Want to dry foods but don't want to buy a dehydrator. I heard you can do it in an over any thoughts out there

Yep, It's doable in an oven but not as easy. Most ovens can't get low enough temps.

This and most ovens don't have fans (unless you have a convection oven). Having a fan speeds things up by getting the moist air away from the food. I have a $30 dehydrator and it works fine. It takes longer than the nicer ones but it gets the job done.
