To dehydrate more effectively, we recommend the following:

2. Exchange top and bottom trays after 2-3 hours of drying.

c. Pretreatment of meat, fish and other foods:

1. Lean (no fat):

It is recommended that the meat is marinated prior to drying to maintain a natural taste and to make it tender. Pickled products must have salt to aid in the absorption of moisture from the meat and to preserve freshness.

Marinated standard:

1) 1/2 cup bean paste;
2) 1 garlic, smashed;
3) 2 tablespoons of brown sugar;
4) 2 tablespoons ketchup;
5) 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce;
6) 1-1/4 teaspoon of salt;
7) 1/2 teaspoon of onion Powder;
8) 1/2 teaspoon of pepper;

Mix all ingredients above. Cut the meat into thin slices and place it into the appliance. The drying time is about 2-8 hours until all the water evaporates.

1. Poultry meat:

All poultry meat must be boiled before drying. Steaming or roasting is the best way. The drying time is about 2-8 hours until all the water evaporates.

1. Fish:

It is advisable to steam or roast before baking (in the oven, bake at 200^ C, bake for 20 minutes) and dry for about 2-8 hours until all the water evaporates.

d. Bread etc.:

Bread etc.: cut it to small pieces (without the crust) Place it freely in the dryer, the drying time is approximately 30 minutes – 2 hours.

e. Nuts:

Rinse with hot water. Scatter on the dryer. Store nuts after cooling. The oil contained in the nuts will cause some rotten odors, so it must be kept in the refrigerator to ensure its freshness. When using nuts, take them out al normal room temperature: the drying time is about 18-26 hours.
