Dehydrating 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
dehydrated.
Prepare the food for dehydrating.
– Peel and core apples, and cut into
slices 1/4" (.5 cm) thick.
– Core plums if necessary.
– Peel, core and cut pears into
wedges.
– Peel and slice bananas.
– Clean mushrooms, then either halve
or slice them.
– Remove parsley and dill from the
stem.
Distribute the food evenly over the
roasting pan.
Select Convection Bake or
Surround .
Select a temperature of 175-200°F
(80–100°C).
Place the roasting pan on shelf level
