"With the price of potato chips now" A bag of store-purchased chips is far less of an expense than dehydrating. The point is that you are not eating, feeding to other people, shite. Moreover, it's not about the cost for a bag of chips; it's about minimizing the risk of eating very, very, very... unhealthy foods purchased at most grocery stores. You will begin to notice that you, your family, etc. are more resilient to sickness as a result of eating healthier foods. Imagine all the savings on doctor bills. Be well!

I just ate plain zucchini chips with salsa. To spice them up? What a great idea! We are lower carb so very much appreciated

I am from Austin, now live in Arizona. When they opened a Rudy’s in Arizona, I was so ecstatic. Mind you it’s 90 miles from me in Gilbert, but when I go down there, you bet your britches I get me some brisket!

I have a Presto dehydrator and have been experimenting with veggie chips My first experience was ok, but after 14 hours the zucchini was still rubbery. I put them in the oven and they then got crispy. Perhaps a bit too much. I think I may have sliced them too thin. Now I’m doing a batch with beets, sweet potato and zucchini. I went up a size in slicing so we’ll see. I love that yours comes out so crisp. I’ve also been using a recipe that uses a touch of oil, so that may be a mistake. It’s all an experiment is my excuse to my disappointed daughter.😂

Hi Darcy. This is my second year trying your chips . Delish! Question. I dehydrated kale and it turned out fine. I put them in canning jars and left them open for a couple of hours.

Never leave it sitting out overnight - it just reabsorbs whatever moisture is in the air, plus collects whatever dust, dander, bacteria and mold is floating in the air. You may not have had trouble in the winter with reabsorption either because you're using a heater or you have very low humidity.
