I think @rotuts wants to know how these potatoes are used. The potatoes don't look like fries, @Darienne; to me they look more like potato peelings. Would it be possible to open the jar and take a few out and photograph them for us?

How did you prepare these potatoes, @Darienne?

Have 1.5 dozen corn which I was going to parboil then cut from the cob. It has just occurred to me that this would be more efficiently done in the APO. Settings? 100% steam at 213°F for how long?

Huh. I thought that cabbage was raw! And that, somehow, the cabbage had been reduced to a purée under the lamb. . . . These are the joys of not understanding the context. 😄 (I make the same errors reading recipes in French, though my French is better than my German).

Duvel, sadly, I can't see the cabbage very well. 😒

I'm looking forward to your posts on this topic, @gfweb. With photos, I hope!

@Darienne, does the dehydrator get adversely flavoured/scented during this process?

Thanks. How are you using the carrots?

I bought a couple of butternut squash, with an eye towards dehydrating. One of my dehydrator books says to parboil the squash 5 minutes first, before slicing (would it still hold together? 🙄) The other thinks that one should only be dehydrating cooked and mushed squash. I thought to substitute a squash slice for lasanga pasta in a casserole. My plan was to slice on the mandoline about 1/4" thick (while raw). I thought this slice might be thin enough to not need precooking. However I don't want a dish which can't be cut and thus requires wild chewing! Has anyone have ideas or tried this?

Hallo @EQuinn. There are many fine folk here, you will soon make friends. Welcome!

Oh @Duvel, I'm feeling weak and in need of beef broth and carrot casserole and pasta and creamy spinach. Can I come over? Your Dad is lucky to have you. 🤣

You betcha, @emmalish. Wait until I get started on the kitchen toys. 🤣 🤣

Yes you can, @emmalish. Rancho Gordo beans are probably less than a year old when they're shipped, so you could buy a couple years worth. I looked for beans grown in Canada as a gift for a relative (without success) and ended up shipping them quite a volume of beans. Toot, toot!

Hello ChefandBeeVT. Hope you make some fast friends, you'll find folk are pretty friendly here. Welcome!

@PedroG, so good to hear from you!

Hello, you too @mmoorree. Welcome!

Thanks, again, for taking us on this lovely trip. I never open your posts unless I have time for a good, long look.

@liuzhou, best wishes to you.

My second best pizza is shrimp halves, whole sage leaves, fresh goat cheese, small amount of grated Parmesan Reggiano. 6 minutes.

@Kim Shook and @CookBot could you please provide recipe or instructions or photo to explain this "internal hack" for cinnamon rolls?

Hello @Maistoprofas. Looking forward to learning more about you. Welcome.

Oh, gumbo. Yum! Looking forward to finding out how you make gumbo. 😄

I have a 2 roll DYMO label printer (from my old office). One of the rolls is filled with 2-up file folder labels. Nowadays it takes much less time to type and print a label than write one. And a godsend if multiple labels are required. With an added benefit of being able to write very specific info about the contents.

Hello @Ralf Pi. I too am interested in Brazilian cuisine, so shall be very interested in your posts. The folk here are quite friendly. Welcome!

Hello @cookbot, I shall be interested to hear your discoveries and thoughts about restaurant v.s. private cooking. Also, perhaps in the future you might treat us to a close desription of one of your meals. Lots of folk here are very friendly. You're sure to soon meet some fast friends. Welcome to eG!
