I am also a chef, so my desire to create all of the yummy deydrator recipes is great. But I have such a dilemma...one is the amount of electricity that is used...and I wonder if it is truly sustainable to be a raw vegan in the winter in Central PA. Also, there was another post just yesterday that I can't find now about the plastic issues of dehydrators. AARGH!! I looked at the stainless steel ones and this is a viable option for me, yet the sheets are plastic. So frustrating. I suppose I could use unbleached parchment paper, but that ultimately needs to be thrown away (and we all know there is no 'away') Also was wanting to find a stainless spiralizer. Does anyone have one? Thanks and peace to all

There is a great book you may have read called Rawsome!...which you may have at your library. The author discusses living raw vegan in the cold, dry climate of CO. She supplements her diet with a lot of hot and fiery spices and hot herbal teas.
There is also a forum topic entitled Cost of a Dehydrator posted on 11/10 that details the electricity that a dehydrator uses and cost associated
