DRYER
The dryer (icon
) allows the dehydration of fruit, vegetables and mushrooms,
without starting a real cooking process: this allows you to extend the shelf life of these
foods, without compromising the organoleptic properties, as happens with the
refrigeration or freezing. The drying program may, in some cases, also constitute a
program suitable for cooking and preparing, for example, sun-dried tomatoes, energy
bars, salt substitutes, raisins, etc.
Once the program has been selected with the START button, as described above, the
only changeable parameter is the duration of the treatment, depending on the nature
and quantity of the food; by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons, it is possible to
increase or decrease it within the limits shown in the previous list, until the correct
time is reached. Press the START button to start the drying process, press the STOP
