finklet Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 OK - I got out my old Y2K dehydrator. (I know - shame on me for waiting so long). I tried some frozen corn after reading all I could find on this thread about it. I think I "overdried" it. But...How can you tell if it's overdried? What is it really supposed to look like? My book says 12-14 hours for corn so i did 13. It's has much more brown pieces than the pictures on the web of dehydrated corn. Did I do something wrong?? I am going to rehydrate1 cup to see if we can eat it or not (using info found on here again). This site is great !!! Link to comment

I haven't tried my corn yet, but it did come out in a spectrum of colors from yellow to brownish. So I'd like to think that's normal Here's the photo I shared of batch 1. Batch 2 did have more darks in it. Link to comment
finklet Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 It wasn't so bad actually. It did take a very long time. It tasted ok and the texture was fine. Mine has quite a bit more brown bits than the pics of yours. I'm going to keep trying. Thanks for commenting. I want to learn to dry many things - canning isn't an option for me right now.
