Anybody prepare their own dried food? Entrees in particular. I'm thinking about it. Tips, warnings...all appreciated. Tim

Yes, I have done tried to pre-my own dehydrated meals.

I am good with my fruit.  Apples, nectories, strawberries.
I have tried watermellon, it is ok at best and very sticky.
Banannas are not that great.

hamburger is easy enough
baccon is easy
chicken wasn't that bad.

My biggest hint i can give is for you to test our whatever you dehydrate at home.  
I tried spagetti sause, it didn't work.  I am SOOOO happy I figured this out at home.  
I have tried a few other items that didn't work, but they slip my mind right now.
