Dehydrate Tips and Techniques

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