Hello all!

Some posts back I mentioned my interest in getting a food dehydrator and several people said

get the Excalibur-----its the best...........just cost a bit.........or something to that effect.

Well I have some more questions!

If you have an Excalibur-----
did you get the stainless steel trays or the plastic?

how hard or easy are the trays to clean ?

I understand the trays do not go in the dishwasher and some other models have trays that do..............I am not sure if this is a big deal or not?

If you do fruit roll up type of stuff...........maybe more stickiness might occur if it goes over ?

Did you get one with a timer or no timer ( I am thinking a timer would be good)

Another brand that seems to get good reviews is a Nesco
anyone tried this type?

it costs much less and trays go in the dishwasher...........

thanks in advance for your ideas


talk about putting the cart before the horse an all-------I have purchased the seeds and they have arrived.
the raised beds are not made, its not spring yet, but I am already planning on what to do with my great yield of garden fresh veggies!

hope I will have this problem............ie so much yield of veggies................in my future!

On another note...............went to the store to get more salt for tomorrows ice storm and many stores had only spring stuff out...............soil, seeds, patio furniture etc.............
it was really hard to find the winter shovel and salt supplies!

I think the Nesco & American Harvest are the same.....Mine is American Harvest but I can go look at it for sure tomorrow. I know my extra trays are Nesco. I really like mine.

They look spent, especially in their current condition. You could probably get several and they would probably do well for another year or two.

MC,
what have you done with Danielle, do we need to file a missing persons

she is small enough to hide just about anywhere..

She has been a busy little thing! She might pop in tomorrow. If she doesn't sleep through the weekend that is!

The Anconas are laying! 4 eggs in 3 days. 1 of the 2 from today has an almost purple tint to it.

lol! I just said the same thing. XD

First birds, tons of them in need of a good home, and then like a post later...an incubator!

I sooooo cannot wait for spring so I can do some work outside with the coop, run, and gardens.

Nice! That is a pretty egg. I noticed yesterday my daughter's Black Orpington/Austrolorp, whatever the heck she actually lays an egg with a bit of a lavender tint to it as well. Just adds more to the Easter egg basket effect I'm striving towards.

I've got 2 layers that throw a lavender/purple tint occasionally, but this is a duck. First time I've seen a duck egg with purple tint.
