Dehydrator

I love to shop @macys especially when I get star money and additional discounts. I had told Big Guy that I have too many kitchen appliances, but like his plants, we can always make room for one more, right?

We decided to use our bounty of discounts to purchase a @cuisinart dehydrator. I have never used one, but the idea of having lemons and oranges handy to add to my tea sounded like a fun experiment. Once I opened the box, I realized I could use this baby for herbs and proteins as well. It opened my mind to so many possibilities!

I started with my lemons and oranges to break it in. Granted, I only did one tray, but the surprise was the time it took to truly get the slices in the perfect state.

I know the experienced folks out there will chuckle, but it took eight hours. It was a good thing I had writing and gardening to keep me busy while this appliance did its work!
