The fruit dryer is with us for 1 month in daily use. I just verwerte the apple harvest from all the neighboring gardens :-) Together with 2 additional floors are apple slices or even better small apple cubes! dried overnight (I use the low tariff of electricity provider). The result is great! Shingles is too much or too tight, the fruit on a contact in between is necessary. By comparison, I layer imbricated apples on 1 shelf, which would place on 1 baking sheet in the oven! ergo: 6 sheets per pass .. Children love it! Some allergies that make a detour around fresh apples, apples tolerated parched outstanding. I had planned to give away the dried fruit this Christmas. Sealed in airtight bags that's no problem. ... If not before everything is munched away. . :-)
