Haha This^^^

I have one and love it!! Haven't tried anything too crazy. Fruit and jerky. Plums are one of my favorites. My daughter loves strawberries, peaches and pears too. I like to do apples sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, yummo. But yeah, we eat it way faster than it can dry. My daughter sneaks in and steals pieces as they dry. I just have a cheapo model from Walmart. But one of these days want a nice one...

I saw this thread and thought oh yeah Doolittle does this

Three words: Dehydrated Fresh Pineapple

Better than candy!

I also soak apple and pear slices in lemon water before dehydrating as it helps stop them from browning.

On the "to do" list for sure!!! :gj: Thanks for the tip as well!

I figured out which one I'm going to order - its the Nesco FD-75PR Snackmaster. Sounds beast! Oh, and the jerky kit they have, consider that bought as well. :D

Oh yeah! Bulk apples are on sale at the store, so I'll be making dehydrated cinnamon apple rings this weekend.
