Notes

If using foil lined pans, don't cut the cucumbers too thin and be sure to flip half-way so they can be removed easier.
To remove excess moisture, you just need to use a paper towel to blot them dry. Another way to get the water out of them is to sprinkle them with salt and then set them on a colander. The salt will dry them out and the water will drip out of them.
Store them just like you would potato chips. Keep them in a sealed container at room temperature. There is no need to refrigerate them.
