  1. I bought a year ago a fruit dryer to make, for example, dried apple slices. I intended to use it as a filament dryer but didn't go so far to modify it, even if it is simple. However today I used it for its intended use and sliced a hand full of apples to dry them. My thought was to use it at least once the "right" way until I modify it irreversibly. Now my home smells like of warm apples.

      1. @scribus In my limited time I learned that it depends on many factors how well the dried apple slices will be. I have some that are crispy as a potato chip and some are more gummy while some are lost a lot of flavor. From the time and temperature to the thickness and position in the food dehydrator and the kind of apple. In general most of the apple pieces that I tasted were good, saying as someone who is not really liking dried fruits, but the mixed results partially enforce my stand towards dried fruits. The taste of fresh apple still beats all of that 100 times. The effort and time and energy in my opinion is a little too much for the results I got.

          1. @scribus Scented candles are the worst. Whenever I happen to be in a home decoration store and walk by the candle aisle I have to gag. The natural odor of food is way more pleasant (not including cinnamon, cherries, and strawberries).
