I am thinking of buying a dehydrator with which I can dry fruits, They are very costly though, and I wonder if it will be worthwhile.

I know that fruits and vegetables can be sliced and cooked in the oven on a low heat but since I live alone hardly use the oven and think this method would be too expensive as well.

Any ideas, please Ladies?

Some not all that expensive air fryers can dehydrate too.

I’ve done apple slices and oranges and lemon slices. The citrus are great at Xmas for the tree and fireplace. I put raffia or string through and hang them around. Bought it years ago good investment. Dried lots of stuff.

I have one with lots of extra trays- and share it around with friends. Not expensive at all and so useful. I use mine to dry herbs, medicinal and for cooking, but mainly for foraged mushrooms.

A German friend dries all sorts of veg and pulverises into veg powders to use in soups, stews etc through the winter. I have dried apple slices in a borrowed dehydrator and was snacking on them for quite a while through the winter. I liked the idea, but it took up quite a bit of space. I am going to see if DD’s air fryer has a dehydrator setting.
