Place dried food in plastic freezer bags before storing in metal or glass
containers. Remove as much air as possible before sealing.
•
Vacuum sealing is ideal for storing dried foods.
•
Remember that foods shrink to their original size and weight during the
dehydration process at ¼ to ½ for example, so the pieces should not be cut
too small. One pound of raw meat makes about 0.2 kg of dried meat.
•
Use the drying process instructions on the control panel as a guide to the
correct temperature setting. If the heat is set too high, food may harden and
dry from the outside but be moist from the inside. If the temperature is too
low, the drying time will be longer.
Rehydration
Although it is not necessary to rehydrate the dried food before consumption, it can
have advantages. Vegetables, for example, can be used well as a side dish or in
recipes after it has been prepared in the following way.
●
•
The dried foods can be rehydrated by soaking in cold water for 3-5 minutes.
Use 1 cup of water for 1 cup of dried food. After rehydration the food can be
cooked normally. Soaking food in warm water accelerates the process, but can
lead to a loss of taste.
•
Drained fruit and vegetables should be soaked in cold water in the
refrigerator for 2-6 hours.
Note: Soaking at room temperature allows harmful bacteria to grow.
•
Do not add spices. Adding salt or sugar during rehydration can change the
taste of the food.
•
To make compote or vegetable balls, add 2 cups of water and simmer.
•
Take dehydrated food as soon as possible after opening the storage container,
keep all unused portions in the refrigerator to avoid contamination.
