If you look more carefully at Sarbar's Freezer Bag Cooking website, you'll see that you can do fine without a dehydrator. A lot of her recipes use stuff that is bought already dried. It sure beats having to scrub a pot!

Oh, and at home is the place to try out new recipes and techniques! I remember the time I made and dehydrated a casserole dish with peas in it, and didn't test it at home. After 15 minutes of cooking (in the pot over the stove), the peas were still the consistency of buckshot, hard enough to break a tooth, while everything else was mush. I had to pick the peas out before I could eat dinner!
