How to Use the Nonstick Mesh Screens

The flexible mesh screen fit into the dehydrator trays to keep foods that get very small

when dried,such as herbs,berries,and carrots,from falling through the tray grates. The

screens may also be used when drying foods that stick the grates,such as bananas

and tomatoes. Position the mesh screen on the dehydrator tray. Then place the food

you want to dry on the mesh screen. Once the food is dehydrated, lift the mesh screen

out of the tray,using the cutouts on the side of screen. Remove food. Bending the

screen is helpful for removing foods that have a tendency to stick.

How to Use the Fuit Roll Sheets

A fruit roll sheet should be used when making fruit rolls and strips from fresh,frozen, or

canned fruit. Refer to page 5 for instructions on making fruit rolls.

General Dehydrating Information

Safety precaution:Wash hands thoroughly prior to preparing food for

dehydrating.Likewise, thoroughly clean all utensils, cutting boards,and counters that

be used for preparing food. Wash food before preparing them for dehydrating.

.When selecting food for drying, choose those that are at peak eating quality. Avoid

overripe* or immature fruits and vegetables. Remove any parts of the food that are

bruised or blemished.

.For even drying, cut food into uniform size,shapes, and thickness.

Drying time are highly variable depending on the type and amount of

food,thickness,evenness of food pieces,humidity,air temperature,personal preference,

and even the age of the plant at the time of harvesting. That is why throughout the

book you will notice there is a range of average drying times. In some cases you may

find you may need to, or prefer to, dry you foods for shorter or longer periods than

those listed. For best results, begin checking your food at the beginning of the range

listed in the instructions. You should then gauge how often you should recheck the

food based on how the drying is progressing. With some foods,such as herbs, that

may mean every 10 minutes, and with other foods, such as fruits,that may mean

every 1-2 hours.

.Dehydration prevents microbial growth, however,chemical reaction caused by

enzymes in fruits and vegetables can occur unless the product is pretreated before

drying.. Pretreatment will prevent or minimize undesirable color and texture changes

during drying and storage. See specific sections for recommend pretreatment.

.Place food in a single layer on the trays. Do not allow food to touch or overlap.

.When drying the strong-smelling foods,such as onions and garlic, be aware that there

will be a strong odor during the drying process. That odor may linger after drying has

been complete.

. Individual pieces of food may not all dry at the same time. Foods that are

appropriately dried should be removed before those that still require additional drying.

Always check all of the trays for food that are appropriately dried.

.If one tray of food is finished before the others, remove the dried food and return the

empty tray to the unit rather than rearranging the trays.

.Do not add fresh fruits and vegetables to a partially dried load. This will add moisture

and increase the drying time.

.Allow for continuous drying. Do not unplug the dehydrator in the middle of the drying

circle and resume drying at a later time as this may result in poor quality and /or

unsafe food.
