EN
While most food types can be dehydrated at a temperature of approximately

etc) the temperature needs to be raised to guard against pathogens such as
Salmonella and E. Coli.
It is recommended that meat and poultry is dehydrated at the

to at least 93ºC/200ºF until flaky before dehydrating at the 70°C/158°F
setting on your dehydrator.
Choosing food to dehydrate
• For best results only use highest quality foods.
• Produce in peak season has more flavour and more nutrients.
• Meats, fish and poultry should be lean and fresh.
• Do not use food with bruises and blemishes. Bad produce can spoil the
entire batch.
• Remove as much fat as possible from meats prior to dehydrating. You can
use a paper towel under meat when dehydrating to absorb fat.
