This works but is very inefficient as you are always having to swap shelves to keep things drying properly. Some may have a fan as well. With the Excalibur the healting element is situated in the back with a fan behind it to blow the air out and allow it to circulate all through the dehydrator. You do not have to swap shelves with this one.No, you do not need an expensive cadillac dehydrator. It is all a matter of what you want and what you can afford. ok, sorry I didn't see this one until after I wrote the other one. That makes sense. I don't swap shelves very often. Usually it just does it's thing. Someday I will probably want another one and will look into the one you suggest! Thanks, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy ----------------------------------------------------------- Kathy, No, you probably didn’t over dry them. That’s just how they turn out, unless you treat them with something to prevent browning, like maybe lemon juice? I don’t know, I’ve never done that because the color doesn’t bother me that much. They won’t look or taste like anything that you can buy at your bulk food section in the supermarket. Those ones are sugared and fried and they keep their color and are very crunchy. The dried ones you do yourself are more chewy. Although I have dried them longer than they chewy stage and gotten them to the crunchy stage – I like them both ways.
