Preparing Food - Silvercrest SDAG 250 A1 Bedienungsanleitung

Preparing food

Observe the following instructions to achieve the best possible quality and shelf
life for your desiccated food.
■ Only use fresh food of the best possible quality. Cut out bad parts, generously
if necessary.
■ As a rule, the riper the food, the more aromatic it is. However, the food
should not be overripe.
■ Ensure good hygiene during processing. Wash the food thoroughly and
make sure your hands and utensils are clean.
■ Wash the food thoroughly and dry it.
■ Cut the food into evenly sized, evenly shaped pieces as much as possible so
that they are dried evenly.
■ Seeds from stone fruit may be easier to remove if you first dry the fruits whole
for about half the drying time. Then remove the stones and continue the
drying process.
■ To prevent browning, sprinkle the cut surfaces of fruit that turns brown quickly
(e.g. apples) with a little lemon juice before the drying process.
■ Food can be blanched briefly before drying to shorten the drying time and
extend the shelf life.
■ When drying meat, choose pieces that are as lean as possible. Always
remove fat, tendons and bones from the meat and cut it into thin slices.
You can cure or marinate the meat, but dry it before desiccation.
■ Cut against the grain of the meat to make the dried meat easy to chew.
■ Remove skin and bones from fish and cut it into thin slices.
■ Fish and meat is easier to slice if you put the pieces in the freezer for about
20 minutes beforehand.
■ After preparation, place the food in the appliance and start the drying
process.
