Things you dehydrate

I’m looking forward to drying some tomatoes

Some Onions here said sun-dried tomatoes are way better than dehydrated by machines. More here:

Dried tomatoes - the best way to prepare them?

I love dried tomatoes from Italy, I find they are the best when bought in bottles soaked in oil. At times I bought the dried version, as with some suggestions, I soaked them in hot water before use, I find them losing too much taste when compared to the bottled version. I haven’t tried soaking in olive oil yet. Which is the best oil to use? Do you add aromatics and what is your procedure? How long do you need to wait? Thanks in advance.

It would be cool to have a freeze dryer

Agreed! Especially when one of my cat’s favourite expensive snack is just freeze dried chicken.
