Has anyone used it for preventing fruit from browning?

Yes, my wife uses it for that purpose. It is chemically identical to Fruit Fresh and Vitamin C. It serves the same purpose as lemon juice in that regard. I use it to mask the metallic taste of postassium chloride.

I've only used them on fondant and gumpaste. I don't know if it works for fruits. They seem a bit too small to work on fruit though. If it does maybe watermelon or apples but I'm not sure.

I used it last summer on my flowering pear tree that had a root exposed which kept sprouting. It has totally fixed the problem. The tree was not hurt and the root did not have sprouts popping up daily.

I used it for beef jerky and the fats even after removing all visible fat, caused the plastic trays to disintegrate. I was thinking about writing a negative review for this item based on my losing 3 of the five trays to melting and the destruction caused by the meat, but have no done so. To answer your question, the beef jerky finished in about two days, and the fruits finished relative to their moisture content. Apples sliced 1/4 to 1/2 inch took a little over a day to dry to the very dry point I prefer for longest storage. Pears were about the same. I dried squash, and it took over a day. The temperature of the heated air passing up through this drier is not adjustable, so time is the only variable you have, but this prevents over heating, which damages nutrition. I am keeping the unit in hopes of finding or making metal trays instead of using the cheap plastic ones it came with.

I did use it to dehydrate a couple of years ago. I remember it worked well. I sliced fruit really thin to make fruit leather. Do a trial batch.

I would not recommend it unless you are having troubles with pests. This is a pesticide and you should be careful putting it on any fruit you intend on eating or harvesting.

I have not, but it was my sour cherry tree that inspired me to get this. (I also have several mature standard apple trees and that's what I've used it for.) I don't think it would work great. The prongs at the end are widely spaced. You grab an apple with them and pull to drop it into the basket. I can't see how the prongs could grab cherries, even the larger sweet variety. I bought a ladder for the cherries.

Yes. I use it on all of my apple and other fruit trees to prevent apple borers.

I have only used this for baking. I do not get the feeling that it is for browning meat. Just try a little oil in the pan and if you like, flour the meat and it will brown up. You can also brown without the flour.

I recommend Sernade. Copper did not work for me. Sernade is organic, safe and we use it on pears and peonies. Also safe to eat the fruit the next day.

A great product. I have used it going on two years for Blackberrys & apples. A nice juicer. I fill both the fruit container and the water---takes about an hour to tap off the juice. No problems & no seeds.

I have had no issues, if you cut acidic fruits or leave it in salt water and never clean it it will rust

I used it for my juice pulp. I believe due to the juicing process, which breaks down the food quicker, lead to an overpowering smell that this could not keep in. I would need to do it at least everyday if not more.

I have used in on grapefruits and it works well. I have also used it on small manderins, not as easy, but doable.

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

Sorry, I've never tried. Only used on tomatoes, apples, squash, and to make salsa.
