Fruits, vegetables, and even meat - dried fruit dryer foods are much tastier and healthier than store-bought foods.
Dryers dry food evenly, thanks to a powerful motor that directs warm air along each tray. The drying time depends on the amount of moisture in the vegetables, the thickness of the slices and the humidity in the room. To make the treats dry faster, lay them in a single layer at a short distance from each other. So the warm air will blow over every piece from all sides without hindrance.
Please note: small foods (peas, blueberries) and juicy vegetables (tomatoes) are best dried on sheets in a fine mesh. They are additionally attached to the complete set of expensive models of dryers or purchased separately. You can easily extract dried delicacies, as they do not stick to such sheets.
Vegetables that are well dried should be firm or crispy (no wet spots). Allow dried fruit to cool before placing it in airtight containers. Store the dryer in a dry and dark place.

Remember one rule: For food to dry faster, always place them skin side down on the tray. Place fruits (plums, apricots) with the cut side down on the tray, pressing down on the convex side. The part of the piece turned outward will dry out faster.
To preserve the natural color of berries and fruits, sprinkle with pineapple juice and allow to dry before drying in the appliance.
