Awesome post thank you for sharing
I have mentioned my dehydrator before (linden Tea). I thought I’d post a couple of pictures of the dehydrator and blackberry & apple leather.
The unit gets quite warm on top – I can use this to dry other things as well, such as herbs and these beans and peas, which will be used in soup come the winter.
Inside there are five shelves. This number suits my needs.
For leather the shelves have to be covered in a Teflon membrane. This is expensive but tough.
Once the leather is dry I finish it off without the membrane. This latest batch has not gone well – too dry and brittle.
Better too dry than still damp, though, or the leather will go mouldy.
