Thanks for the info.
We got an Excalibur 9-tray dehydrator upon the recommendation of JustaDumbBlonde and have been very satisfied with it for two years. A friend had a Nesco (I think that’s the brand name) and it gave out under heavy use. Alton Brown described a much less expensive method for dehydrating on one of his shows. I’ll look for that episode and PM the URL to you if I can locate it.
RE: dehydration: Would you ping me to that episode too if/when you find it? Thanks!
