I have the same dryer as yours and it does scorch some of the tomatoes. It helps when I put them on 120. And, it is only a small percentage that burn. (They even taste the same, just look black.) But, here is my problem. When I pull the tomatoes out, they are pliable, but not sticky or anything. They are dry. I whiz them in my blender and they blend up just fine, they just seem a little bit damp. Not powder dry. Do I just keep drying them until they are powder dry? I can take the powder and put it back in the dehydrator on a fruit-leather sheet if I need to. What do you think? Hey Diane,
