With many people choosing to use frozen vegetable to dehydrate, I was wondering if anyone has ever thought of, or done items like frozen waffles, pancakes, etc. I'm sure, if possible, they would still need to be cut into smaller pieces/quartered, for example. Any thoughts?

They are usually based on grains. They will also have added ingredients such as oils, eggs, etc. As such they will go rancid in the short term. There are some lts crackers and flat breads, but I know of none that will go past 15 years.

I hadn't thought of dehydrating breads but I am currently dehydrating plum tomatoes which are in season. So far it's five hours and they're just barely shriveling up. As to breads and longevity, you may want to consider making hardtack. JMO

I actually read the recipe and it specifically mentions NOT to add oil to prevent the waffles from going rancid. So I don't know what other ingredient could cause them to become so. I believe you're good to go. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought dehydrated bread was called croutons. With garlic.

Any thoughts? I don't see the usefulness in this. Why dehydrate a flour product when you can make the same from fresh in less time than it would take to rehydrate it? When after rehydrating it, you would end up with a soggy piece of waffle or pancake that would not be pleasant to eat? I don't get it. We've all tried to eat that last pancake that sat out all day on a plate in the kitchen, the one with the dried out edges. It was a chore to choke down, huh? You only did it because as you chewed it you tried to recall the way it tasted at 7 am, that warm, pillowy, pancakey flavor tinged with syrup... and a semi-dried leftover just doesn't cut it. So how would you eat a rehydrated pancake? Wring it out and warm it up? Nope. Nope. Nope. I say stick a couple of boxes of add-water-only pancake mix to your freezer stockpile instead. Takes only five or ten minutes to warm up the mix, stir water into it and make 'em fresh and hot.

Not too surprised with anything that comes out these days. I think the radiation killed off some brain cells too! LOL
