I've been picking lots of apricots lately and yesterday dried some using the oven and by parking them outside in the 33 C heat. Thought I'd like to do lots more to see me through the year so am wondering if it's worth buying a dehydrators. Has anyone here used one - are they any good? Cheers

we had one at home when i was a kid, i think we all just got sick of chewy fruit? apricots are nicer fresh!
They are brilliant,especially when you have large amounts of fruit to dry. The best one is the Ezi-Dry which you can purchase through Hydraflow Industries. You can directly from them. They also make the Sush-Ezi and the Anuka electric hot smoker.

Ezi Dry.......mine has been going flat tack the last 3 days drying tomatoes, garlic, mint.My salads have perked up again with dried tomatoes in olive oil with garlic and feta.Yum
Don't bother with a Sunbeam....imo only good for drying herbs or flowers.

My mother used to have one. Didn't get used much and eventually got put in teh garage till I took it off her hands, then I didn't use it much either and eventually donated it to a hospice shop.
