ENGLISH          

– 

Remove the fruits stalks.

– 

Cut the vegetables or fruits in slices or cubes.

– 

Berries or grapes should be dried whole.

– 

Dry the greens or spice herbs whole with stems.

– 

If you want to improve the taste and prolong the 
storage  life  of  the  products,  preprocess  them. 
This is not obligatory. 

– 

Try  drying  preprocessed  products  and  not 
processed  products  and  decide  which  way  of 
cooking suits you better.

Preprocessing of fruits

– 

You can use pine apple, lemon, orange or lime 
juice  to  keep  natural  color  of  fruits.  Dip  the 
fruits  pieces  into  the  juice  for  2  minutes,  then 
let  them  dry  and  put  them  on  the  trays  for 
dehydration  (4). 

– 

Use natural juice made of the same type of fruits 
that are intended for drying (for instance, apple 
juice for apples) to enhance the natural taste of 
fruits. Dilute 1/4 glass of juice with two glasses of 
water; soak the fruits in the solution for 2 hours.

– 

Some fruits are covered with layer of natural wax 
(dates, grapes, cranberry, plums etc.). To remove 
the wax and speed up the drying of products put 
them into boiling water for 1-2 minutes. 

Preprocessing of vegetables

Preprocessing  of  vegetables  destroys  ferments 
that cause the change of taste of products during 
the storage. 
Steam  treatment  or  microwave  oven  treatment  of 
vegetables is more preferable than boiling water.

– 

Put the vegetables on the upper tray of a food 
steamer  and  warm  them  up  for  2-3  minutes. 
Right after that put vegetables on the trays (4).

– 

Put  the  vegetables  into  the  container  suitable 
for microwave oven, add some water. Cover the 
container with a lid and put it into a microwave 
oven. Set the time which makes 1/4 of the time 
of  cooking,  specified  in  the  instruction  manual 
for your microwave oven. Put ready vegetables 
on the trays (4).

– 

Put the pieces of vegetables into boiling water 
for 3-4 minutes, dry them with paper towel and 
then put on the trays for dehydration (4).

DEHYDRATION TIME 

The time of dehydration for every ingredient is set 
individually and depends on the quality and size of 
the  used  food  products,  temperature  and  relative 
humidity of the room. 
After  learning  the  food  dehydrator  better,  you  will 
be  able  to  set  the  desired  time  of  dehydration  by 
yourself.

Ready  fruits  should  be  soft,  without  moisture. 
Overdried fruits are stored worse and contain fewer 
nutrients. 
Dried vegetables should be hard and brittle. 
Note: If you didn’t dry all products at a time, you can 
continue drying at any appropriate time. In this case 
let the products in the trays (4) cool down to room 
temperature,  put  them  into  polyethylene  bags  or 
food containers and place them in the freezer.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Herbs, flowers, spices

– 

Practically all herbs are suitable for drying. 

– 

Dry spice herbs together with stems, separate 
leaves from stems after drying.

– 

Make sure that the herbs are well-dried; other-
wise they may start to rot.

– 

You  can  use  dried  flowers  for  making  fragrant 
sachets.

Drying of meat and fish

– 

You  can  dry  raw  or  cooked  meat  or  fish. 
Preprocessing of meat or fish keeps you healthy 
and is obligatory. 

– 

You can use dried meat or fish for making first 
or main courses. Before use soak it in water or 
broth for 1 hour. 

– 

Dry only lean meat without fat (for instance, beef 
or poultry meat) and only fresh fish.

– 

Keep  fish  and  meat  in  the  marinade  or  boil 
before cooking.

Recipe of the marinade

0,5 glass soy sauce
1 tea spoon cut garlic
2 tbl. spoons tomato paste
1,25 tea spoon salt
0,5 tea spoon ground pepper

Cooking of jerked beef

Cut  beef  into  small  pieces  against  fiber.  Put  the 
pieces  of  meat  into  the  marinade  for  3  hours,  then 
remove  and  dry.  Put  the  pieces  on  the  trays  for 
dehydration,  dry  for  8-15  hours.  Keep  jerked  beef 
in hermetic package at room temperature no longer 
than 2  weeks, in the fridge – no longer than 3 months.

Cooking of dried fish

Do not use frozen fish for drying. Remove the bones, 
cut the fish into pieces. Put fish into salt solution (half 
a glass of salt with 1L water) and put the container 
into  the  fridge  for  30  minutes,  then  remove  fish 
pieces and dry. Put fish pieces on the plate, add salt 
and spice (1 tea spoon salt for 1 kg fish). Cover the 
plate and put it into the fridge for 6 hours.
