Cashews and dead dehydrator

[Guest guest]

<<<Sorry to hear about your bad day. From experience, I can say that the

Excalibur people will make it right for you. And the Excalibur is usually a

very reliable piece of equipment. We bought my father in law one and he LOVES

it. But, when it first arrived there was a defect which they promptly resolved.

I know that doesn't help today, but it will get better and you have many years

of faithful service to look forward to.>>>

 

Hi Leah,

Well sadly I did not order it from them though...I used a company that was

selling on Amazon called 877myjuicer.com

They said to pack it up and send it back, but did not answer me when I asked if

they were to cover my return shipping. They BETTER. !!!

 

 

<<<<<<<<<<When my Excalibur went, I just called Excalibur direct --

916-381-4254.

And I didn't buy my dehydrator directly from them. Didn't matter, they sent

me a new thermostat and I put it in no problem. Sounds like you didn't have

enough liquid to make your cashews creamy. I've

found you can't always follow the recipes exactly in the raw food world. A

little fresh water would have made things a little fluffier and smoother. I

usually add dates and I soak them prior to use and save the soak water. Do

not use the soak water from the cashews, however.

Oh.............more liquid. Duh...LOL. I was afraid to make them too loose as I

was trying to make a pie filling. Gee I wish I did call Excaliber now. Hmmm...

Maybe I still should??? Then I don't have to return mine. I think I will call

and talk to them Monday. Thanks for telling me.

 

<<<There was something else I wondered about the cashews. If they weren't

really raw, they might not have broken up well...Just a thought.

I got them from an organic food market and the dispenser said raw? But you never

really know do ya? They may have faked me out

Well on the plus side I made up a raw chocolate cream pie recipe and brought it

to my mom's house today and she and my brother liked it! Yahhhh!!! Success!

Raw cashews in bulk or not vacuum packed aren't really raw. Really raw

cashews are pretty expensive. If you get 10 pounds at a time from

http://www.rawfood.com, they are $11 a pound plus shipping. Otherwise,

they are $12.50 a pound. Those are fancy splits. The whole ones are

out of stock and are $12.95 a pound when they have them. Whole Foods

has them for the same price, but, of course, there is no shipping.

I'll use the not really raw ones if I'm making something to take for

" cooked foodists " to eat because it doesn't matter to them but I keep

the really raw on hand for me. It matters to me.
