a.Roasting times are approximate and may vary depending on the shape of the meat.
b.Stuffed turkey requires additonal roasting time. The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165°F.
Dehydrate | The dehydrate mode dries with heat from a |
| third element behind the back wall of the oven. |
| The heat is circulated throughout the oven by |
| the convection fan. Use dehydrate to dry and/or |
| preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and |
| herbs. This mode holds an optimum low tem- |
| perature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the |
| heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven |
| will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off |
| automatically. |
For Best Results:
•Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).
•Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time.
•Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously.
•Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
•Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.
