George, sorry, I don’t know of any dehydrator sources/dealers here… you can do it in an oven, however…

Hi MM,

I was wondering if you would know where I can buy a dehydrator here in Manila? I’d really like to duplicate this great recipe of yours!

Thanks in advance

HI MM,
I Just made some semi-dried tomatoes, more or less similar to your recipe, a week ago. I was quite disappointed with the results. I guess, the tomatoes were too watery to start with, even if I did remove the seeds and most of the juice. Or the tomatoes were not sweet enough. I found that the results were not worth the effort. I guess you have to choose the kind of tomato to semi-dry. Otherwise, I’d prefer to buy the sun-dried tomatoes, although these could be pricey, are nevertheless easy to prepare directly on salads and/or worth preserving in olive oil with herbs and the like.
Cheers!

I was just about to ask you the difference of semi-dried and sundried tomatoes because i just saw semi-dried tomatoes in Terry’s at Podium last Friday! The semi-dried tomatoes were beside the olives and I didn’t know if you could use them like you do sun dried tomatoes… With all things food, you really are the source! Thanks for the post…

Marketman,
Tks for your feedback. I hope you won’t mind if you tell me where to buy parmigiano regiano — I dont see it in the supermarkets of Rustans and Megamall. Would be much grateful if you can tell me a nice substitute for it locally available. I just feel you’re the guru of anything related to cooking.
