INTRODUCTION

Drying food for preservation dates back to the Ancient Egyptians. The 

Spaniards were the first explorers known to use dehydration to prep food 

for their expeditions. This method was used extensively in the days of 

the Lewis and Clark expeditions as they charted to the expanse of the 

Louisiana Land Purchase. Buffalo, elk and deer were plentiful, but their 

success relied heavily upon the proper use of this preserving method. 

The information in this manual is intended to help you get the best results 

for this equipment. Please read this booklet carefully and contact STX 

International if you have any questions. 

DEHYDRATION

There are no exact rules that apply to food dehydration. Results can 

be affected by room temperature, relative humidity and moisture levels 

in the food you are drying. To become proficient, it will be necessary to 

experiment with your drying techniques. Too much heat, your food may 

harden on the outside while still being moist inside. Too little heat, your 

drying times will be very long with lackluster results. With a little practice 

you will be able to create tasty, ready to eat snacks in no time.
