We dehydrated some frozen vegetables overnight with mixed results. The total drying time in our American Harvester dehydrator at 155 degrees was 8.5 hours.
We didn't pre-cook the frozen vegetables as our dehydrator book said they should be blanched which is a normal process for packaged frozen vegetables.
To test our results, we took a sample of the vegetables, covered them with boiling water for 10 minutes, then lightly simmered them on the stove top.
The peas and carrots turned out best and were palatable. We will vac seal them and take them on the trip.
The corn was pretty tough and may turn into bird feed.
This morning, my wife is pre-cooking another bag of frozen corn, and will dehydrate that for 4 hours, then test tonight and see if we get something edible.
We will also buy some more frozen peas as they turned out great.
Anyone have any luck with dehydrating corn or reconstituting it?
It all worked out in the end. We brought the dehydrated corn to a boil, simmered it with a lid on the stovetop for a while and it fully reconstituted. So it is dried, vacuum packed and ready to go.
