@@Jeni_Gough you are very good thank you. just wanted to point out that you did make a point (twice) about how beneficial it is to let them sit for 24 hours after drying. i am not sure but if the air is moist i think that's way too long, unless there is something about potatoes (compared to all other veg) which makes it ok. food starts re-hydrating as soon as its exposed to humid air, and i think its generally recommended to get food off trays, let cool so not hot when into jars. 5-10 to maybe most 20min sitting in un-drying air. then into jars straight away. the only reason for the delay is to get them to cool down. what are your thoughts about this? and what do you advise for things like carrots, peppers, peas, corn? same 24 hour? do you live in a dry place? do you not think it matters so much the humidity?
