Dehydrating foods with convection bake Use the convection bake to dry and preserve fruits and vegetables. Tips: • Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. • Dry most fruits and vegetables at 150°F (66°C). • Check food at the minimum drying time. • It is best to use drying racks (not included) so that air can flow around the food. Do not place food directly on a baking sheet or pan. Food needs to be elevated to ensure even drying. • Multiple drying racks can be used simultaneously. • Racks 2 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5 can be used for multiple rack dehydrating. Use rack 3 if only dehydrating one rack. • Dehydrating meat is not recommended due to food safety concerns. • Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.
