Apples take overnight to dry pretty crisp.


There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
My five tray Excalibur is sitting on the dining room table, so I just pulled out a tape measure to check, and the usable part of the trays is 14"x14". They have a small lip around the outside edge that keeps the plastic tray liners in place. Since my garden (and my house) are on the small side, I couldn't justify buying or storing the nine tray model.
