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.
