Confused Anyone oven dry tomatoes before?
I'm oven drying garden tomatoes for the first time. Has anyone ever done this before?

If you have, do you have to flip them over during the drying process. They're moist underneath and I was thinking that flipping them might work.

I've done it -- maybe it's not the exact right way but I didn't flip them over and used a baking sheet and they turned out fine. (I do know the recommended way to do this though is on a rack.)

Many times! It's super easy and I always find them when I clean out the crisper drawer in my fridge.

The recipe's I looked at didn't say anything about flipping them or using a rack.

This year, I've been eating as much local produce as possible and thought that I'd try drying tomatoes too as I love sun dried tomatoes in things but they're so expensive.

Anyone read Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle? It was pretty interesting. I'd been eating local stuff a lot before I read the book, but it's firmed my resolve to do more of that.

Cindy, did you ever flip them or did you use a dehydrator?

I saw the rack recommended in several places when I first did this but well, I didn't listen, and they still came out okay. If you think about it, it does make sense though because the air can circulate on all sides.

I flip them right into the trash. My dehydrator weighs about 300lbs. empty.
