Ronco Food Saver manual Food Dehydrator Clay, Holiday Ornaments, Mexican Dough Art

Food Dehydrator Clay

2 cups flour

1 cup salt

1 cup water

Mix flour and salt together, then add water. Blend mixture by hand. Knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes into a pliable, moist ball.

Roll dough on a well-floured surface, adding flour to the top of the dough so it will not stick. Keep surface well-floured as you roll and turn dough. Cut into shapes or make figurines and then dry.

Holiday Ornaments

Roll dough thin - as you would a cookie. Use cookie cutters for designs. Make extra ornaments to use as testers. You’ll break the testers to see if dough is completely dry all the way through.

Sprinkle a little flour on the dehydrator trays and place ornaments (not touching each other) on the trays.

Dehydrate for 2-3 days or 18 to 24 hours with the fan/motor. You re- ally can’t over-dry them. Be sure your testers break with a snap and are completely dry inside.

Notes

1.Roll dough as smoothly as possible.

2.Remember not to make ornaments/art too tall. They must fit within the tray height without touching the next tray on the top.

3.Paint with any crafts paint after dehydrating or make dough with food color. Clear spray helps preserve your crafts.
