Frequently Asked Questions - 31793 Lakeland

Can I dry meat in this dehydrator?
Yes, you can dry meat to make jerky. Ensure the meat is lean and sliced thinly (about 1/4 inch). Dry at 68-70°C (155-158°F) for 4-6 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F) for safety.
How do I clean the trays?
The trays are top-rack dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before reuse.
What is the maximum drying time?
The timer can be set up to 24 hours. After that, the unit will automatically shut off. You can reset if needed.
Why is my food not drying evenly?
Ensure food pieces are uniform in size and thickness. Rotate trays halfway through the cycle. Do not overlap food items. Also, check that the air vents are not blocked.
Can I dry herbs?

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS

FRUIT

Dried fruit can be added to breakfast cereal, muesli, natural yoghurt and home baking such as flapjack and crumbles.

You can soak the food to rehydrate, to make compotes, fruit sauces, pies or crumbles.

Eat dehydrated fruit plain as a snack, like apple rings and banana chips.

Place a cup of dried apple slices in the blender with a cup of water for instant apple sauce.

Strawberries are perfect for shakes and sundaes.

Melon and watermelon slices can become candy-like when dried.

Dehydrate lemon and orange zest, and powder for use in recipes for grated rind.

Dehydrate grapes to make raisins that taste and plump in recipes better than store-bought raisins.

Dry bananas 5mm thick and dip into a glaze of 100ml honey mixed with 50ml water.

Drain then place on trays and dry. For variety, add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze before dipping the bananas.

VEGETABLES

Dried vegetables such as mushrooms and tomatoes make tasty ingredients in stews, soups, casseroles and sauces. You can soak them in water first to rehydrate them.

You can also make vegetable crisps from wafer-thin slices of parsnip, courgette, sweet potato and aubergine. Dry until brittle, allow to cool then sprinkle with seasoning.

Prepared vegetables can be dipped in lemon juice for 2 minutes to add a hint of lemon flavour. This works well for green beans and asparagus.

Mix dried grated carrot, parsnips, onion, celery, chives and sweet peppers with turmeric powder and sea salt to make a delicious vegan stock. This makes a delicious base for soups.

Dry carrots and parsnips for salads, carrot cake or coleslaw.

Green beans and peas are best when used in soups, stews or casseroles.

Make onion powder by drying then either powder or chop in a blender.

Tomato slices can be used for colour and crunch when crumbled over a salad.

Alternatively, rehydrate them for soups, stews and casseroles. Tomato skins can be powdered and used as instant soup, sauces and pastes.

HINTS AND TIPS

Drying time is influenced by room temperature, humidity, food type, food size and quantity. Check your food every hour until it passes the dryness test in 'A Guide to Temperature and Timings'.

For the best flavour and colour, begin with fresh, ripe fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Use kitchen roll to absorb excess moisture from food before adding it to the Food Dehydrator.

The size of the food will affect the drying time. Ensure food is cut into pieces of a similar size and thickness. Use a food processor for fast, even slicing.

Dry the same type of foods at the same time – do not mix fruit and vegetables, or vegetables and meat etc. Stronger flavours can taint other food.

During the drying process, you can rotate the position of the trays if you find food is drying unevenly, just keep any empty trays at the bottom.

Fruit and vegetables with the skin left on will take longer to dry, as the skin prevents moisture drying out.

Fruit and vegetables should be dried at 48-58°C to minimise the loss of heat-sensitive vitamins A and C. The temperature can be set at 58-68°C for the first couple of hours of drying as the temperature of the food will remain lower at the start of the cycle. Then reduce the temperature.

FRUIT

Wash fruit thoroughly before drying.

Remove any bruised or damaged parts, de-seed and peel if needed.

Slice across the core or chop into equal sizes and place onto the trays.

To help preserve natural sweetness, vitamins, shelf-life, flavour and colour you can pretreat fruit before drying. Soak your fruit for around 2-5 minutes in 480ml of water and 60ml of fruit juice e.g. pineapple, orange, lemon or lime. Where possible, use the same fruit juice as the fruit you are soaking e.g. apple juice for apples. Before adding to the Food Dehydrator, drain the fruit juice and use kitchen roll to absorb any excess moisture.

Apples, pears, peaches and apricots are better when pre-treated.

Fruit can be coated in lemon juice to help keep colour of the fruit, for example, bananas.

To check fruit for dryness, tear in half, pinch and watch for moisture drops along the tear. If there is no moisture, it is ready to store.

Some fruits have a natural protective coating, such as figs, prunes, grapes, blueberries and cranberries. To dry whole, dip in boiling water first for 1-2 minutes to speed up the drying process.

If fruit has been artificially waxed it must be peeled first.

VEGETABLES

Wash vegetables thoroughly before drying.

Remove any bruised or damaged parts, de-seed and peel if needed.

Vegetables have a low acid and sugar content which means they have a shorter shelf-life than dried fruit.

Choose fresh, crisp, ripe vegetables and dehydrate them straightaway.

Chop into equal sizes and place onto the trays.

You can pre-treat vegetables before drying for better results, this will also help them keep their natural colour while speeding up drying time. Blanch your sliced vegetables in a covered pan with 2-3cm of boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Steam until vegetables are heated through and crunchy but not cooked (about a third of the normal cooking time). Drain and dip in cold water for 3-5 minutes. Before adding to the Food Dehydrator, drain and use kitchen roll to absorb any excess moisture. We recommend this for vegetables which are not normally eaten raw, for example asparagus and potatoes.

MEAT

For making beef jerky, we recommend using lean topside or silverside cuts.

Trim all visible fat from the meat and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze. Fat will shorten the shelf life.

While the meat is in the freezer, prepare the marinade recipe of your choice in a bowl or ziplock bag, mix well.

Remove the meat from the freezer and slice 5-8mm strips against the grain for an easy chew. Cut with the grain for more chew.

Add the meat to your chosen marinade recipe and leave for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.

When finished, remove from fridge and strain off any excess, pat dry the beef strips with paper towels before adding to the trays.

When dehydrated, wrap in kitchen towel to absorb excess fat and extend the shelf life.

Meat should always be dehydrated at 68^ C to prevent bacterial growth and must always be cured, marinated or pre-cooked first.

Once dehydrated, wrap the jerky in kitchen towel to absorb excess fat to extend its shelf-life.

Store in ziplock bags, vacuum sealed bags or jars for 7-10 days.

HERBS

Make your own dried herbs by gently rinsing very fresh herbs and shaking off any excess water. They should be picked before the plant begins to flower.

Remove dead or discoloured leaves and leave leaves on the stem to dry.

Lay the herbs loosely on the tray and dry for 2-10 hours. The drying time will vary according to size and type.

Herbs should be dried at 38°C to protect sensitive aromatic oils.

Once dried, let them cool completely, remove the leaves from the stem and store in an airtight container, paper bag or glass jar and keep out of sunlight.

To dry large leafed herbs, such as basil and sage, strip leaves, cut in half across the leaf to allow air inside the stem and shorten drying time.

Herbs are dry when they snap and crumble easily. Stems should be brittle and break when bent.

To check herbs are dry, place in an airtight container, if condensation appears after a couple of days, they need more drying.

STORING

It is better for food to be over-dry than under-dry as moist food is more likely to spoil during storage.

Store foods in an airtight, moisture proof container to prevent stickiness and rehydration caused by humidity.

Vacuum packing food will extend the shelf-life. Then store in an airtight container which stops light penetrating.

Do not store fruit and vegetables in the same container as flavour and moisture may transfer.

Do not crush or grind herbs until they are ready to use, as this exposes more surface to the air allowing loss of flavour. If stored well, they should last up to 12-18 months. Dried herbs are stronger than fresh, so use conservatively and label clearly so they are easy to recognise.

A GUIDE TO TEMPERATURES AND TIMINGS

These timings are only a guide. While dehydrating, check your food every few hours to check the dryness. Adjust the time according to your own personal preferences.

Drying times vary greatly according to the kind of food, the thickness and size of the pieces and even the temperature of your kitchen. You will find it helpful to keep your own record of how long different types of food take to dry.

Do not use the Dehydrator continuously for more than 40 hours. If you have, switch off and unplug at the socket and allow to cool completely.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why will the Food Dehydrator not switch on when I press the power button?

Answer: Check that is plugged in and switched on at the socket.

Question: Why are my ingredients not drying?

Answer: Allow plenty of space round the ingredients so the pieces are not touching. For food to dehydrate there needs to be plenty of space around it for hot air to circulate.

Place ingredients which take longer to dry at the top of the food dehydrator and any empty trays at the bottom of the stack, hot air rises so it will be warmest closest to the lid.

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the Food Dehydrator and let it cool down completely before cleaning.

Clean thoroughly before using for the first time and after every use.
