2) number of trays with food being dried
3) volume of food being dried
4) moisture or humidity in your environment
5) your preferences of drying for each type of dried food

lCheck your food every hour.
lLabel food with contents dried, date and weight before drying. It will also be helpful to note the drying
time for future reference.
