Carolyn,

Herbs are a lot more

delicate and should dry at a very low heat. If you are drying with

high humidity you will use a slightly higher heat. I dry in the range

of 85-105.

Dehydrator, I have an

Excalibur and 2 Nesco American Harvest. Please see link below for

What I am recommending for people starting out. You will not beat

this price and this will save you a good bit of money over buying

piece by piece. (Trays, screens and leather trays) Look at the price

to buy trays etc. These will come out to 7.00-10.00 extra per set.

Please take a look.

Frozen veggies, Remember

most dehydrated things will last for years, take up a lot less room.

The link below is the

group I moderate on. It has 2 sister groups I recommend joying all

three. The files are extensive. Everything from candied fruit to you

name it.

Hope this helps,

I have a Farberware Convection Oven that is also a dehydrator but I've never

used it as such. It indicates that to dehydrate I should put the temp at 140 to

150 degrees. Now I no longer have the instructions so just in case I want to use

my Faberware to make kale chips instead of using my oven, can you estimate how

long it would take to make the kale chips.  Using the regular oven it's 300 for

20 minutes.

Thanks much

Melody
