Dehydrate
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit, certain
vegetables, and herbs.
It is important to check that fruit and
vegetables are fresh, ripe and
unbruised before they are dehydrated.
Prepare the food for drying by cutting
it up, and peeling and coring it if
necessary.
Depending on how big it is, distribute
the food for drying as evenly as
possible over the rack or universal
tray in a single layer.
Tip:
You can also use the perforated
Gourmet Baking Tray, if you have one.
Dry on a maximum of 2 levels at the
same time.
Place the food for drying on shelf
levels 1+3.
If using the rack and universal tray,
place the universal tray below the
rack.
