Just the red flesh. I do some pretty big pieces. Roughly 1/2x6x2 inches. Whatever works for you. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I don't remove the seeds! The seeds get dried and they are quite enjoyable. Not to mention, a good conversation piece ;-)

Watermelon is a big hit! I gave some to my neighbors and they thought it was store bought! I see that some like to get water off the slices, but I don't bother. To me, that is part of the flavor of the slices. They do take a bit of time to finish. Work on something like a 1/2 inch slices.

Asian pears, pineapples and watermelons. Asian pears are tops! EDIT: Man I got a note from this site to comment here. I already commented, #37. Sorry here, but I guess I'm just going to leave this one.

LOL, no not sorry. I enjoyed reading everyone of them, and of course, some more than others. I wish I saved the carcasses. I threw both away before posting, so I won't do that again! I really liked the idea of a Chinese Chicken Salad. I'll divide the chicken 3 ways and use 2 portions for...

I just bought a couple of roasted chickens done at my local supermarket that were on special. I ended eating half of one. So I have 1 and 1/2 chickens left over that has been cleaned. I know there's tons out there for recipes but I thought I'd solicit recommendations here. Would be kinda...

I got these sheets today. I'll setup some watermelons to dry this weekend. Seems like these sheets stop alot of the airflow. I might angle towards getting something that's a little more open. Any feedback?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention these sheets. These sheets looks really promising! The ones you linked sounds like a good place to start. I'll order these now. I want to catch the last of the local watermelons, which seems to be for a couple of more weeks. Thanks for everyone's input on this and...

Thanks for the replies! Some great links too! @ karadekoolaid, I did start out with the easier fruits. One of my favorite is Asian pears. Fuji apples are good too. @blissful, watermelon seems to be a big hit with me and friends. I like the tip on drying the the fruit out before setting...

Hello, I'm new to this site and kinda new to dehydrating food. One item that seems to be a "mess" is watermelons. After drying, the trays seem to be pretty sticky and I'm thinking there's got to be a better way. I don't really want to change the taste of pure watermelons, but I'm thinking...
