Dried tomatoes (tomato chips)

Svetlana, what a beauty!
But I was late with my dryer. She will arrive on Tuesday, but the tomatoes are no longer beautiful
Today I bought 5 kg of field, barely chose. I'll do it for trial. Somehow it got colder this year, for a couple of nights everything froze out.

Irishka, don't be upset. You still have time to enjoy your dryer, in it you can dry so many useful things, and not only tomatoes. There are still berries ahead. Now comes the rose hip, followed by the turn. And then the girls here will teach a bunch of cool things to do)))

how rich you are! Such supplies in the winter!

Thank you, Tanyushka, this year I am really on fire))) These are far from all tomatoes))) And much more berry chips and dried fruits ... We even took our dryer on vacation so as not to miss strawberries, cherries and first peaches.

Oh girls! I don't know how you manage to dry such beauty? My tomatoes, while only 6 hours dry, and the top tray is almost empty
Oh, this is not a profitable business, my heart feels!

Oh, this is not a profitable business, my heart feels!

So, we have warned everyone about this for a long time. But, delicious!

But there are also pluses! Apparently I won't have to bother with storage!
I'm like Winnie the Pooh with honey! Drying, dry, not yet finished drying, but already devoured a whole tray

Here, took off

What neat round pieces turned out Therefore, they themselves ask for

They will definitely not survive until winter, because they themselves fly into the mouth
Girls, did anyone dry the bitter pepper? I was treated here, a lot. I want to dry, but doubts plagued! Tomatoes smell cool, but what about hot pepper? Will we not get stung?

I also dried tomatoes tomorrow I will mix with basil ...

They look good, the color is bright, juicy!

Of course, I just saw the topic, but I came to my "crackers" empirically ... at first I wanted to make sun-dried tomatoes, but I got distracted and they turned out to be almost dried, that is, normally dried (bent, without juice and not yet brittle), but further I began to dry mostly only grape tomatoes until crispy croutons, so they became a real hit!

I dried the first lots either with herbs or with garlic, now I dry it in its pure form, I just cut it in halves, put it on the dryer, turn on the maximum (I have a Veterok2 dryer, it's 70⁰C) In general, all small tomatoes not eaten fresh are sent to the dryer ... I won't even say how many buckets of tomatoes were dried, but out of 10 liters of the finished product, only 1.5 are left today

Tanyusha, well you eat tomatoes, at an accelerated pace To your health!

Of course, we didn’t eat everything alone, we spent a lot on treats, but thanks to the tomatoes dried in different ways, I don’t buy tomato paste for a year now, I manage with my own supplies

Girls, tell me, if you dry tomatoes in slices, cut across, a lot of juice comes out of them, will I fill the dryer?

Tomato slices will dry for a very long time, especially if they are juicy.
It is better to pick tomatoes where there is little juice.

Take a look at these whole tomato recipes:

Sun-dried tomatoes (raw method) (Admin)

Sun-dried tomatoes, sweet and sour with soy sauce (Admin)

Admin, thanks! I just looked at everyone in the photographs with tomatoes cut into circles, so I thought if I could fill the dryer with juice

And if you dry tomatoes in slices, cut across, a lot of juice comes out of them, will I fill the dryer?

I cut off the end of the tomato from the side of the stalk, squeeze the tomato, squeezing out the juice. And then I cut the tomatoes as I want - and far and wide.
Such squeezed juice with pulp is collected - also a good product, especially if homemade tomatoes are a delicious juice.

Tomatoes come in different varieties, some for juice, others for canning, for drying and drying, you need to take fleshy varieties (American long-fruited, fun, pepper-shaped, cream in the end). There are varieties where there are no more than 6-10 seeds for the whole tomato, and accordingly there is no large amount of liquid around the seeds.

It is better to pick tomatoes where there is little juice.

everyone in the photos has tomatoes cut into slices

In circles and segments, slices are different cuts. In this recipe topic, I just cut the tomatoes into circles.
Always carefully read the text of the recipe, the description of the process and look at the photo, and the meaning of the recipe will be clear

For such drying with chips, it is better to use strong red tomatoes, which have dense flesh and little juice, then when cutting it will stand out a little - see my photo

We cut tomatoes in a vegetable cutter in even circles. I do not recommend cutting thinly at all, they will dry out and stick to the mesh tightly. I use a Berner grater, manual cutting of tomatoes is better, keeps the integrity of tomatoes and less traumatic for tomatoes, less juice production.

Tatyana, another thanks! Super tomatoes turned out, dried in a stalk.

Tanyusha, and you will have tomato happiness in the middle of a cold winter
