I purchased the Nesco FD-75 A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator. I will definitely get the Prague #2. I am a bit neurotic about food safety... you should see what I do each year to can/jar tomatoes, peaches, jellies and jams (pus the pickled beets). Everything is super clean and sterilized. Thank you, L!

Excellent. We have an All American 925 pressure canner. That thing is a tank! I sterilize our jars in the oven at 250 while I’m prepping everything. We do our own stocks, Chicken and Beef, and I’ve put back gallons of turkey soup, venison stew, etc.
We picked berries like crazy people last summer. Strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry, blueberry jams, and a friend of ours gave us almost ten pounds of grapes. Straight into jelly. There’s nothing like the home made stuff.
I even did cranberry jelly for Thanksgiving this year. Way better than the store canned crap.
Last weekend we put up 8 quarts of split pea soup with ham. We are running out of room in the pantry. LOL.
We can talk about Home made pickles another time.
Merry Christmas!

Found the above unit on Craigslist for $50, used.
The canner: http://www.allamericancanner.com/All-American-25-Quart-Pressure-Canner.htm I got from another CL seller for $100.
We give both of them a real good workout. LOL
