How do you use the dehydrator function on your convection toaster oven?

Jun 06, 2007 by sarah_smiles | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

I bought this cool looking convection toaster oven from Costco the other the day. It is an Oster 6058. The main reason I bought it was because it had a dehydrator function that I want to make jerky and other goodies.

Trouble is that when I got it home and read the instructions I came to realize it can only cook for 90 minutes. I am not sure how to dehydrate in that short of time since I have always used just a regular oven or dehydrator that takes many hours to dry things like meat.

Any ideas on how to use it? Does the convection speed the process up for dehydrating? By how much? Any personal uses?

Thanks

Part of dehydrating is not for a cheaper product but a better product. I buy lean grass fed meat on sale and freeze it just for jerky. I use only organic non-preservative ingredients that have low sugar and no wheat to marinate. This produces a great product, not a cheap product .

If the dehydrating function only runs for 90 mins maybe that's all the tme it takes in that oven.Try it with a small amount of something and if it needs more time just reset it and watch it carefully. I'm betting that the convection speeds up the process.Maybe try it with an apple.

I bought this search, cool toaster oven, convection Costco the other day. It is an Easter 6058th The main reason why I bought it because I have a dehydrator function I want to do jumps and other goodies.

The problem is that when I go and read the instructions, I realized you can bake for 90 minutes. I'm not sure how to get dehydrated in this short time, because I always used just a regular oven or dehydrator, the number of hours for things like beef jerky.

All ideas on how to use it? If the speed of convection drying? How? Any personal use?

Thanks

Oster Food Dehydrator

by Samuel

In a survival prepping or self-sufficiency application, a dehydrator can be used to ensure you will have a supply of food that can last a while. In a Zombie Apocalypse situation, if you have an alternative power source, you can use it to extend the life of the food you are able to get. For those planning on hunting as a source of nutrition during the ZPAW, this is indispensable. Unless you have one heck of an alternative energy set-up, refrigeration takes a lot of energy. Getting your meat processed and dried as soon as possible ensures you have protein to make it through surviving hordes of the undead.
