• Having the motor at the back of the dehydrator allows the airflow to reach all trays and foods evenly .
• The air flow acts simultaneously above and below the food, making drying faster and more uniform .
• Thanks to this system, the trays can be loaded to the maximum, optimising space and consumption .
• The possibilities of use are greatly expanded, since with this type of dehydrator it is also possible to: defrost food, prepare yogurt, cook steaks or meat in general at a low temperature before finishing cooking on the grill.

What does “drying food” mean?

Drying consists of completely eliminating the liquid part of a food through ventilation at a controlled temperature, and this is where the dryer comes to the rescue. It is a traditional and natural method of preserving vegetables , which allows you to buy them in season and preserve them for consumption throughout the year.
Drying is therefore the most natural preservation method possible , which allows the organoleptic characteristics and nutritional properties of foods to be preserved for a long time.

With this method of preservation, the flavors and aromas of foods are also better preserved.

How does a dryer work?

The operation of the dryer is very simple:

A heating element generates heat according to the programmed temperature, which can vary from 30°C to 75°C. This heat is distributed by a fan that generates a constant flow of air through the various perforated trays.

Unlike natural drying by the sun's rays, this gentle air flow allows for faster drying and, above all, is not affected by air humidity. In addition, solar rays alter some of the properties of foods, such as vitamins and aromas that are sensitive to light.

What can I dry?

VEGETABLES and GREENS
Any type of vegetable can be dried easily. Ideal for those who grow their own vegetables and do not want to waste excess produce that cannot be consumed fresh.

FRUIT
Even orchards often ripen quickly, making it impossible to consume all the fruit, resulting in overripe fruit spoiling and being wasted. By drying it, we can use 100% of the fruit produced or purchased.

MUSHROOMS (and products available in certain periods)
Dried mushrooms are a specialty that many do not want to give up; drying them is very simple and the flavors are even enhanced. As with mushrooms, it is also possible to dry all those typical products that can only be found in certain periods of the year or in certain climatic conditions.

AROMATIC HERBS AND FLOWERS
Drying aromatic, medicinal and officinal herbs has been practiced for thousands of years. It is an excellent way to preserve the collected herbs for all those who love herbal teas and infusions. Flowers are also ideal for use in infusions or to decorate or flavor dishes or desserts.

MEAT
Dried meat is not a very common product in Italian culture, but it is still a very good and practical product to use, simply to eat it, or even mince it and use it to flavor or aromatize other preparations.

FISH
Dried fish is a type of food used and consumed mostly in Eastern countries, but it is really tasty.
