Drying/dehydrating
Dehydrating is a traditional method of
preserving fruit, certain vegetables and
herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dehydrated.
Prepare the food for drying.
– Peel and core apples, and cut into
slices ¼"/0.5 cm thick.
– Stone plums, if necessary.
– Peel, core and cut pears into wedges.
– Peel and slice bananas.
– Clean mushrooms, then either halve
or slice them.
– Remove parsley and dill from the
stem.
Distribute the food evenly over the
universal tray.
You can also use the Gourmet
perforated baking tray, if you have
one.
Select Convection Bake or
Surround .
Select a temperature of
175-210 °F/80–100 °C.
Place the universal tray on shelf
level 2.
