CP - would using baking paper help? or perhaps on a rack so the warm air is circulating underneath rather than the lemons sitting on a hot metal surface?  -  Just a thought . . . .

CP, Don't know whether this will help or notl
 In an old CWA cookbook it has a section on fruit drying.  According to it oven temp. 45deg. C to 65 deg C. I dried the oranges in the dehydrator at 55deg.

I think that might be it Emme . . .  it's hard to get ovens that low I think . . .

I have a an Electrolux oven that has a defrost setting of 37. I've only ever used it to for rising bread dough.

CP i used a cooling rack in the oven  so the air could circulate around the lemons not just on a tray

The first time I tried I cut up 8 lemons and put 2 trays in overnight on 50 - but didn't do the single layer. This time i upped the temp to 125, 2 hours, and did the single layer. I need to find that happy medium.

Chookie's pumpkin & Wattleseed bread. Tastes ok, looks like a train wreck!

My first attempt at yoghurt went down the sink this morning, total failure. No more cooking for me today!

Katie, sounds like you're having the day I had yesterday.

[Amy :-)]

Oh dear Katie

[faffa_70]

as long as it tastes ok Katie that's the main thing!!

We all have days like this Katie, but it's great when the opposite occurs and everything turns out magic, its usually when no one is around to see it or taste it.

My first attempt at choux pastry. The chooks are enjoying them while I am trying again following CP's recipe this time.

[Amy :-)]

Good luck for attempt number 2 Den

Good luck with the next lot Den.
There are some very well fed chooks on the forum. 

[Katiej]

Good on you Den for having another go 
I'm sure the next lot with be great.

I don't have any chooks, so my DH will still have to eat my bread
