Preprocessing of vegetables
• Pretreat the vegetables to avoid flavor change in
course of dehydration.
• You can either steam or microwave the vegetables,
these pretreatments are more preferable than
scolding.
• When using the food steamer, place the vegetables
on the upper tray of the steamer, heat them for 2-3
minutes, and put the vegetables onto the grids (2).
• Put the vegetables into a microwave-ready container,
add some water. Cover the container with the lid and
put it into a microwave oven. Set the operation time
to the «quarter» of the boiling time for vegetables
specified in your microwave oven manual. Place the
pretreated vegetables onto the grids (2).
• You can place the cut vegetables into boiling water
for 2-4 minutes, remove them and put back onto the
grids (2).
