Dryers

Food dryer how does it work? A food dryer is a household appliance that can dry fruit and vegetables without exceeding a temperature of 40°C, the limit beyond which a food starts to cook. Drying is a natural food preservation technique** through which food does not undergo any alteration treatment. No chemicals or preservatives are added. The drying process strips the food of 80-90% of its water, thus preventing the growth of bacteria.

Using the professional dryer in 4 easy steps!

Learn with us how to use the food dryer correctly by following a few simple steps:

• Cutfood into slices: usually no more than one centimetre thick, but in some cases, such as apricots or cherry tomatoes, it will be sufficient to cut them in half;
• Place the food in the racks: we recommend not overlapping the slices to avoid the risk of mould forming;
• Switch on the food dryer via the switch and adjust the temperature with the knob;
• Wait for the dryer to complete the process.

Once dried, the product can be stored for more than 12 months.
