trying oven as dehydrator

[cassidy]

Right now I have "tortillas" in the oven at 95 degrees. I used flax, avocado and salt. Hopefully it turns out! I am worried that they are going to stick to the pan. Anyone tried this? I made pesto stuffed mushrooms in the oven a couple times and they turned out GREAT!

Cassidy,

Does your oven have settings for below 115 degrees? If so, I'd get an oven thermometer and make sure it's accurate. If not, I'm not sure how you'd go about doing it unless you put it on broil, left the door open, and consistently monitored the temperature.

Hey - they turned out GREAT! I have a thermometer inside I put inside the oven. I kept it around or below 120. I checked it constantly - it was a little more work than I'd like to admit... but it was worth it. They are really tasty!
Raw nut - why broil? I put it at 200 and left the door open

Please tell me the ingredients and i will make them in my oven.
I'm glad they turned out great.

1/2 avocado
1 cup ground flax seeds
salt to taste

mix it up in a bowl with a little water to fascitate mixing. mix well and spoon onto the baking sheet. smooth them out as thin as you can in about 6in' circles. bake as I mentioned above! mmm... really good ( not as much by themselves as they are with lettuce, avo, tomato, ... whatever burrito ingredients you want!) I think they would be a good dipper for guacamole and salsa too! Have fun!

:) :) they sound yummy.
How long did you have them in the oven? I will try and make them tonight.

I did three hours - the recipe said 2 -3 hrs then flip and do another 3 hrs. I think my oven temp was about 115 - 120 so they might have "cooked" a bit faster. I just kept testing them. They might have been even better if I would have done the full time. Let me know how yours turn out!

You little stinker! LOL! You edited your post and made me look like an even bigger idiot than I already am.

I guess I said to broil because the only time I had cooked animals with the oven door open, was when I broiled them.
