Dehydrating guide
WARNING!
• It is recommended that meat
and poultry is dehydrated
at a temperature of at least
75°C, or alternatively the
meat should be preheated
to at least 75 °C to guard
against pathogens.
• Fish should be steamed or
baked to at least 93°C until
flaky before dehydrating at
a temperature of least 75°C.
Choosing Food to Dehydrate
• For best results only use highest quality foods.
• Produce in peak season has more flavour and
more nutrients.
• Meats, fish and poultry should be lean and
fresh.
• Do not use food with bruises and blemishes.
Bad produce can spoil the entire batch.
• Remove as much fat as possible from meats
prior to dehydrating. You can use a paper
towel under meat when dehydrating to absorb
fat.
Tips for Pre-Treatment of Foods
With most types of cooking, preparation is
important for the best results. Foods that are
prepared correctly prior to dehydration will taste
better and have a better appearance.
• Cut, shred or dice the food uniformly. Slices
should be between 6mm and 20mm thick.
Meats should not be thicker than 5mm.
• To avoid browning of fruits soak cut fruit in
lemon or pineapple juice for 2-3 minutes,
then place in the dehydrator. Alternatively
soak in an ascorbic acid solution (made as per
manufacturers instruction) for 2-3 minutes,
then place in the dehydrator.
• Waxy fruits, (such as peaches, grapes,
blueberries, etc.) should be dipped in boiling
water to remove the wax. This allows moisture
to escape easily during dehydration.
• Blanching can also be used to pre-treat foods
for dehydration.
Dehydrating Tips
• Do not overlap foods. Make sure foods are flat
when placing on dehydrating trays. Overlapped
foods can greatly increase drying time.
• Make sure foods are completely dry before
removing. If you are not sure, cut a sample
down the middle to check for internal dryness.
• Make sure to label containers when you store
your dehydrated food.
• Proper storage helps maintain quality food.
Package the food when cool. Foods can be
kept longer if stored in a cool, dark and dry
place. The ideal storage temperature is 15°C or
lower.
• Place dehydrated foods in plastic freezer bags
before storing in metal or glass containers.
Remove as much air as possible before sealing.
• Vacuum sealing is the best way to keep
dehydrated foods.
• Food will shrink approximately ¼ to ½ their
original size and weight during dehydration.
Make sure not to cut pieces of food to be
dehydrated too small.
