Dehydrator has arrived!

The food dehydrator I ordered has finally arrived!  I can't wait to start putting things in there to see what happens.

Snacks I can't wait to make in the dehydrator: 

1.   beef jerky

2.   strawberries

3.   kale chips

4.   apple chips

5.   crunchy green beans

6.   herbs (not a snack, but still...)

7.   green beans

8.   zucchini chips

9.   craisins

10. fruit roll ups

The dehydrator comes with a base, 4 trays, and a lid.  The lid is the part that actually has the electrical components: heating elements and fan.  The base and trays are dishwasher safe.  

There's also a recipe book included with the dehydrator.  It does not have ton of recipes, but there are enough to get started.  I'm already adding dehydrator accessories, like a fine mesh screen for drying herbs and a tray with a lip for fruit roll ups, to my wish list.  In the meantime I've started collecting dehydrator recipes on a Pinterest board so that I can try them later.
