Sometimes your purees and leathers will look like they're completely dry, but they are not. If you are removing your fruit leathers from the Paraflexx sheets and they are sticking - your leather is not dry enough. If this happens - dry longer until the leather peels off easily.
Use your Excalibur Dehydrator to decrystallise honey. Honey stored for a long time may crystallize into a hard, solid mass. To liquefy it for use, place the container of honey in the dehydrator for 2 to 3 hours at 110ºF/43ºC until no crystals remain. This process will not affect the taste or nutritional value of the honey; it will be as good as fresh.
Since dried fruits are generally eaten without being rehydrated, they should not be dehydrated to the point of brittleness. Most fruits should have a 10 to 20% moisture content when dried.
