Dehydrate Mode
A NEW TAKE ON PANTRY STAPLES
Delicious, nutritious snacks are something we all look for these days. But the
ones found in stores—even the “healthy foods” stores—may be both expensive
and loaded with extra sugar and preservatives. Many of our Wolf owners are
discovering the pleasures of making their own dried fruit or meat snacks using
Dehydrate Mode. Circulating heat from the convection fans warms the oven
between 110°F and 160°F, providing the proper drying atmosphere. Just cut up
the food you would like to dry—apples and pears, fl ank steak for beef jerky, fresh
herbs—and lay it over the dehydration racks from the dehydration kit accessory.
It usually takes about 10 hours to dry fruit and 4 to 15 hours for meat, depending
on thickness. As some foods require more time to fully dehydrate, this mode
overrides the 12-hour shut-o safety feature.

The dry atmosphere created in Dehydrate Mode will preserve fried food’s crispness until
you are ready to serve. Say goodbye to soggy fried chicken and limp appetizers.
Quick tip: Keep fried foods warm and crisp
Dried Fruit
As a stand-alone snack or a topping for yogurt parfaits, homemade dried fruit is as enjoyable
(and simple) to make as it is to eat.
