Herbs, flowers, spices
–
Practically all herbs are suitable for drying. Dry
leaves and flower together with stems, separate
them from stems after drying.
–
Make sure that the herbs are well-dried, otherwise
they start to rot.
–
You can use dried flowers for making fragrant
sachets.
drying of meat and fish
–
You can dry raw and cooked meat or fish. Proper
cooking of meat or fish before drying kills danger-
ous bacteria. You can use dried meat and fish for
making stews, paste for sandwiches, soups. Due to
their light weight you can take dried meat and fish
when you go hiking. You can restore dried meat and
fish soaking it in water or broth for 1 hour.
–
Dry lean meat without fat (for instance, beef or poul-
try meat) and only fresh fish.
–
Keep fish and meat in the marinade or boil before
cooking.
