DEHYDRATE TIPS
The circulating heated air at a lower temperature slowly removes the moisture for
food preservation.
•
Oven temperature for dehydrating is between 120ºF (50ºC) to 160ºF (70ºC).
•
Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
•
Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.
•
Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of various
foods.
•
Dehydrating is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.
•
Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.
•
By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before dehydrating
begins (such as with sliced tomatoes or sliced peaches).
