Helpful Tips for Drying

It is recommended to check your food every hour during dehydrating. Some fruits such as apples, pears and apricots need to be pre-treated before drying to slow the loss of vitamins, pre-treated also prevents loss of color and flavor during drying. Always thoroughly wash food to ensure it does not contain dirt, bacteria and other harmful substances. Correct food storage after drying will help to keep food in good quality and save the nutrients.

Drying time for pre-treated food may vary due to the following factors:

• Thickness of pieces or slices.
• Number of trays with food being dried.
• Volume of food being dried.
• Humidity in the environment.
• Moisture in the food.
• Your preferences of drying for each type of dried food.

Helpful Tips for Food Storage

• Store the food only after it completely cooled down.
• Food can be kept longer if stored in a cool, dry and dark place.
• Store your food in a clean, dry and airtight container and close tightly to keep the dried food from dehydrating. Never store food directly in a metal container.
• The best temperature for store the dried food is 60° F or lower.
• Check the dried food frequently to ensure quality. If the dried food getting soft, you should dehydrate it again to avoid spoiling.
• To keep the best quality, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts, bread should not be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for more than 1 year. Dried meats, poultry and fish should not be stored in the refrigerator for any more than 3 months, or in the freezer for more than 1 year.
