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.
• Use good quality fruits, vegetables, and meats.
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.
• Store dehydrated foods in airtight containers. If
moisture appears in containers, the food was not
dehydrated properly.
• Follow USDA recommendation when dehydrat-
ing.
To set Dehydrate:
• Arrange food in a single layer on the Air Fry tray.

-170°F).
