▪ The table contains only recommended times and temperatures. The water content of the food to be
dried can vary depending on the variety and ripeness, and this also affects the drying time required
and the temperature. All figures are guidelines only and are not guaranteed.
▪ The drying time also varies based on the level of humidity in the room, the thickness of the slice
and the level of drying required.
▪ The more food is placed on the racks, the longer the drying time required to achieve the desired
level of drying.
If you want to dry based on raw food principles, set the temperature to no more than 40°C.
Using the silicone mould for cereal bars:
▪ Spread the prepared mixture into the cereal bar mould. The gaps should be filled up to the edges.
Make sure that the top of the mould stays clean.
▪ Place the silicone mould on the top rack.
▪ After half the drying time, break the cereal bar out of the silicone mould and place the bar on the
top rack without the mould.
▪ The silicone mould can also be used in the oven at up to 200°C.
Note: The recipe book provided includes ideas for cereal bars. But don't be afraid to come up with
your own ideas.
Permanent baking parchment:
You can also use permanent baking parchment on the drying racks if you are drying foods which are
moist or stick easily (e.g. tomatoes, cereal bars). Cut the baking parchment to around 25 x 16 cm so
it is slightly smaller than the drying rack and the warm air can circulate well. Now spread the cereal
mixture onto the baking parchment. Here too, the baking parchment can be removed after half the
drying time.
Storage
Here are a few handy hints on storing your dried fruits properly so you can snack on them for a long
time:
▪ Use clean, dry storage containers which are, if possible, air-tight and opaque. The storage boxes
provided are perfect.
▪ Make sure that there is no residual moisture left in the fruit, as this will cause it to rot.
▪ Wait for the dried food to cool before putting it in the container.
▪ Avoid sunlight.
The dried food will keep up to six months if it is very dry. For dried foods with a residual moisture of
15-20%, we recommend storing for a maximum of 3 weeks.
