Dehydrating Tips
Do not overlap foods. Make sure foods are flat when placing on dehydrating trays. Overlapped
foods can greatly increase drying time.
Make sure foods are completely dry before removing. If you are not sure, cut a sample down the
middle to check for internal dryness.
Make sure to label containers when you store your dehydrated food.
Proper storage helps maintain quality food. Package the food when cool. Foods can be kept longer
if stored in a cool, dark and dry place. The ideal storage temperature is 60°F or lower.
Place dehydrated foods in plastic freezer bags before storing in metal or glass containers. Remove
as much air as possible before sealing.
Vacuum sealing is the best way to keep dehydrated foods.
Food will shrink approximately ¼ to ½ their original size and weight during dehydration. Make sure
not to cut pieces of food to be dehydrated too small.
