Dehydration & Nuts
Tips for Dehydrating
Note: Use pan on 3-inch rack and cook
at 350 degrees.
Pecan or almond pieces, 3-4 minutes.
Coconut unsweetened and shredded,
1-2 minutes.
Whole nuts can be roasted on two
layers: For example, start one layer on
liner pan for 6 minutes and then place
another pan, filled with nuts, on 3-inch
rack and continue for another 5 minutes.
This doubles capacity!
Alternate all foods when dehydrating.
Non-stick cooking spray will help avoid
sticking. When dehydrating, keep dome
open slightly to let moisture escape. Do
not let dome stay on when oven is off as
this will cause moisture build-up.
If using dehydrating kit, no need for non-
stick cooking spray. You will use same
times and temperatures, but will triple
amount prepared. Store all dehydrated
foods in air-tight container in cool pantry.
Dehydrating Fruits
Please keep in mind that fruits should be
washed (minus bananas) and patted dry.
Rub fresh lemon over apples to avoid
browning. Alternate fruits from racks.
