up to 200F is safe - over that & the peppers, tomatoes, etc will burn I do my tomatoes & peppers @200F for 4-6 hours - checking them every 15-30 minutes to make sure they don't burn I put them on cookie sheets - they also do well on racks on cookie sheets so the air gets to them from both top & bottom also, allow space around them - the closer together you put them the longer it will take for them to dry Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 > ---------- > From: Pieters, Rob > (NL01)[SMTP:Rob.Pieters@netherlands.honeywell.com] > Reply To: Pieters, Rob (NL01) > Sent: Monday, September 13, 1999 1:13 AM > To: Chile-Heads > Subject: [CH] dehydrators 2 > > Thanks All for all the nice reply's on the dehydrators. > > I'm convinced using our electrical oven, but what about the temperature ? > > I've got suggestions between 90 and 200F, is there any hand rule for this. > Is it depending of the size or kind? > Or is it depending on time you want to dry?
