Introduction to Food Dehydration

How Food Dehydration works
Electric Food Dehydrators eliminate much of the guess work in food drying and gives you
the flexibility to dry food anytime of the day or night and in any weather. Drying food
is the oldest method of preserving food. It is a natural process that creates an environment
in which water is removed from food. Dehydrating food also seals in the flavours and
nutrients of the food, leaving a high nutrient and vitamin content in your dried foods.
Drying fresh, ripe fruit, vegetables, meats and just about any other type of food, allows
you to enjoy these luxuries all year round. Storing of food is easy and takes up little
storage space. Dried food has a long shelf life in air tight storage jars of approximately
4-6 months depending on type of food and climate.
Drying fruit and vegetables with your Luvele Food Dehydrator will produce food that
differs in colour and appearance from produce purchased in Health Food Stores and
Supermarkets. This is because most commercially dried foods have artificial colouring
and preservatives added to them. Whereas your Luvele Food Dehydrator requires
no preservatives or additives.
You can dry herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables straight from your garden. You can
make delicious beef jerky with your favourite herbs and spices. Natural healthy snacks
can easily be created using your Luvele Food Dehydrator, also a variety of fruit
rolls-ups. It is all about experimenting, the choices are endless.

Cleaning your Base and Trays

for several minutes. Use a soft brush to clean off any food particles that remain. Do not use
any metal objects or scouring pads to clean trays with as they may damage the surface of the
trays. Caution: Do not place trays in dishwasher.
Top Mounted Power Unit
Use a damp cloth or towel to remove dried food particles from the top mounted power unit of
the dehydrator. Avoid dripping any liquid into electrical parts. Caution: Be sure the unit is

Drying Instructions #1

Selecting Food & Loading Tray
Select high quality produce that is ripe and full of flavour for the best results. Wash all
fruits and vegetables to remove any debris, dust or insects. Cut away any bruised
or damaged sections. Lay food pieces evenly onto the trays. Do not overlap the
food pieces as this may inhibit drying. As each tray is loaded, stack it on the dehydrator
to begin the drying process.
Drying Time
Drying times will vary, depending on the type and amount of food, the thickness of
the slices, the percentage of water in the food and the weather when using the
Dehydrator.
Packaging
Dried foods should be packaged straight after drying to prevent stickiness and
rehydration caused by humidity. Store dried foods in airtight, moisture proof
containers. If foods are insufficiently dried, or are exposed to moisture from faulty
packaging, they can lose quality and nutrition, and can even form mould during
storage. The Luvele Vacuum Sealer is ideal for packaging dried foods. It can
extend the shelf life of dried foods 3 to 4 times. The Luvele Vacuum Sealer can
be purchased from our website.
Plastic freezer bags can be used. Plastic storage bags that are not labelled for use
in the freezer generally are not airtight nor moisture-proof and should not be used
to store dried foods. Since most packaging materials are transparent, store packaged
dried foods in a plastic or metal container which will not allow the light to penetrate.
Store all foods separately so flavours do not mix. Fruit roll-ups are best if removed
while still warm. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in airtight moisture-proof containers
for storage.

Drying Instructions #2
Storage
The storage area should be cool, dry, and dark. The darker and cooler the storage
area, the longer the dried foods will last. The ideal storage temperature for
dehydrated food is 15°C to below freezing. The ideal storage place is your
freezer or refrigerator, particularly for storing low acid foods such as meats,
fish and vegetables.
Rehydrating Dried Food
Enjoy dehydrated foods when dry or rehydrate foods to use in recipes.
Rehydrating can be done by placing dried foods in enough water to cover food and
then soaking for approximately one hour. Boiling water will rehydrates foods much
faster than cold water. Fruits or vegetables may also be rehydrated in liquids other
than water, including fruit juices, cider, vegetable juices, milk etc. Adding salt or
sugar during rehydration will slow the rehydration process down.
Cooking Dried Food
After rehydrating food, cook it as you would normally. Most fruits and vegetables will
rehydrate to about 70-90% of their fresh state. Keep in mind they will be more chewy
than fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable. Dried food used in cooking will absorb
additional liquid, so adjust the recipe accordingly by adding more water.

Add extra Trays
If you are enjoying your dried foods why not add extra trays to increase
the drying potential of your new Food Dehydrator. Luvele offers packs of
three spare trays. The Luvele Food dehydrator can be stacked to eight trays.
Drying more food in one batch is an efficient, power saving way to enjoy more
dried foods more often.
Non-stick Mesh Liner
Luvele non stick mesh liners are used to prevent foods with high
sugar content, such as bananas, tomatoes and watermelon, from
sticking to the drying trays. Without this mesh liner sticky foods can be
difficult and frustrating to peel or scrape off the trays. The mesh liners also help prevent
small pieces of food, like herbs, from falling through the trays. Lastly, they minimize
liquid or juice from dripping down from one tray onto another.
The mesh liners are non-stick, easy to clean, heat-resisting, reusable and they
carry SGS (Global) and FDA (USA) food safety approvals. They are available in
packs of two.
Fruit Roll-up Sheet
The Luvele fruit roll-up sheet is a plastic liner that fits inside a dehydrator tray. They are
used for foods that are high in liquid content which cannot be dehydrated directly on the
drying tray or mesh liner because they would drip through. The roll-up sheet provide a
way to make fruit roll-ups like you buy at the supermarket out of just about any fruit
combination imaginable. They can also be used to dry crackers, thick or pureed foods
such as applesauce, spaghetti sauce, yoghurt, soups, stew, refried beans and pea soup.
They are available in packs of two.
Meat Jerky Gun
The Luvele Jerky Gun allows you to make great tasting jerky in your own home.
You can make perfect jerky sticks or strips, with ease every time, using the Luvele
Jerky Gun.

Preparation
Wash fruit and dry with paper towels. Remove any blemishes, pips and stones, then slice
evenly. Pre-treat where recommended. Read following table for further information.
Pre-Treatment
The pre-treatment of fruit is recommended to help slow down browning while the fruit
is drying. We recommended you use a natural pre-treatment solution of pineapple or
lemon juice. Soak prepared, sliced fruit for 1-2 minutes in the juice before placing on
drying racks.
Blanching
Some fruits with natural protective wax coatings e.g. figs, grapes and prunes, need to
be blanched to speed the drying process. To blanch place whole fruits in boiling water
for 1 - 2 minutes. Then plunge into ice cold water, slice and commence drying.
