Everything is relative. I use extra lean meat and PT absorb literally all of the oil. with veggies, home-made pasta, and lo/non-fat cheese, It takes about 20 hours to dehydrate, depending on temps. I've done it in as little as 10, but it seems to 'crisp' and darken on the edges too much for aesthetics... low and slow... plan on 24 hours, with some tossing and turning. I know I have posted pics of the process a while back, but I don't remember where. Search Freaks... I task thee!
I cracked open a bag of dehydrated chili (meat/beans/tomatoes/sauce) yesterday, that I left at my buddy's cabin in 2003; just to try a bit. (re-sealed the balance.) Awesome. we taste tested it against a new mountain house chili, and 7/7 preferred mine!
