We recently purchased a Nesco American Harvest dehydrator and so I wanted to ask you dehydrator folks how you use your machine, any tips, anything to avoid... in other words how to know and love dehydrating.
We are also interested in doing fruit rolls and bought the special insert, so again any tips, pitfalls, advise not included in general instructions.
Why do you like your dehydrator? How long do dehydrated fruit or vegetables (apple slices or hot/sweet peppers) last?
Does the drying time increase with the number of trays?
How do you know the item being dried is sufficiently dried? The manual makes a big point to not overdry, but how do you know?
As always our BYHers are the most knowledgeable folks to ask, and I thank you greatly in advance for ANY guidance.
