Drying
Dehydrating or drying is a traditional
method of preserving fruit, certain
vegetables and herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.
Peel and core the food for drying, if
necessary, and cut it up.
Distribute the food to be dried evenly
according to size over the rack or the
universal tray.
If using the rack and universal tray,
place the universal tray below the
rack.
Tip: You can also use the gourmet
perforated baking tray, if you have one.
