Add extra Trays
If you are enjoying your dried foods why not add extra trays to increase
the drying potential of your new Food Dehydrator. Luvelo offers packs of
three spare trays. The Luvelo
express
Food dehydrator can be stacked to fifteen
trays. Drying more food in one batch is an efficient, power saving way to enjoy
more dried foods more often.
Non-stick Mesh Liner
Luvelo non stick mesh liners are used to prevent foods with high
sugar content, such as bananas, tomatoes and watermelon, from
sticking to the drying trays. Without this mesh liner sticky foods can be
difficult and frustrating to peel or scrape off the trays. The mesh liners also help
prevent small pieces of food, like herbs, from falling through the trays. Lastly,
they minimize liquid or juice from dripping down from one tray onto another.
The mesh liners are non-stick, easy to clean, heat-resisting, reusable and they
carry SGS (Global) and FDA (USA) food safety approvals. They are available in
packs of three.
Fruit Roll-up Sheet
The Luvelo fruit roll-up sheet is a plastic liner that fits inside a dehydrator tray.
They are used for foods that are high in liquid content which cannot be dehydrated
directly on the drying tray or mesh liner because they would drip through. The
roll-up sheet provide a way to make fruit roll-ups like you buy at the supermarket
out of just about any fruit combination imaginable. They can also be used to dry
crackers, thick or pureed foods such as applesauce, spaghetti sauce, yoghurt,
soups, stew, refried beans and pea soup. They are available in packs of three.
Meat Jerky Gun
The Luvelo Jerky Gun allows you to make great tasting jerky in your own home.
You can make perfect jerky sticks or strips, with ease every time, using the Luvelo
Jerky Gun.

Preparation
Wash fruit and dry with paper towels. Remove any blemishes, pips and stones,
then slice evenly. Pre-treat where recommended. Read following table for further
information.
Pre-Treatment
The pre-treatment of fruit is recommended to help slow down browning while the
fruit is drying. We recommended you use a natural pre-treatment solution of
pineapple or lemon juice. Soak prepared, sliced fruit for 1-2 minutes in the juice
before placing on drying racks.
Blanching
Some fruits with natural protective wax coatings e.g. figs, grapes and prunes, need
to be blanched to speed the drying process. To blanch place whole fruits in boiling
water for 1 - 2 minutes. Then plunge into ice cold water, slice and commence
drying.
