    Another batch of dried apple slices finished. I made them thin and dried them crispy for 10 hours at 70°C. It's funny to see how much they shrink during the process. From barely fitting on the drying racks to occupying half the area.

      @adiwan Have you weighed them before and after?

        @scribus Sadly no. I didn't think about that. My mind was more occupied by being annoyed by the apple juice sticking to my hands and concentrating on not stabbing myself removing the apple core.

          @adiwan Oh, yeah, those are definitely pressing concerns

        @scribus I just did another batch and weighted it before and after. A full batch of 540g (peeled and cores removed) resulted in 72g of dehydrated and crispy apple slices.

          @adiwan Dang that's a lot of moisture weight
