we have a lot of squash ,so we made some veggie chips for my daughter,she liked them! While I was in the basement I took a pic of the wall to keep it on topic,,,,

Good idea!

If the table is metal, I"ve got one just like it.

How long does it take to dry down a batch? Does the dried product need to be refrigerated for storage?

If the weather there is anything like here, set them outside on an old screen door and they will be done in about twenty minutes.

Looks like it did a nice job.

Curious, do you season these and eat zucchini chips... or will they be used in soups and other hot dishes?

we seasoned them and made chips

Actual time depends on a few things but figure 1/4" slices between 10-14 hours. No need to refrigerate, but they must be crisp, not soft like apple slices. We season before dehydrating. We put ours in jars (large 1/2 gallon size). But a large zip lock works just as good. We usually have one out where we can get to it. The rest are in long term dark storage to prevent discoloration.

We have two 9 tray Excalibur’s, it doesn't take much to fill them (a dozen good size squash). However if you get them smaller the seeds are not so prevalent. Most of the time we peel for chips and leave skin on for soup stock. But there is no reason to not experiment.......
