TIPS & TRICKS
1 Use a kitchen mandolin slicer to slice fruits and vegetables to a consistent, thin size.
2 In most cases, fruits and vegetables should be sliced as thin as possible without
falling apart.
3 Some fruits, like apples and pears, will oxidize and should be soaked for 5 minutes
in water with a squeeze of lemon juice. This will help them retain their colour while
they dehydrate.
4 Fruits and vegetables should be patted as dry as possible before being loaded into
the pan.
5 Lay raw food flat on bottom of pan and crisper plate. Food should be placed close
together to optimise space but individual pieces should not overlap or be stacked.
6 Most fruits and vegetables take between 6 and 8 hours (at 60°C) to dehydrate.
When trying a new food, start checking crispiness at 6 hours and monitor
until it is dried to your liking.
7 To maximize longevity, store dehydrated food at room temperature in an airtight
container for up to 2 weeks.
8 When dehydrating meats and fish, it is recommended to Roast at 160°C for
1 minute as a final step in order to fully pasteurize the food.
9 For jerky, the longer you dehydrate it, the crispier it will be.
