Drying
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit, certain ve-
getables and herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.
Prepare the food for drying by cutting
it up, and peeling and coring it if ne-
cessary.
Distribute the food for drying evenly in
a single layer according to size over
the wire rack or the glass tray.
Dry on a maximum of 2 levels at the
same time.
Place the food for drying on shelf
levels 1+2.
If you are using both the wire rack and
glass tray, insert the glass tray below
the wire rack.
