drying in a dehydrator

| Has anyone tried drying flowers in a food dehydrator and if so what kind of results did you have? I have a food dehydrator but no instruction book with it telling how long to do different items. Would you need to lay them on paper towels or directly on the trays? Any help would be appreciated. |

| I don't have a dehydrator, but I remember someone who did. She dried herbs in hers, so I'm guessing you could dry flowers--at least some of them. I say give it a try and let us know! |

| I have a square dehydrator. It has numerous shelves in it. I removed the trays and replaced the mesh in the top tray with Some screening with large holes that I purchased from the hardware store. I would push the stems up through the screen and attach a clothes pen. It worked great. I don't really know about time. I think I usually kept them in over night. The only disadvantage was that you couldn't have very long stems. Just as long as the microwave was tall |
