What a nice present. Never done cukes, but I'm wondering how well they'd really do. I know I did watermelon 1x, but never again. W/the high water content, it just didn't really do well in the dehydrator, and I'm thinking cukes might be the same.
What kind of dehydrator did you get? I have never done cuke chips, but would be interested in trying them, if and when I ever get cukes I have cleared quite a bit of space in my freezer by dehydrating things I normally froze. Have fun experimenting with it!
