Can you stagger your dehyrating batches of foods?

Hmm... I am new to dehydrating foods...(and posting on forums too...so I hope I do this correctly!! :-) and was wondering...can one stagger the batches to be dehydrated....that is to say, can I put in a batch of soaked almonds to be hydrated in the morning...and in the afternoon, add a batch of freshly sliced lemons which also need dehydrating? Having a busy lifestyle (who doesn't these days!!), I can't get to the nine trays all at once....

Would the fresh lemons have a negative impact on the almonds which have already been dehydrating for several hours??

Appreciate any help I can get!!

Thanks!!

  • Thank you camiheartsraw for your comments...I will make sure I don't put "stinky" onions in with Kiwi!! And thank you sv3 for your advice re staggering the food.....I was worried that the moisture from the newly place food might have an adverse effect on the tray that had been drying for a few hours already!! I am glad to know that you have been successful....

    I am enjoying the dehydrator...but one REALLY needs to plan things out....and think about when things will be ready to be taken out....Being a newbie...I am sort of guessing...and I rush home from my activities panicking that the food is going to be over dehydrated!! (Often to find it needs to be in much longer!!)....Like everything...I guess I just need practice!!
