  1. When I can spaghetti sauce or whatever and I dip the tomatoes in hot water and then cold water to remove the skins, I then pat the skins as dry as I can on paper towels and spread the skins in the dehydrator dehydrator. After they are very dry/brittle, I give them a whirl in the spice/coffee grinder and I have my own tomato powder from what I used to throw away. Just a little FYI
