Dehydrating Tips
Equipment Recommended:
• Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½ inch rim all the
way around
•
Baking rack that fits inside the half sheet pan
• Cheesecloth
• 4 quart sauce pot with lid
•
Steamer basket that fits inside four quart saucepan.
One that is perforated and opens up will work well.
• Slotted spoon
• Paper towels
• A sharp knife
When you dehydrate...
1. Wash and remove excess moisture from all fruits and
vegetables before dehydrating.
2. Cut fruits and vegetables into uniform pieces.
3. You can add honey, spices, lime juice or orange juice
to give the fruit a different flavor.
4. It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan
underneath to catch any juices. If the fruit is small,
use cheesecloth over the rack. If you use a rack, it
will allow for maximum air circulation around the fruit.
The cheesecloth will prevent the fruit from sticking to
the rack.
5. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack.
