Drying
Your appliance features the heating type "Drying", using
which you can dry fruit, vegetables and herbs with
outstanding results. With this type of preserving,
flavourings are concentrated by the dehydration.
Only use unblemished fruit, vegetables and herbs and
wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with
greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the
excess water from the fruit and dry it.
If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices.
Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced
surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor
mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.
Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Allow the
blanched vegetables to drain off and distribute them
evenly on the wire rack.
Dry herbs on the stem. Position the herbs evenly and
slightly heaped on the wire rack.
Use the following shelf positions for drying:
■
1 wire rack: Level 3
■
2 wire racks: Level 3+1
■
3 wire racks: Level 5+3+1
■
4 wire racks: Level 5+3+2+1
Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After
drying, remove the dried products from the paper
immediately.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find settings for drying various
foodstuffs. The temperature and cooking time are
dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and
thickness of the food to be dried. The longer you leave
the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The
thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process
will be and the more aromatic the dried food will
remain. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason.
If you wish to dry additional foodstuffs, you should use
similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.
