Vfem, do you have problems with humidity when you dry things in your car? How thin do you cut your tomatoes? Do you use any seasoning on them? I dried tomatoes in the back window of my car, but it took 3 days to do it, and still had to finish some of them in a low oven. Am I doing something wrong? Temperature was not a problem; I had the windows halfway down to keep the temp below 150.vfem said:
I never crack my windows when I dry in the car, I leave the vent tab over to exterior air flow option so I know they are open. I do cherry tomatoes and just cut them in half, takes 2-3 days depending on the humidity. (Another reason to leave the windows closed, you're letting humidity in.) I've done a few roma's before and seeding them was good because they dried about a day after the cherry tomatoes. Garlic chips only take a day or less actually, figs take as long as the tomatoes do. Apples as round thin slices have been done in 2 days. I have had to finish off some in the oven before with the temp set at 110-150 and that finished them off in about 2-3 hours.so lucky said:
