I love, love, love my Excalibur dehydrator. On our shopping trip to Sam's Club I picked up several bunches of bananas with the intention of drying them for the rabbits. Our rabbits are quite spoiled, and they love a fruit treat. They are picky though and do not like commercially dried fruits. I think it has something to do with all of the extra additives.
I sliced enough bananas to fill 8 trays. I tried to slice them evenly and at a thickness of about two quarters (give or take).
I then turned the dehydrator on and set the timer for 24 hours - yes 24 hours! I wanted them to be as dry as possible. They will not be as crisp as the store bought ones. I also opted not to spray these with lemon juice. The rabbits do not care if they are a bit brown.
I vacuum sealed the slices and will give them to the rabbits as a treat. I am also using them to help tame the two new girls. They are my best friend if I have a banana slice.
