8.Place the stacked trays on the base. Cover the top tray with the Lid (2). Allow the food to dry for the chosen length of time. Drying time depends on the type of food. Consult recipes for various food drying techniques; follow beef*, poultry*, or fish jerky* drying recipes very carefully. Experimenting with different foods will help you determine the length of time needed for various foods. Purchasing recipe books (not available at Harbor Freight Tools) or checking on the Web for free recipes are good sources. Adjust the Top Lid (1) accordingly.

Drying times will change according to the humidity of the air, the temperature of the room, and the mois- ture content of the food item being dried. You will need to experiment with small portions first to become familiar with the time it will take to dry your chosen food item. Below are some general guidelines for some foods which are commonly dried. Use this table only as a guide, as drying times will vary.
