Drying Notes:
• To purchase a drying rack, contact your Jenn-Air dealer for the
“DRYINGRACK” Accessory Kit or call 1-800-JENNAIR.
• Most fruits and vegetables dry well and retain their color when
dried at 140° F. Meat and jerky should be dried at 145° - 150° F.
For optimal flavor, dry herbs at 100° F, however, at this lower
temperature expect extended drying times of up to 8 hours.
• The length of drying times vary due to the following: Water and
sugar content of food, size of food pieces, amount of food
being dried, humidity in the air.
• Check foods at the minimum drying time. Dry longer if neces-
sary.
• Fruits that turn brown when exposed to air should be treated
with an antioxidant. Try one of the following methods:
1. Dip fruit in a mixture of two parts bottled lemon juice to
one part cool water.
2. Soak fruit in a solution of 1 tsp. ascorbic acid or commer-
cial antioxidant to 1 quart of cold water.
• Foods may drip during the drying process. After drying high
acid or sugary foods, clean the oven bottom with soap and
water. The porcelain oven finish may discolor if acidic or sugary
food soils are not wiped up prior to high heat or a self-cleaning
cycle.
• More than one rack of food may be dried at the same time.
However, additional drying time is needed.
• Refer to other resources at your local library or call your local
County Extension service for additional information.
