RE: Making French Fries
No, they are Excalibur 9 trays. I prefer to use something I can control the temperature on. I dehydrate because of the higher nutrition and properties. The material should never go above 145F or you lose the enzymes and nutrients that are heat sensitive. For that reason I am not fond of the solar ones. Plus, this year, the solar ones would be useless with the 100% humidity and constant rain...
That makes a lot of sense! So the solar ones can get too hot and don't work well outside an ideal environment. Is there a situation where they would be more useful to you?
My helper friend built one, but he's not gotten much use of it this year. So I have first hand knowledge of using one in this area of New England. Can't speak for other areas or other designs.
