatoes and then dehydrated the skins. I'm thinking of making a powder with them. What would I use the powder for? And yes somethings take a long time, I start off with about 6-8 hours and go from there. But so far it's been fun.
Lots of ideas: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/ways-to-use-tomato-powder/
Great information. Thank you
Is it OK to store dehydrated in mylar with oxygen absorbers?I live in so central FL with air conditioning (of course!)
yes
I dehydrated my zucchini chips outside, in my stackable dehydrator, on a hot day and it took so long, I gave up, forget it...I'll eat limp chips! Thanks for this....
Yep - just keep drying - if it was humid on that hot day - that's why! They'll always get there.
I’m new to dehydrating foods, I’ve a question, what and how should I store the dehydrated food if I’m wanting to store them for later use? I guess I want to know the easiest and safest way.
All the info here: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/how-to-store-dehydrated-foods/
I’m new at this too. If I’m going to be eating within a week - put in a zip lock bag and put in the fridge. Long term - I use food sealer bags - vacuum seal it and put it in the freezer.
Great tips 👍🏻
I have a new Cosori, and been drying all sorts of things. My only trouble is lemons. I slice the peels off and dry them separately and make powder. But the slices won’t dry ! I slice them about 1/8” thick, or a bit thicker, but nowhere near 1/4”. I started drying them at 97, 24 hrs later, nowhere near dry, so I went up to 112, another 24 hrs and they were still sticky and if I pinched them, my fingers were wet. Went up to 120, and after hours, they were turning brown, but still sticky. I have a dry house with ac. I am ready to just throw them away. Not sure I am going to try again. I don’t know what is wrong. Everything else dries perfectly.
I start at 120F. But yes, they can take a couple of days.
Had loads of failures. But practice makes perfect. Iv got loads that go well others I work on well il get there in the end lol
@@ThePurposefulPantry oh, thank you, so I won’t quit !
I've always said that recipes are suggestions - not laws.
Adjust them as necessary to your taste and conditions.
I haven't heard you mention vacuum sealing foods that aren't thoroughly dry (like for snacking). Could I vacuum seal these fruits and store at room temp for many months?
Nope - vacuum sealing moisture into a room temperature jar = mold colony or worse. Put them in the fridge.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Sorry, I didn't mean jars, I meant the vacuum sealed plastic bags - all the air is sucked out of them and it's hard as a rock. What about vacuum sealing totally dehydrated food? Do I have to use jars? Watching your video on that now.
Thanks for that great explanation. Darcy, if I have dehydrated some veggies at too hot a temp, are they ruined?
No - you just may have lost more nutrients than the recommended temp.
Strawberries turned out bad didn't taste good at all. I have a stackable older model.
@@cherylinchrist4826 sorry to hear that. I find that if there not good going in, they’re not good coming out. I can rescue strawberries by powdering them and using them in smoothies or yogurt. I may add a little sugar or honey if adding to yogurt. Hope that helps.
Hi! Newbie here, so sorry if this has been addressed. I have a Nesco that doesn't have a temperature setting. Are there things I can dehydrate that Temps don't matter? Or, is there a way to find out the temp in my Nesco?
The website should tell you what temp it dries at. My understanding is that the temp is important for retaining nutrients not that it’s necessarily bad. I have both types and frankly, sometimes I prefer the one without temp. Yes, it dries at a higher temp but I’m not as particular about a slight loss of nutrient value. I dehydrate mostly to avoid food waste. It’s great if I want to preserve nutrient value but if I’m dehydrating fruit as a snack and am not concerned about nutrient value, just trying to avoid the vending machine, I’m ok with that. I hope that helps. Heck, I dry garden herbs in brown paper lunch sacks on the kitchen counter, works great. 🤷🏼♀️
You can dehydrate anything on it - as I mentioned, herbs can be a problem on one temperature machines because it can run too hot. You'll have to look in the manual of your machine to see if it gives you the general temp (look it up online if you don't have it) which can be anywhere from 140-160F.
Hi darci. Congrats on your 100k subs.
Thank you so much 😀
We are currently in monsoon season in NM so it's really humid for us. I was dehydrating banana coins. It took forever. They are finally not sticky in the middle. It took 28-30 hrs. altogether.
That's even short for what I know some folks have to do!
@@ThePurposefulPantry it's not sticking in the jar so far so I'm hoping it's done. Thank you for the magnet.
My only real failure was cabbage. It was snappable but softened when it was being conditioned?
Then throw it in and dry it more.
Great video 👏🏽
Doesn't the timer just means check the food?And reassess?
Sure - if you've had experience to learn that - but many new folks don't know - and it can be frustrating.
@@ThePurposefulPantry I live at a high altitude and it effects cooking times. Everything takes longer than the recipe or the box says. So the suggested cook times are really now you need to check your food times.
If fruits are extremely sweet do they stay rather pliable? I dried sweet cherries for about 24 hours (total).
They are about 3 weeks old, no moisture or mold seen…your thoughts?
They were pitted then cut in 1/2. First time with cherries!
Yes, sugars create their own issues.
My dad used to say chace the clock you get closer to failer time is errelavent
I learned early,,snap like a chip. My beef liver treats for my dogs take forever.
Hi, I’m new to your channel and a beginner dehydrator🙂 I dehydrated carrots and they were conditioning fine but now that it’s been over the time period I see a free places where the edge of a few carrots have grey places. I don’t know if that’s mold or not? Help please, thanks Vicki
I can't possibly know without seeing, Vicki. If you didn't blanch your carrots, sometimes they begin to lose color. If you want to send a photo, you can mail me at thepuropsefulpantry @ gmail.com
Can you do a whole video on different veggie chips or link a video to me if you already made one? (: I just got my dehydrator today to hopefully make chips
www.thepurposefulpantry.com/diy-zucchini-chips/
This came at the right time...i gave up.
What made you give up?
@@ThePurposefulPantry nothing was reaching the point of being completely dry, even after days and days which doesnt sound right to me.. chili peppers never dried out they were still flexible, carrots. I don't live in a humid climate. So i dont know what to do.
@@theonewhomjesusloves7360 did you let them cool before testing how dry they were? Some items will be flexible when they are dry and still warm. I just did tomato slices and they are dry, but still not rock hard after cooling.
Hi Darcy
Can you over dry something? If you leave in longer overnight, will most veggies ok. Or should you turn the temp down and let it run for 3 more hours?
Thanks! Ie. Zucchini shreds
Generally - no. th-cam.com/video/mz8n8EuwZdg/w-d-xo.html
Do you dehydrate tomato skins. If so, is there an easy way? I am trying to layer them single thickness and that is taking forever😦
They will shrink a lot - just put them on, and stir them around occasionally.
Question about green powder made from combo of various greens. I want to start adding to things like spaghetti sauce, casseroles,soups, etc. How much would you add to spaghetti sauce with one pound of ground beef (typically what I serve to my family of 4). I do not want them to know I added it. Thanks for all the great info you give us!
You can't think of it like that :) 1 TB powder = 1 C fresh, but you need to add to your preference. Start small, work your way up. I add quite a bit, but my family is used to seeing it. It can change the color a bit if you add a lot, and add too much to some dishes, and it can flavor it. There's no exact science to it as with anything you cook - just start small.
Hello Darcy. I received my book and the magnets. Thanks for the nice note. I have a jar of cabbage stuffed tomato peppers done in brine. Do I dehydrate it cut up like sauerkraut? Can I recan them by water bath? It saids on the lable to eat in 7-10 days.
You can cut it up and dehydrate it yes. Don't recan it.
Ok, so first time on tomatoes and some have black spot underneath in middle of slice. Could this be from sugar content?
Using new Magic Mill 10 tray. Purchased separate silicone sheets cut to fit. I have them covering out to edge and think I should cut smaller for airflow like the one that came with machine. Also the silicone sheets have much smaller holes than the more rigid plastic sheet that came with machine. The one with machine the tomatoes are all fine. I think the juice puddled on other sheets and sugars turned dark in middle.
What do you think?
Thank you for all you do!!
It's sugar browning fast. You don't need to cut for airflow because that is horizontal not vertical.
What dehydrator do you like best? I'm contemplating an Excalibur, 9 tray. But I see the cosori is so much cheaper...
I have them both and use them both and love them both. The Cosori is cheaper, quieter, but doesn't do as much volume in one sitting. You can see a comparison here: th-cam.com/video/9jFRRcsV5SU/w-d-xo.html
And if you are in the continental US - you can use my link to Cosori's parent company with the code TPP and get it for $128.99 sl.vesync.com/Bq7trp
One is made in the USA
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you!
So .... I have a Nesco Gardenmaster, 1000 watts, and have pretty much given up on it and am looking at various other brands as reviewed by different testing groups. Apple slices, cut with a potato peeler, as thin as I could get them. Tried it at minimum 4-trays stack (although I went nuts and bought a total of 20 trays, because the marketing info said it could handle that many) with these paper-thin slices arranged in single layer on top 2 trays. Machine seemed to be functioning fine, could hear blower running. This was in New Mexico in the summer, 105 degrees outside most of the time, AC cranked up inside so it could not have been humid. 3, 4 DAYS in that *$&#^&@*# dehydrator and still totally soft and moist. ?????? Any ideas? Besides launching it from a catapult into the nearest landfill???
Have you tested the machine to see if it's actually heating up? I wouldn't look at 'marketing pages' as a good means of reviews, either - many of them are written on Amazon descriptions and reviews - not actually used. A machine should have apple slices dried within about 12-18 hours at the most at 135F/57C (though times will always vary).
Do you have a book for all drying techniques?
shop.thepurposefulpantry.com
Ma'am at what temperature should i dry sweet potato so that it's even cooked and serves the purpose of chips, which can be consumed directly?
The same as every other vegetable - 125F/52C But they will not be like the chips you get in the shops - those are usually fried or baked. But you can do something similar by cooking first, slicing thinly, and drying, they just aren't crispy.
@@ThePurposefulPantry and what would be the shelf life of the same thing that you mentioned ma'am?
Hi, I had purchased the Excalibur dehydrator but cancelled that order so we could get the smaller and quieter Cosori. However, the Excalibur dryer sheets came to me. I was wondering if I can still cut them to size and use them in the Cosori, or should I return them ? Thanks in advance
I don't know which sheets you have. The silicone ones have fiberglass in them that you don't want to cut down. Mesh is fine.
My Excalibur Dehydrator takes DAYS to dry herbs, but the book that came with it says it is supposed to take hours. Any advice? (The dehydrator is very old… so maybe that’s the problem?) I, too live in FL - in central FL - but this is crazy!
Don't pay any attention to the book. Things dry when they dry. There are so many variables when it comes to dehydrating. Just dry :)
Hi fellow Floridian! We're up in the Panhandle, and sometimes things take as much as twice as long up here. Even in an air-conditioned house where humidity is controlled well, it takes a really long time for stuff to dry all the way. It's really weird, but I can put some things out in the garage or in the sunroom, and often they take less time than when I do them inside.
Hello darcy I dehydrated mango slices but the edges of them r brown. Is that because of a more ripe fruit that I used or is the brown edges bad.?
Yes - lower the temp next time.
Hi, I tried making tomato powder following the directions. My tomato's were crispy dry, however they are sticky and clumpy. Any suggestions? Thanks
Look up make tomato 🍅 powder
Your skins were clumpy Or the powder is. There are a few issues at play - here's info that can help: th-cam.com/video/9IfYEaGnQv8/w-d-xo.html
But biggest tip - dry your powder after, too.
Just keep drying, just keep drying, what do we do, we dry, dry ,dry......... thank you for the simple breakdown! I've tried some things but haven't gotten too far past strawberries and apples.
Darcy, i bought some silicone mats for my cosori thinking they were sold by a company for this process and when i received them they look like they are home made. Is silicon safe for dehydrating???
Yes - but they may be buying in larger rolls and cutting them down.
Our electricity had just gone up to 40p per kWh. Around 46¢ per kWh. It is costing a lot to run my stackable dehydrator. How do you feel about starting the dehydration process in a microwave to save on power costs? Will I destroy nutrients in my fruits and vegetables..
It's okay for herbs (and I still don't recommend that), but going with something fully cooked may give you less time to dry - but not always. I understand that your energy issue is huge. So you may consider taking a break, or cutting back on something else and still be able to preserve. If you're doing it just for snacking, I'd put it aside for a bit.
@@ThePurposefulPantry What about using muslin and drying outside in good weather? Would that work for herbs and greens and quick-drying things?
@@JC-vf7zs If you live in an arid climate with not many bugs - I certainly don't :D
I have a nesco machine. I have air conditioning and my temp is 71 and my humidity is low but I have ran tomatoes for 48 hours and they still don’t snap…they bend
They won't snap until they cool off a bit. They should be dry after 48 hrs! What temp is your Nesco?
Cool them for about 10 min first, and then test. How thin are they sliced?
@@ThePurposefulPantry
I cut them 1/4 inch thick on a mandolin. My Nesco was at
135 but some of my slices were turning black so I bumped it down to 125
It seems my peppers are not completely dry. I blended them. Should I dehydrate the little flakes again?
Yes
Do I need to pressure seal my dried zucchini if I ask a dry packet to the jar?
You don't pressure can any vegetables that have been dehydrated. They are dry storage.
@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you! I love your videos! I actually meant seal with the brake sealer I saw in one of your videos.
Have you ever made or used zucchini flour?
Yes. A video will be out soon with one way to do it and suggestions ;) And I show it here: th-cam.com/video/a6m_PB6W2n4/w-d-xo.html
Can you dehydrate fruit like lemons too long?
No - you can too hot, but not too long.
I have tried to dry apple puree or apple sauce. I was wanting it to dry so I can power it. I left it in there for 3 days, even flipped it. Still sticky and rubbery. What am I doing wrong?
I can't know. What temperature are you using? Are they peeled and cored ? Are you testing when they are still warm or fully cooled? How thick did you cut them. All those things play into how things dry.
Apple puree and apple sauce are a lot 'wetter' than apples alone. You might be able to make fruit leather with that stuff, but if you want apple powder in a reasonable amount of time, you need to just use apples.
@@jdgower1 thank you, I bummed though I have more sauce than apples lol wanted to dry it so it would take up less space and I'm not a fruit leather kind of person lol.
Cranberry sauce?
What question do you have about it?
Curiosity. Have u dehydrated it?

Just found you today. Watched your 4 things pro/con Excalibur. I purchased one yrs ago. Haven't used it much. This is going to sound weird (It IS weird!), but........ I saw some yrs ago that the Excalibur (not sure of spelling) was made by the Killer Baits Co. When I looked it up, I saw a "weird" site where the Killer Baits Co was saying they did not want their background (?) information or "about" information given. The whole thing seemed strange and I haven't been able to find any information about the Killer Baits Co. and I have never even found the site again that had that statement on it. Are you familiar with the company?
No, and Excalibur is not owned by them.
... since humidity seems to be an issue with the amount of time it takes .. I'm wondering if anyone here has used a dehumidifier in the room to eliminate the extra moisture in the air ...?
Folks do, yes.
what happened to the group you had? It says it does not exist? What did I miss here?
Here on TH-cam? I announced that I had to close it. I have a family issue that requires so much more of my time now (aging parent moving in) that I just couldn't give it the time you deserved.
@@ThePurposefulPantry totally understand that. I hope it works well for you.
@@ThePurposefulPantry Prayers for all of you - that isn't always a smooth transition.
@@ThePurposefulPantry that’s a wonderful thing you are doing. We cared for both in-laws and my parents in their homes. When they started to pass on it was one every year from 2016-20. And we had some aunts and nephew added. It was awful years and we miss them all so much. Enjoy your time.
