USING SILICONE MATS OR BAKING PAPER
For foodstuffs which are damp or stick easily (e.g. tomatoes) we recommend that
you use a silicone mat or baking paper. Put the silicone mat or the baking paper
on the tray.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the baking paper does not cover the entire space of the tray. It
should be easy for the warm air to pass through.
Put the silicone mat or the baking paper on the tray. At mid-term of the dehydrat-
ing time, the silicone mat or the baking paper can be removed.
STORING FOODSTUFFS
Before you stow the dried foodstuffs in a vessel, make sure that the foodstuffs are
really dry. Moist foodstuffs easily get mouldy. Dispose of mouldy foodstuffs im-
mediately. For storing foodstuffs use clean, dry vessels that can be closed airtight,
if possible. Do not fill the dried foodstuffs into the vessel until they have cooled
down.
PREPARING FOODSTUFFS
Thefollowing tables contain guideline values for the preparation of various fruits,
vegetables and meat. The drying times depend on the ambient temperature, the
relative air humidity and the moisture content of the foodstuff to be dried. When
the moisture content is low, the drying time is at the lower end of the range. When
the moisture content is high, however, the drying time is at the upper end of the
range.
Please bear in mind that the drying times are also influenced by the number of
foodstuffs on the trays. When drying foodstuffs, it is important to check the dry-
ness of the product. When the product has not thoroughly dried, mould can form
during storage (see food storage). In order to check the dryness, remove a slice of
the foodstuff from the dehydrator and let it cool down to ambient temperature.
Bend and divide the slice in order to test it for interior moisture.
