When I have cooked dishes like spag bol in the past they come out of the dryer a bit like a leather which I have torn/crumbled up but still end up with quite big pieces. Later I need to give the meal extra time and effort to rehydrate it and it often doesn't rehydrate quite as evenly as I would like. I am currently preparing my meals for an AAWT attempt and have thought of quickly pulsing the dried food in the food processor to break it into smaller grains which should rehydrate faster and more evenly.
Has anybody else tried this or have another method to deal with this problem.
