Leave the oven door ajar. The opening should be between 5 and 10 cm, so that moisture can escape and the temperature can be controlled.

If your oven has a fan, use it. The constant airflow will dry thin slices and small fruits faster.

Turn the fruit pieces every 20 to 30 minutes to ensure even drying. Use kitchen tongs.

If the fruit looks dry, it is ready. The total dehydration time of the pieces depends on several factors: the amount of water contained in the fruit, the size of the slice, the temperature of the oven and the level of humidity in the air. However, as a guide, an average of 2-4 hours or until they look dry can be calculated.



Select quality, fresh fruit, at the ideal point of ripeness and without obvious damage.

Wash it and dry it very well (you can use kitchen paper, the absorbent kind).

Cut it into thin slices. Choose only one norway phone data type of fruit for each drying batch.

Place the fruit slices on a microwave-safe plate (or on the glass turntable in the microwave itself). Spread them out without piling them up.

Set the microwave for approximately 30 to 45 minutes (time depends on the fruit, humidity and size). Select the defrost function to prevent burning.

Store dried fruit in a glass jar or vacuum pack it.

Turn the pieces every 12 hours.
