-=>I distinctly overheard Donna Lewis say to Wanda Guin<=-
Donna,
 DL> Haven't seen anything on orange slices.  The ones in the store look
 DL> like they have clear acrylic type coating on them.
I did dry some orange slices, and they turned out well.  I just started
drying some lemon slices!  I think they will do well too.
 WG > Are the apple slices suppossed to stay curled up?  I dried some a while
 DL> Most that I have ever seen are flat.  Maybe they curled because they
 DL> dried too fast, or maybe they need to have a piece of screen over them
 DL> to keep them from curling.  In a dehydrator they wouldn't be able to
 DL> curl because the trays aren't deep enough.
I don't have a dehydrator; I just lay them out on cardboard, and turn
them once or twice a day.
 DL> Remember, you can get 3 shapes from the apples.  Cut side to side, you
 DL> get a circle.  Cut top to bottom, you can get some oval and heart
 DL> shapes. 
Hey, I forgot about that!  I just bought some apples, too...the ones I
dried before were just cut side to side.  I have some pears that are
really crunchy, I may try one...
take care,
Wanda
