One of my favourites is thinly sliced Courgettes (or do you call them Zukini in your patch.)  They are absolutely lovely.and the best "crisps" (or do you call them chips over there) I am making a big batch for Christmas.  You need to buy the smaller thin ones as you don't want the pips which can become bitter.

I have never thought seriously about a dehydrator. But I think I will get one and see how I go. I thought I could vacuum seal dried fruits etc and they should keep well.

Some of these threads are getting as tempting as the shopping thread. I never thought about a dehydrator before but think I might have to give them a try.  :-\

Joining this forum could prove to be dangerous - one of the reasons I bought my Thermomix was to de-clutter the kitchen but since reading some of these threads I think I 'need' an ice cream maker, pie maker and now a dehydrator!  Luckily I already have the pizza machine.

It is getting hard to resist the temptation but I don't want one of those big ones.  How are the smaller round types, are they worth getting for people who don't want to do an awful lot of drying?

I am not even slightly tempted by this thread  ;D ;D
