I had a bumper crop of tomatillos this year. Unfortunately, my old crappy Nesco brand food dehydrator died (again) for the final time (can't replace the blown thermal fuse and can't reattach the fan because everything is effing integrated into the mica.) So, while I ordered a brand new dehydrator that is much more professional and easy to clean and fix. Unfortunately, there was a random hard frost and I lost about 6 bushels of tomatillos.
Anyway, now I have an awesome food dehydrator, even if I paid too much for it. Stainless Steel Dehydrator (model 26DHD001-1200SS-10T), all stainless, 1200 watts, 10 trays (14" x 16" trays; 186.66 square feet of tray space). I'm amazed by how much that thing will hold in 1 load. It can do enough apples for over 1 gallon of dried apples. I did 15lbs of carrots. Which can now fit into 3 quart jars.
