The basics of drying
Drying and dehydrating are the oldest methods of conservation known to man.
All food contains water in larger or smaller measure.
By means of desiccating water is withdrawn from food and with it the basis for rotting and mould as
well as fermenting processes. By proper drying and storing the items will be preserved for years.
By withdrawing water the aroma becomes concentrated and the dried items are often tastier.
Vitamins, nutrients and minerals are not affected. Sulphur and other preserving substances
/95 EEC.
Even though you may already preserve by freezing or canning, drying will be a plus to your
kitchen and palate.
Drying in the kitchen oven often causes condensation because of its lack of air circulation, the
dripping and sticking of the juices from the drying items make it hard to clean as it is not built for
drying.
The dehydrating appliance
Your new dehydrating appliance works faster and to greater advantage due to a System which
is physically consistent: The air flow which is drawn in from above is evenly heated by a special
heater. This increases the moisture carrying capacity of the air and while it spreads over the
different drying levels with slight pressure it withdraws moisture from the items.
Now the moisture-saturated air does not flow an through all the levels before leaving the
appliance but leaves at each level separately instead. Therefore abc desiccators contain no
screens or wire trays but solid trays which are easy to clean. Crumbs and herbs cannot fall
through. This system makes an even drying an all levels possible, no repositioning is
necessary and the appliance can be left unattended till shortly before the drying time is up.
The dried items need only to be checked visually and by handling just before the drying time
has elapsed. Those with high Standards will be able to sort the items and possibly dry some
of them a little longer.
Preparation
Before the first use and at the beginning of each drying season we recommend that the
drying trays be rinsed. Do not scour!
Place the appliance in such a place where it is not in the way drying the whole desiccating
process. During drying a pleasant aromatic, fruity or spicy odour, depending an the items to
be dried can be present.
For Safe and appetizing preserving all the items should be washed well.
Use only foods in good condition, any blemishes should be removed generously. Fruit should be
without cores, should be ripe, but not over-ripe
Consult the table for each individual preparation.
To avoid the natural browning of the cut surface you can dip the fruit briefly in a mixture (1
tablespoon lemon juice to 1 cup of water). Instead of lemon juice commercial vitamin C can be
used. Then dab with paper towel.
Blanching is necessary for most vegetables (See tables). The vegetables which have been prepared
are dipped into a pot with boiling water by means of a wire basket or strainer. The Blanching period
is reckoned from the time when the water comes to a boil again.
The drying results are more even if the items are cut into about equally big pieces. Thin slices
dry quicker but remember that the pieces shrink considerably through drying.
For an approximate guideline you can figure about 600 grams (1 lb. 5 oz.) of fresh fruit or
300-400 grams (10-14 oz.) of fresh vegetables per tray, depending an variety.
We suggest to place pieces of fruit in an upright position closely together. Always place
unpeeled fruit with the cut surface pointing upwards. Sliced fruit should be placed an the tray as
overlapping scales like in fish, not flat.
Vegetables should only be placed in single layers, spaced evenly.
Herbs should be desiccated with care! If there occurs a smell too intensive the temperature setting
has been chosen too high.
The stems of herbs should be removed but they need not be chopped further
