  • Page 6: Filling The Drying Trays

    PARTS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The skin of many foods naturally protects the food but it can hamper the dehydration process. During dehydration, moisture escapes best from a cut or broken surface not through the tough skin. Therefore, the larger the cut area, the faster and better the food will dehydrate. For this reason thin stalked vegetables like green beans, asparagus, and rhubarb should be cut in half the long way, or with an extreme diagonal cut to expose as much of the inner parts of the food as possible.
  • Page 7 RECONSTITUTION Dehydration is the process of removing moisture from food. Reconstitution is the replacement of that moisture to bring the food back to its natural states. Although some dried foods such as fruit are excellent in their dehydrated state, you will often want to reconstitute other dried foods before eating them.
