Ducks 4 in '24

I liked to dehydrate tomatoes too. I crumbled them over salads in the winter. I refused to buy tomatoes from the store and salad greens grow best before and after tomatoes. It’s not fair!

I refuse to buy rosemary from the store. My mom used to send me large boxes of it and I would hang it all up and dry it. Now I have to get it from my own garden or do without!

@baymule
1) do you drain your slices before dehydrating?
2) how thick do you slice OR how do you prepare tomatoes for dehydrating?
Haven't ever done it before this week, so I need to ask an expert!!

I use a mandolin slicer. Perfect uniform slices every time. Also use for slicing cucumbers for pickles.

I love the mandolin slicer, I use it as much as I can because it saves so much work! I used to avoid making scalloped potatoes, but once I got a mandolin I was ready to make a pan of those every week! Love it for salad veggies too and pizza toppings.
