Slices of apples, pineapple, pears, peaches or bananas, placed directly on the dehydrator kit (if supplied), will dry in 8 to 14 hours in the gently circulating warm air. Time will depend on the moisture in the fruit. Herbs can also be dried. However, the limited quantity of vegetables that can be dried at one time may not be worth your time and attention. Consult a book on dehydrating food for specific directions as to times, temperature, pretreatment and storage of dried foods.
