A solar dehydrator is extremely useful for fun, drying fruits and for candies, of course.<\/p>\n

What is the big difference, you ask? well… did you ever by dried apples and feel they are soggy and soft? My dried apples are like chips – thin, hard and taste a LOT better! And the same goes for every fruit I dry in that dehydrator.<\/p>\n

I HIGHLY recommend you make one – and I’ve made my first one using a cabinet someone threw away, a sheet of glass, stainless steel net and some rubber seal for windows. Total cost was under 20$ but you can easily make yours cheaper by using whatever glass you have and modifying the box to it’s size. The stainless net proved to be a bad idea – barbecue sticks for meet are wonderful and fruits don’t stick as well to these.<\/p>\n

Here are the pro’s and Con’s:<\/p>\n

Pro’s<\/strong><\/p>\n

Con’s<\/strong><\/p>\n

Takes a couple of days<\/p>\n

Need protection from the rain (not, IF you build yours from steel and paint it).<\/p>\n

Here is how I’ve built mine (in my other YT channel “smallathe”)<\/p>\n
