Can I use my oven instead of a dehydrator?

Absolutely, Set your oven to its lowest temperature (usually around 170°F), prop the door open slightly with a wooden spoon, and bake for 2-3 hours. Just check them often - ovens can be unpredictable.

How do I know if they've gone bad?

If they lose their snap and get bendy or develop any fuzz, toss 'em. But stored properly, they'll stay crisp for months.

Can I use other citrus fruits?

Oh honey, the world's your oyster. Oranges, grapefruits, even kumquats work beautifully. Just adjust drying times for thicker peels.

Do I need to peel them first?

Nope, The skin holds all those gorgeous citrus oils that make your drinks pop. Just wash thoroughly and slice away.
