dehydrate
For best results when dehydrating food use the Air
Fry tray which allows air to circulate all around the
food for faster preservation .
tips
• Always use clean equipment and utensils .
• Keep meat and poultry refrigerated -- 40°F
(4°C) or slightly below -- before dehydrating .
• Cut food in evenly sized pieces . Slices should
be even and ¼ to ½ inch thick . This will ensure
all pieces are dehydrated at same time .
• Use good quality fruits, vegetables, and meats .
Overripe or bruised fruits and vegetables may
turn black while dehydrating .
• Use lean cuts of meat or trim off excess fat .
• Use a paper towel to dry meat before dehydrat-
ing .
• Store dehydrated foods in airtight containers .
If moisture appears in containers, the food was
not dehydrated properly .

ing .
