Dried watermelon made easy!

the girls got a not very sweet watermelon. is it worth drying it?

[Natochka]

is it worth drying it?

Have no doubt, Natochka !!!

In general, they brought me a 15 kg watermelon today. Sugar delicious but very big. I cut them into pieces, put them in the dryer. let's see what happens. the aroma is very pleasant By the results, unsubscribe

I never thought that watermelon can be dried, I should try ...

The taste of dried watermelon is very unusual, very sweet (even from not at all sweet watermelon) and very concentrated or something! Yes,
may not be to everyone's taste. But very tasty with coffee. We bought a watermelon, huge, sugar, but not very sweet. Stood, stood in the refrigerator, even began to wither. As a result, I ended up in the dryer. Even thin plates do not dry quickly, I also turned them over when the slices were already very dry. Honestly, there was nothing to store, they took it away instantly. To have something to store, watermelons need to dry out a lot. There is no photograph of a dried watermelon alone, the marshmallow is attached to the side.

Dried watermelon tastes original. Something reminiscent of cotton candy with a watermelon flavor, in general, fruit sweets turned out. For the sake of pampering, you can try to dry. The family liked it. Although when I put it in the dryer they looked at me including the cat with suspicion. Like completely crazy. During drying, a very pleasant aroma is in the apartment. I cut the bones with different thickness plates. You can easily remove them and then. Next time I'll cut it into thin slices. because it dries for a long time, and even large pieces.

Vio, Thanks for the recipe. I tested it, cut it into thin slices, dries in this form not for very long, Daughter who does not like watermelons and therefore does not eat them (I don’t know why) tried it and said deliciously, you can take it to school (carries food with you) and dry. I regret that I didn’t see the recipe before, it wasn’t a sweet watermelon, half of it was thrown away, so it would have worked out fine from it, but from what I dried it was sooooo sweet for me. Outwardly beautiful and unusual. (I dried the melon, I didn't like it, but dried with zest is fine

[Girls]

Girls, and you can dry the watermelon in the Hagh mode, 60 gr. ?

Or 50-55 gr. optimal temperature for drying watermelon?

Or 50-55 gr. optimal temperature for drying watermelon

But I didn't hesitate to turn on the maximum speed and that's it (it may not be correct, the first test batch dried quickly, but then became soft, didn't read it to the end, didn't put it away in the cold. The second time took longer, but all the trays were full there. I put it in a box and closed it tightly, and I left it with chips, though it was sooooo little, because I had to cut it in half ... tobish, having tried, I was asked to give it to take away .... Now I cut dry and again.

Girls, and I have it stuck tightly to the grates, what should I do?

what to do then?

neatly try to remove what is being removed (for the first time on one it was like that, it turned out a lot that stuck to death -) in general, during drying, I turned it over once just so that it would not stick, if you cut it sooo thin, it sticks quickly

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, thanks for scraping it off with a spatula, set the rest to sour.

[Lenochka]

Lenochka, well, you must (...

And I really like to remove dried watermelon slices from the grates).

I never thought that they could stick tightly.

It is too late to give advice, but you could try to leave them alone for a while. After lying down, they could well separate from the grate.

Girls, you need to turn the watermelon halfway through, while the slices are still flexible, otherwise it can grab onto it tightly, and then some of it will go to the trash can.

[Innochka]

Innochka, I left it overnight, and in the morning I still could not tear it off, next time I will cut it thicker and turn it over halfway.

but somehow the marshmallow didn't work

Angela, did you get the marshmallow? I do not believe!!!!!!!

[Nat]

you need to turn the watermelon halfway

Nat, that's how much dry land, I never turned it over.

Filmed with a bang!

next time I'll cut it thicker

I chop on Burner).

Bladeless insert, maximum thickness.

[Inna]

on Burner I cut).

Inna, I don’t have entoy stuff.

Kroshik, do you have the same pallets - diamond-hole ones?
I think it also depends on the watermelon. Soft ones are glued into the lattice of pallets, while dense crispy ones lie on the surface and are removed more easily.
When I'm too lazy to turn over, I also have to pick out



For Burner, a separate grand merci!

dense crispy ones lie on the surface and are removed more easily.

Here are dense and crispy, and stuck tightly to the wire rack.

I got stuck too. And halfway through it is even worse to tear off, the edges are ALREADY stuck and the pieces are torn. I dried it in the oven, it turned out to be a rather quick process. Best of all on a teflon sheet it turned out and it's easier to tear off dry ones

To prevent the watermelon from sticking tightly to the tray or tray on which you are drying, it is imperative to put a special mesh under it, as in Isidri, or Teflon "for baking and grilling". That is, the mesh should initially have anti-stick properties.
