Dehydrate Tips and Techniques
x
Dehydrating can be done using the Dehydrate mode. A lower temperature is used and the circulating
heated air slowly removes the moisture for food preservation.
x
The Dehydrate mode temperature is pre-programmed at 140ºF (60ºC).
x
The Dehydrate mode temperatures available are 120ºF (50ºC) to 160ºF (70ºC).
x
Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
x
Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.
x
Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of various foods.
x
This mode is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.
x
Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.
x
By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before dehydrating begins (such as with
sliced tomatoes or sliced peaches).
