USEFUL TIPS
General rules
! Dehydrating time will vary depending on what
is to be dehydrated, how big and how thick the
pieces are, their water content, how much you
place in the individual trays, on the tempera-
ture and the humidity of the air in the room
where appliance is used.
! To find out whether fruits are properly dry, allow a few pieces
to cool off. They should bend easily, without breaking. Or cut
a piece: no water droplets should form on the cut surfaces.
Adequately dehydrated vegetables and herbs feel “hard”,
they should break when bent.
! Do not pulverize herbs before dehydrating.
! It is better to cut vegetables into pieces.
Note: Firm vegetable types should be blanched until semi-
soft before dehydrating. This procedure shortens
dehydrating times and prevents excessive vitamin loss.
Note: To ensure that fruits and mushrooms retain their
natural colour and do not turn a shade of brown,
sprinkle a small amount of lemon juice cover the pro-
duce before dehydrating. For produce that will first be
blanched, add little lemon juice to the blanching water.
Note: Peeling means losing some of the valuable vitamins
and mineral salts. Unpeeled produce requires slightly
