Drying time and temperature

[Chantal]

Chantal ! Here's what they write: Plants - 35-40 *, greens -40 *, bread -40-45 *, yogurt 45 *, vegetables -50-55 *, fruits-55-60 *, meat, fish-65-75 *. The drying time depends on the thickness of the pieces and is 2 hours for parsley, 3 for mushrooms, everything else - from 4 to 36 hours, depending on the type of product.

Yes, that's understandable. I don’t understand how you can accurately calculate the time. I understand, put on 10 o'clock, look / check, for another three hours, then another half hour. And in order to immediately decide that this will be ready in XXX hours ... you can only do it from the twentieth time.

Is it possible to interrupt the drying time?
Suppose they dried the cherries overnight, in the morning they are still damp, the dryer was turned off, the cherry is in it, if you dry it in the evening, - will there be nothing with the cherry?

Nothing will happen, only drying will take longer. Sometimes even this method of interruption gives a positive result, in certain cases.

Thank you!
and if in a different way to postpone: peel the cherries in the refrigerator, and after 20 hours put them to dry? (or ask about it not in this thread ...)

Of course, not in this one, but I will answer)

And if the cherry gives a lot of juice during this time? On the contrary, we need to get rid of excess moisture so that the berries dry out better, because the dried fruits are ready, when the juice is gone from them, then they will be stored without problems.

Try it yourself, your own experience always teaches. In the section there are recipes for drying and drying cherries, see there tips

Oh, well there the question
