Added "fan on"

Thanks to your excellent feedback, I'll do this:

 

Cut peaches into eighths, drop into aciduated water, no need to dry, but when I take them out of the water I will put them on a towel to mop up excess moisture.  Place on silpats and perforated pan, leaving a bit of space in between them.  Dehydrate at 105F (fan on) for maybe 3 1/2 hours.  Freeze on trays then vac pack.  

 

Questions:

Is cutting them into quarters instead of eighths a bad idea?  If okay, does this double the dehydration time?  Or even longer?

Do I still need to have the oven door open a crack?  Wouldn't that significantly hinder the dehydrating process?

 

I'm really excited to try this.
