PleasureTalk - The Discussion Area / RAW Chat / Re: dehydrator temperatures

Based on Gabriel Cousins (Rainbow Green Live Cuisine/Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center) recommendations working in conjunction with Excalibur, you can raise the temperature to 145F for 1>3 hours depending on the density of whatever you're dehydrating. Then you turn it down to 105F or so for the remainder of the drying time. I get delicious, repeatable, reliable results using this method. Prior to this I wasted a lot of time and got totally turned off of making crackers - let alone breads and other dense items because they usually tasted bitter and horrible and fermented. As mentioned, they claim it doesn't affect the enzymes that much. Best to purchase of copy of Gabriel Cousins book here on Raw-Pleasure and investigate it for yourself - the breads recipes are amongst the best I've ever made...I form a loaf and slice it into individual slices, so this will fit in either a square Excalibur or a round dehydrator... http://www.raw-pleasure.com.au/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,265/category_id,39/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,49/ |

It took me several attempts to get through this film EARTHLINGS, I was much better in the company of friends - we were all aghast. I was overcome and had to leave the room many times. I have been exposed to a lot of animal rights films over the last 25 years and think this one should be seen by everyone. As harrowing as it is - I would much rather be informed and aware and make choices befitting life as a responsible guest on this planet. Watch the documentary EARTHLINGS in it's entirety on YouTube http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and ... all » scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended! |
