OK, resurrecting this thread again. Santa left a dehydrator under my tree. Probably sick of replenishing my supply with expensive store bought stuff. Not that I'm complaining as I figure to dramatically increase my intake now.

A quick glance at the manual (I know...20 demerits) suggests cooking in oven for a while then finishing in the dehydrator. other recipies call for the whole process to be done with the dehydrator. Educate me please. Any other tips will be appreciated.
