Dehydration

My folks got me a sweet dehydrator for my birthday back in September.  It has been very useful in preserving my massive quantities of hot peppers.  This weekend I cut and loaded another batch, and they were dry today. I dry them crisp and hard, since my plan is to grind them into flakes this winter.  Kung Pao pepper flakes.  Scotch Bonnet flakes.  Jalepeno flakes.

I've also dried tomatoes in it.  Next up is rosemary and chives from the herb garden.  Well, once I'm done with the backlog of peppers.  The dehydrator is set up in the Batcave.  The hot pepper scent while the drying is in progress is pretty strong, and the constant hum gets a little annoying inside the house.
