I also buy my dried onions, but understand the satisfaction of producing your own with full control of the type and quality!

quote billconner: "Just curios, but can you rehydrate the flakes and grill them? "
Onion flakes are pretty small to be grilling, even if you rehydrated them.

quote billconner: "Grilling as in a fry pan with a little butter."
I was thinking you were wanting to grill them like on a grill or in one of the wok type baskets or trays you use on a grill. When I grill onions at home I leave them in fairly large pieces and grill them along with zucchini, summer squash and mushrooms plus EVOO and salt and pepper. I also add in some bell peppers too.

35 ounces of ground beef became 8 ounces. Just sliced and put 1 1/2 pounds of mushrooms in dehydrator. I'm guessing they'll weigh in the 15 to 20% range.
Fruit cake cookies to bake this weekend - and will probably do the pineapple, and maybe the pizza sauce in dehydrator. Leaves peppers, refried beans, an apples I think.

Those 24 ounces of mushrooms are just about 10% or 2 1/2 ounces.
Just spread a pound can of refried beans and almost that much pizza sauce on the fruit roll-up trays. Hopefully that won't take more than overnight and I can start pineapple tomorrow. Not sure how to measure that - peeled or unpeeled. Two red peppers whole are 1 pound 2 ounces Together) and the pineapple is more than my two pound capacity scale - maybe 3 or 3 1/2? I'll work on that.

I just did 6 zucchini and 6 summer squash yesterday in the dehydrator. I've done red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, granny smith apples with cinnamon, strawberries, kiwi, mushrooms, celery, sausage, & ground beef.

Last week I did ground beef and retried beans and Twins87 dropped off experimental batches of corned beef hash and pepperoni that she did for me in her dehydrator.
Today I started 3 trays of canned chicken, 1 tray of leftover baked beans with canned pulled pork, 1 tray of leftover beef stew, and 1tray of leftover herbed rice/quinoa blend.

I approve of your dehydrator choice, Bill! I've got the same one & it is a workhorse. I picked up extra fruit leather trays for it last fall when REI was clearancing out accessories for the Open Country variant of this model.
