Reply to "Food Dehydrator Temp"

It may help if you let the dehydrator run for a few minutes before you add cookies so the air flow & temperature are already established. I always use 105 degree setting, the cookies are in until the first step (usually flooding) is finished, which could easily take 1-2 hours. Each cookie goes in as soon as it's flooded. When the 4th tray is full, the 1st tray comes out---at 105, the cookies will be warm and are moved (on the dehydrator tray) to a cooling rack. By the time the 5th tray is full of cookies, the 1st tray is ready for the 2nd step of decorating. Each cookie could be in the dehydrator at 105 for a total of 4-5 hours. The cookies are still moist regardless. I think they absorb moisture from the icing as it dries. The cookies have never been hard or crispy. Go figure! I'm just thrilled the decorating can be all done and the icing dry within 1 day instead of 4!
