Can you only do on convection? Air fryer?
Hello! You can do it with regular baking, but it might take slightly longer to dehydrate. I don’t think an air fryer would be best becasue the airflow would start picking up the strawberries.
How long can you keep the powder for? Thanks!
Hi Mary! As long as it’s in an airtight container in the freezer, can last a long time!
