I've done some very limited experiments with dehydrating (brother got one for christmas, so I did some experiments with it....)

Was wondering if you could dehydrate cooked white/brown/wild rice?  Just wondering as some of these can take a long time to cook up, but might be very easy to rehydrate, and warm up...

Just currious it it would be worth the time, or edible...

thanks

Isn't it called Minute Rice?

Minute rice-either white or brown- works in the BWCA just like at home.  I often bring brown minute rice to go with a fish dinner.(  Catching a fish is another story).

For getting gooey stuff (like tomato paste or watermelon) off of the plastic liners used with dehydrators, throw the liners into the freezer for a while. The frozen stuff will crack off of the liner with relative ease. Some tough cases (crushed tomatoes) may need several freeze cycles.

One warning  , work fast to get the stuff into bags or containers as frost from the air quickly forms on the frozen stuff, partially rehydrating it. This has never been a real problem for me as I usually over dry stuff that would normally be gooey.

No, according to Cliff Jacobson in "Camping's Top Secrets".  I have followed his receipe and it worked well.  I think part of the trick is to rinse the cooked meat with boiling water-gets rid of the fat and grease.
