Blanching or steaming of vegetables is recommended to help retain color. Blanching also helps break down waxy skins on fruits like grapes to help with even drying.

For best results, keep all five trays in place while drying, whether they are used or not.

the Fruit Roll Insert on the top tray. This will help ensure even
