Have fun with the peas, LOL!!
I have had an Excalibur for about a year now, and absolutely love it. I started dehydrating in 1999, with two of the bottom fan models, from the thrift store. They took SOOOO long to finish a batch. I can't tell you when I started saving money on electricity, vs the higher cost of the Excalibur, but I do know that it doesn't take nearly as long to dry food now, so I must be saving money, right? LOL!!!
