Here is the thing. If your neighbor offers to lend you a food dehydrator, your kids will recognize it immediately. “Oh!” they will say. “That’s the thing you use for drying placentas!”
And then you will have to decide whether to quick explain that we ourselves have, in fact, never used a dehydrator for anything, including but not limited to placentas–though we have seen it done–and we promise not to dehydrate placenta or any other organ in yours, we were just going to make banana chips, thanks for offering to let us borrow it to try it out, mm-hmm, yes.
What I am saying is: if you are going to borrow kitchen appliances, first make sure your neighbors are exactly as weird as you are.
Or else make sure that they want to know all about placenta encapsulation. Because two years later, my kids are still happy to describe the process, and it does involve a dehydrator.
On second thought, this might be advice that applies to no one but me.

Note: the fact that we do not own any electronic noise-amplifying devices (guitar amp, microphone, foghorn)? Totally not accidental. Just in case you were wondering.
