I just purchased a dehydrator and have been successful with the few items I have dehydrated except bananas. This is the 2nd time and each time, they never got to the "chip" consistency. The first time, I did nothing special to them except slice and dehydrate, 2nd time, I used a preservative and still after 13 hrs, they have never gotten to that "chip" consistency. What am I doing wrong? I have dehydrated at 135 and 145 degrees and still did not get there. Anyone have suggestions? I would very much appreciate as I love banana chips.

Dehydrating will never make the bananas crisp. The crisp ones found in stores have been fried. Sorry, I was disappointed too.
I love dehydrated bananas in a bowl of cooked old fashion oatmeal. They don't get crisp but you do want them to be dry. Store them in a zip lock freezer bag. They don't last long with me because I eat a lot of bananas.
