Drying Vegetables
Dry vegetables at 125
℉
or 50
℃
. Vegetables dry much faster than fruits. At the end of
the drying period moisture loss is rapid. As a result, vegetables need to be checked
often towards the ends of the end of the drying time to prevent over-drying. Food turns
brown when it is over-dried. When drying smaller vegetables, such as peas or carrots,
it is recommended that you place them on a mesh screen on the tray. A mesh screen
will help prevent smaller foods from falling through the grates in the tray as they
dehydrate. See information on page 3, “How to Use the Nonstick Mesh Screens.”
