YAY, and welcome to The Purposeful Pantry! I’m so glad you’ve decided to receive my emails and start your own food-dehydrating journey!
As promised, here is your Dehydrating Temperature Chart to get started! You can simple right click the image and save it to your device, but I’m also sending a copy to your email so you can have it in a safe place. You can print it out and hang it on your fridge, or if you’d prefer, you can get a magnet or sticker that’s a more permanent solution for you!
What the Purposeful Pantry can do for you:
- Teach you how to dehydrate food to preserve in your pantry for short-term and long-term needs.
- Create a long-term menu plan and build your deep pantry around it;
- Make meals and snacks from shelf-stable dehydrated foods that your family already loves!
- Create food storage you grow yourself or invest in from your local grocery shelves through dehydrating, freezing, and canning;
- Create a life where you can begin to reach out and help others.

Questions?
Here are some of the questions I get asked most often:
There are so many variables, but for many, the Cosori Stainless Steel Premium dehydrator is a great choice! It’s small, quiet, and moderately inexpensive. There are so many machines to choose from, but the Cosori really is a great machine for many homes.
Frozen vegetables are the easiest beginner dehydrating project. They are already prepped, blanched, and ready to be thrown onto the dehydrator for a no-fail project. You can also learn about all the various questions folks have about dehydrating with this Dehydrating Basics FAQ I set up to walk you through getting started.
I do! Dehydrating Basics & Journal is a twist on a traditional cookbook that marries recipe record-keeping with traditional how-to’s!
I spent so many years fearful of food storage, in particular, canning. When I found dehydrating, I realized it was a great way to start which was so much easier to do. When I saw that there wasn’t a lot of practical knowledge available, I felt led to share what I’d learned with those looking for practical food storage and dehydrating information that fit everyday families.
