Electric dryer for vegetables, berries, herbs, herbs, fruits (general questions)

[Kalmykova]

Kalmykova I do not argue, thin chips are also very tasty. BUT, this is CHIPSIKI !. And I just wanted to make such semi-soft dried ones. As a child, I used to buy them for my son in Germany. And these are exactly what you get if you keep them in thick syrup and cut them not very thinly. But this is a matter of taste. Of course, when there are a lot of apples, there may not be time to do this (although what is the problem? Pour syrup in a bowl or bucket, stand and dry. That's all! And then put the syrup on the compote.)
And I also bought a machine for cleaning and cutting apples together with a dryer, here. Now it's only about apples. We don't have our own in the garden, but buying in farm gardens is not a problem (or maybe someone will treat you to a thread)

Oksan, how thick should the round pieces be?

Well, how do you cut it! You can 1 cm, and if dense, then 0.5 cm. The thinner, the faster they dry. I like it very much. Sour apricots, apples too. I threw a couple of bananas into the kampotik, and it's not so sour!

Tell me, you were worried last year that you dried so much. Did everything come in handy?
Otherwise I will worry too

I've been dragging myself with dry tomatoes for a whole year !!! In everything that she gave with gravy ... and she picked them out and ate them. For the holiday she made her tongue in sour cream and with tomatoes, so the guests were in ecstasy!
A jar of sun-dried, filled with oil, so economized ... that the latter blossomed. I almost cried.
There are still apples ... but I dried them a lot !!!
The smaller one made soups with zucchini, tomatoes and peppers all winter. He does not eat in his normal form, and he does not eat in the soup, but I will catch it from the ready-made soup into a mug, I will walk with a blender and back to the soup. Not borscht (he doesn't like borscht), but delicious!
I want a coffee grinder this year. To dry onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, carrots ... and grind. What would instead of mivin usyakih, it was a seasoning.

So it seems to me that there is no such thing much. And how happy and grateful the relatives are when they leave us and receive a packet of other tomatoes !!!
So Lenusya sushi! Don't eat this year, finish the next!

In general, everything that hard-earned Yesterday it was dry - today it was eaten. Moreover, it is impossible to come off like seeds! Everyone was grumbling, even a child !!!! The apples were fresh sour, after drying they turned out really like chips. Bananas are delicious !!! But I didn't like the apricots. During their lifetime they were fleshy and dense, dried out for a very long time, eventually turned black and hardened (we could have overexposed). In general, now they require dried bananas !!!

[Girls]

Girls, good morning! I have a question about a topic that I either viewed here or is not there at all. On one of the American sites, I saw in some master class that an electric dryer for vegetables and fruits is used to dry figures and flowers from mastic, but the computer was junk at that time and I did not have time to save the link. Maybe someone will try to do this at a low temperature (some little bit of mastic that you don't mind spoiling) and then unsubscribe. I think it would be very useful for all of us. I'm just going to buy an electric dryer.

[: valdis]

: valdis I will allow myself to intercede for Isidri It is not only and not even that "has been done in New Zealand". It's just that these dryers have advantages: there is NO PLASTIC ODOR during operation (in the overwhelming majority of dryers, with prolonged heating, they begin to smell unpleasant, it's checked, because I have been looking for myself for a long time and faced this).
Most dryers have a smaller tray height than Isidri. In very few models, you can add trays (and even then up to 10 pieces) - this is very popular to me, secretly explained by familiar masters in service centers. Most often, sellers, wanting to sell a thing, lie about the possibility of adding trays (this was again told to me at the service center).
Having multiple temperature settings also means a lot.
Yes, the price is quite decent, I agree. Perhaps even overpriced. I also recently bought it for 1200 UAH. But, considering that I do drying for my family and a small child, I want to be sure of the quality of the products And Isidri is still really the best, if it were cheaper, I would gladly buy another one, because my 15 trays were not enough for me

I quickly ran through the last couple of pages through the dryers - I did not notice melon dryers among my "like-minded people". Look at what kind of dried melon (chips) I came out, super tasty \ So I think at what stage of drying Uzbeks braid it into braids, I saw braided melons in such braids on the market. But they seem to be softer than mine. Pts beautifully braids-melons look new

But I did not read well about the melon last year ... I myself am a bastard from these chips !!!

[dried]

I’m thinking at what stage of drying the Uzbeks weave it into braids, I saw braided melons in such braids on the market. But they seem to be softer than mine.

Uzbek melon dried, and not dried as we do Therefore, it is soft and woven into braids

Here, one of these days I'll show you dried cherries, then I'll tell you how!

ROMA, tell us, let's say I wilted, and then how should I store dried?

ROMA, tell us, let's say I wilted, and then how should I store dried?

Drying and drying are different concepts!
Drying occurs with the help of sugar, plastic, soft.
Drying without sugar, dry, brittle and brittle.

Both, after readiness, are stored in paper bags, glass.

If it is drying, you need to dry the fruit very well, dry.

Oh, you can write a lot about this, about these methods.
Now I will finish drying, I will make a separate topic

Thank you, Tanya, for the explanation) otherwise I thought if it was not dried, then this is dried)))

Girls check it out plizzzz

Looks like dried cherries ???

It has been drying for two whole hours And the taste - the brains melt

I did it!

Very similar !!!! Saliva is already being released

While you salivate for appetite

If everything goes well, I'll post the recipe tomorrow

And I went to buy apricots, I will dry them ...

I can imagine how super tasty it is, I once bought dried cherries for homemade kozinaki, the cherries impressed me, but I didn't manage to do it that year ...
Is it a sugar syrup cherry? When I didn't have a dryer, but there were a lot of gratuitous pears (Forest Beauty), my neighbor, an Armenian, taught me how to make a SUPER pear, in slices in hot syrup - for the night, then on a leaf and in the oven. And then dry like a meringue (meringue) \ But in the dryer I have not tried this.

These are fabulous pears, and so are all fruits.

Hello!
Please advise a good dryer (except ezidri and not infrared)!
Really needed! There is no way to read 60 pages in the topic, because the Internet is very limited!
Thank you in advance!

I have a Russian "Veterok": 3 trays 5 cm high (I even dry the taranka, in the winter dry-cured sausage and puffed meat), the temperature is regulated. I don't have my own summer cottage, I bought fruits and vegetables, so I have enough trays. I am very happy with it. We have in the Zaporozhye market now these only for 5 trays cost 600 UAH, Rotor - with a large diameter - 650 UAH

Hello!
Please advise a good dryer (except ezidri and not infrared)!

I have a DELFA DD-770 dryer with a power of 250W, the maximum operating time is up to 50 hours continuously. The heating element is closed (air is blown out to the side), that is, dripping juice is not terrible.
5 pallets, temperature regulation 35-70 * С. There is no marshmallow tray. (But who bothers to put thin flat molds?). You can make yoghurts.

I bought it 2 years ago, somewhere around 300 UAH.
I'm very happy! I don't want any other!

Thank you.But, unfortunately, dolphs cannot be found in Moscow. I will take into consideration the breeze.

I bought it on Fozzy a month ago for ... uh, not a full 300 hryvnyas, until nra))) It doesn't stink with plastic when drying. Pastila dry land too, although there are no special pallets.

It copes with its functions perfectly, although I have so far only dried mushrooms and apples in it.

Hello, tell me about the Hilton dryer. It is highly recommended, who came across?

It is very necessary to decide, because the drying season is coming to an end, a lot needs to be done
I have been using this for 2 years. I am very satisfied.

Dachshund, take another dryer. For almost a year I convinced my mother of the advisability of this purchase, and for a couple of months the owner of Ezidri Shnekmeiker.
Today, finally, I finished off the entire branch to the last post, registered and I hasten to ask my questions.

Since, an old-timer and the owner of a similar dryer, here is Admin, the questions are mostly for her, but I will be very glad for any tips.

The first question on storage: well-dried foods (in my case, zucchini and tomatoes) can be stored in a glass jar, just covered with a rag? (I threw tuda and solki in napkins for fidelity). And is it necessary to dry them out in temporary storage, so to speak (in paper or linen bags)? If so, how many are there?

I cherished the hope of making dried apricots, but the apricot disappeared so quickly ... In general, I barely managed to dry it. I read in the recipe book what should be cut into halves and turned out. I put the current down to dry. As a result, well, very good. dry strips. I keep them in a linen bag, but they are still a little sticky. I'm worried - they won't start a moth? Although there is nowhere else to dry. Here is the second question: is it really possible to dry it in halves? And how should this process take place? And how to store if the product is soft-sticky-plastic? Toko in the fridge?

Dried some strawberries. Well, she didn't look like chips. She was sticking all the time. Can we still keep it nadot? I put it in the hol-to, but it’s somehow dumb.

Pastila inspired the most: I made strawberry and apricot. The kid is now constantly asking for candy. Track. question: where to store it? I rolled it into tubes, folded it into an ordinary plastic container and into a hol-k. Or are there other options?

Well, the last (for today) question: who dried the blue thread? I bought it, but I don’t dare to do it. Do I need some kind of preliminary preparation. They don't taste much bitter.

Immediately I apologize to everyone, if something goes wrong. Well, I was very worried

[Dried cherries]

Girls, recipe Dried cherries exhibited here ...

I looked. I got inspired for the next year. Now the plums are coming. Question: is there a recipe for dried plums in this super book?

These tomatoes were dried in an electric dryer
She took out the pulp, sprinkled it with salt and Provencal herbs on top.

How to remove this pulp? I didn't catch up. Even some skins will remain. Tell me, pliz!

bought 4 days ago izidri. accidentally discovered on the VVC.
and then she already called to Kiev. no one in Russia wanted to bother with shipping

dries incessantly.
and almost on the very first day, it became clear that it is catastrophically small for our family

dried tomatoes. I just cut it into round pieces, I don't take out the pulp. dry round plates are obtained. children grab them at the moment
even dried by cutting into 4 lobes (these are plum tomatoes)
they went into a jar (which I managed to save from home) with garlic, olive oil, etc. I hope to turn out a la Italian

peaches, nectarines, plums - incredibly tasty!
one problem. or to buy more pallets to Izidri now, or also to buy a summer resident-4

but I wanted to first buy a dry wind or a breeze or something like that
but she saw that they had no central well.

I wonder if this is a marketing ploy or does the well really improve (speed up, give uniformity) drying?

Good morning, bakers !! Olpe tell me where Isidri was found at the All-Russian Exhibition Center, what model and what is the price, otherwise I already called Saratov, they said that it would be only at the end of August, and "the spoon is good for dinner", there is nothing to dry will be while you wait!

I looked. I got inspired for the next year. Now the plums are coming. Question: is there a recipe for dried plums in this super book?

How to remove this pulp? I didn't catch up. Even some skins will remain. Tell me, pliz!

In this book, as in Greece, almost everything is there! What is not - you can do it by analogy! I need a recipe - I will, there is simply no need to publish everything.
If cut in circles, then the pulp does not need to be removed, just dry and get sour chips.

If you cut a whole tomato into 2 parts cream, into 4 parts a large tomato, then you need to take out the pulp with seeds with a teaspoon (cut off), but do it so that the pulp still remains, but we do not need the slurry with seeds.
Sprinkle salt and spices on such boats and dry in a dryer.
I have a topic on sun-dried tomatoes, look at the pictures there.

So that there are no skins left, take fleshy tomatoes with thick walls

Since, an old-timer and the owner of a similar dryer, here is Admin, the questions are mostly for her, but I will be very glad for any tips.

Questions for me, I'll try to answer
But, we talked so much about this, so many personal topics were opened on this topic ...

Maybe it makes sense to organize our material, make a table of contents, what and how to dry and store ...

Girls, you should distinguish between dried and dried!
How to dry, I wrote in the topic Dried cherries, and drying is always carried out with sugar.

Drying, it is clear that we cut thinly and dry. Optimally, when drying, cut all fruits into thin chips, then they dry well and will be well stored.
Well-dried chips will not be very sticky, since they retain a little of their sugar.
The chips will taste sour, since the fruits themselves are always sour.
It all depends on the presence of sugar in the fruit and its amount.

Never compare sour homemade chips with purchased ones, they are already dried, sweet, with sugar, which is why they are so sweet and very sticky.

You will not make whole apricots (dried apricots) in the dryer yourself, they will deteriorate. They need to be done according to the scheme and dried with sugar.
Today if I buy apricots, I'll try to make them.

We cut zucchini and eggplants "like fries", in circles and dry without problems.

Dried vegetables, fruits are well stored in jars under a lid, bags.
I just run out of tomatoes and greens, which were dried 2 years ago, and partly in glass, part in birch bark, part in wood.
This year I will dry greens again.

I kept sun-dried tomatoes with salt and spices in the freezer, where they are plastic and soft and do not deteriorate.
Sun-dried tomatoes can be stored in oil in the refrigerator.

Experiment more often and more, watch, read - don't be afraid !!!

Today I have conceived a vegetable-fruit "scam", but I don’t know what the result will be, I just imagined the taste, what could happen and I will do!
And how else can you find out that you can do this, and whether it will be tasty ?!

Cook with pleasure and bon appetit!

There are also recipes for dried onions and carrots on the blog.

: victory: Girls, good afternoon! Who may be interested in information in Moscow - at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in pavilion 70 (telf (495) 649-44-67) an electric dryer Izidri500 appeared (I don’t know the price), they accept an order for Izidri1000, the price is from 9500. They said it would be better to order, because they will bring little ... They promised in early September. I ordered myself, now I think probably 5 trays are not enough, maybe it is still worth ordering, I wonder how many trays are the best option so that you don't throw away extra money and that you have enough.

The first pancake is lumpy.
The tomatoes in the dryer are moldy, the bananas are black and the taste is not very good, the pears, oranges and apples are so-so.

Now I've put in a banana-apple marshmallow, let's see what happens.

[Meat in marinade, dried in an electric dryer]

Meat in marinade, dried in an electric dryer

[Dried leaf celery greens]

Dried leaf celery greens

bananas and greens came out great, and the last batch of tomatoes was overexposed, some were dry ... and turned black. The croutons came out tomato ... The only thing we saw was bananas. Two pallets were destroyed yesterday in an hour ... Well, I don’t even remember which mode I dried, turned it on for the night ... and left ... In the morning I pulled it out, but I didn’t even remember the mode ...

And I want to show the fruits of the labors of my dryer. The last three days (with interruptions) I dried small overripe bananas, a little peach-mango, apples in syrup again and made raisins. Here's what happened. these are peaches and bananas (what I managed to save for a photo, the rest "tried") this was the raisin, and the grape was this Arcadia and Cardinal ... Girls, the raisins turned out to be a fairy tale! Not overdried, well-dried, just the way I like it. Of course, I feel sorry for him in baking. And so enjoy the very thing. Now I have put small Rizamat grapes almost without seeds. I'll see which one is better. And now I make dried plums according to the Admin recipe. I will show you later.
If anyone has a lot of grapes - make raisins, don't be afraid. Anyone will go. Well, very tasty!

[ma-ri-na]

ma-ri-na I made raisins like everyone else, I guess. For 3 sec. dipped the brushes into a hot soda solution (100 grams of baking soda per 5 liters of water). Then immediately into cold water. I blanched because the skin of this grape is very dense and I was too lazy to prick each berry. She tore off the berries, poured them in one layer on the tray (I got 4 trays) and set them to dry on 3 modes (I have Isidri, it's 60-65 *). Dried with breaks: drying for 8 hours, a night break, and so on three times. Brought to the consistency I needed. On one tray, the berries were the largest and took longer to dry. I keep it in a plastic bag with a snake and in the refrigerator, in the vegetable drawer. I also store dried apples in the same bags. I also store store raisins. The raisins turned out to be much tastier than the store! This is my Admin recipe. It tastes like dried fruit from jam (or candied fruit) with a pleasant sourness. Now there is a second batch, however, a different variety, and this time I just poured it overnight with syrup (otherwise it’s painfully awkward) Well, to make crispy crisps, just cut them thinner.

For some reason, I thought all the time that the soda solution in such cases plays the role of a disinfectant, or something. For disinfection, sterility. I didn't know about vitamins ...

Soda softens the peel more

Even I already smelled like celery. And what will happen as it comes to the bow ...

Yeah, onion smell - beeee You can dry on the balcony, that is, put the dryer on the balcony

Yeah, onion smell - beeee Can be dried on the balcony

Normal smell, when you want greenery in winter I keep the dryer on the balcony, the window is ajar - everything is fine!

And that there is no smell, steam, soot during conservation? There are many!

And tell me please, does the green onion remain during drying, does not turn yellow? And how does it taste? I remember when I tried to air dry. it becomes tasteless like straw. And the dill is also without a special smell, so the greens in the soup are floating.

All fresh and dried products (vegetables and fruits) are a matter of personal taste
Therefore, it will be difficult to tell you about the taste of dried onions

Green onions turn brown, but dark green, dries well!

As a rule, such onions are added to hot, thermally processed dishes, during cooking.

It can also be blended with dried celery, garlic, and other vegetables.

I know what can be added to the dough when kneading the dough

All fresh and dried products (vegetables and fruits) are a matter of personal taste

I agree 100%!
Personally, I hear the smell of dried dill a mile away and I, excuse me, smell unhealthy with socks ... I don't like dried dill in anything. I ice it. But the onion - both leek and onion - gives such a delicate smell, you just get sniffed :)

I was tempted by sun-dried tomatoes It’s been standing for an hour already, and I have to dry them, and I didn’t understand Bandurka buzzing quite loudly - it’s already working on my head - so everyone has or is my worthless

Duc depending on which dryer and which tomatoes are juicy or fleshy. The bandura buzzing ... People who have the opportunity to bring it into distant rooms.

Cream tomatoes, quite well-fed Alaska - I bought it for trial

I agree 100%!
Personally, I hear the smell of dried dill a mile away and I, excuse me, smell unhealthy with socks ... I don't like dried dill in anything. I ice it. But the onion - both leek and onion - gives such a delicate smell, you just get sniffed :)

Until a certain point, I also did not tolerate dry dill. It froze too. Only I cut it finely, then put it in ice molds and fill it with cold boiled water and into the freezer. And then I throw the dice. Smell like fresh dill you use!
And then the idea of ​​what to dry, as my son says, any grass, can be brought in an electric dryer by Admin with her gallery of dried blanks. The very brains did not have enough to finish this. Just the other day I dried it in an electric dryer, I was surprised myself - the smell is completely different! It smells of dill and not as if you go on the subway with some kind of vuika nearby. I was pleasantly surprised!

The bandura buzzing quite loudly - it already affects the head - so everyone or my worthless

Mine is humming too. Well, I leave her in the kitchen, there she only gets our zoo. Well, apparently, they are not very concerned about it.

Good evening to all members of the forum. Today I bought a Zelmer dryer, there was no limit to my joy (before that, she was the mistress of the Baemen dryer). But the joy was short-lived. After two hours of operation in the second mode (300 W), the top pan was only at room temperature. And it is such an impression that the first and second modes operate at almost the same temperature. The temperature measurement (under the bottom pan, almost at the fan itself) showed: 1 mode - 45 degrees, 2 mode - 53 degrees. Who uses the Zelmer dryer, RESPOND !!!! What should be the temperature and where such information can be found. And your impressions, is 2 mode effective?
