dehydrate
For best results when dehydrating food use the Air
Fry tray which allows air to circulate all around the
food for faster preservation .
tips

Always use clean equipment and utensils .
•
Keep meat and poultry refrigerated -- 40°F
(4°C) or slightly below -- before dehydrating .
•
Cut food in evenly sized pieces . Slices should
be even and ¼ to ½ inch thick . This will ensure
all pieces are dehydrated at same time .

Overripe or bruised fruits and vegetables may
turn black while dehydrating .
•
Use lean cuts of meat or trim off excess fat .

Use a paper towel to dry meat before dehydrat-
ing .
