Evermat sisältää neljä kuivaustasoa. Lisävarusteina voi laitteeseen ostaa ja lisätä kaksi kuivaustasoa ( ei vaikuta kuivausaikaan tai lämpötilaan). Lämpötila on säädettävissä termostaatilla 0-60°C välillä. Laitteessa on myös aikakello, jolla kone käynnistetään ja säädetään kuivausaika 0-12 tuntia. Käyttöohjeissa kuivatuslämpötila alle 5mm paksuisille renkaille on 50°C ja kuivaus ajan arvioidaan olevan noin 5 tuntia. (Käyttöohje)

You can dry shiitake mushrooms using all the drying methods above, but people commonly air-dry or dehydrate them. Once rehydrated, you can use the mushrooms in the same way as you would fresh mushrooms, and they’re ideal for: Rehydrate your dried mushrooms by placing them in a heat-proof bowl, covering them with boiling water and letting them soak for 20 to 30 minutes. I love an appliance with an adjustable thermostat because you can ensure it fits your needs. After all, the temperature needed to dry your mushrooms may be different from the temperature needed to dry your fruit. But dehydration involves removing water using artificial heat and controlled temperature, humidity and airflow.Dried mushrooms will usually turn out OK no matter what method is used, but for best results, there’s an art to it [i]. People have used wind and sun to air-dry foods naturally since ancient times, and this is an equipment-free method of drying mushrooms. Kannattaa muistaa, että on olemassa myös muita kuivausvaihtoehtoja jotka eivät vaadi erillisiä laitteita. Kotona kuivaaminen onnistuu esimerkiksi saunassa ja hyödyntämällä kodin muita lämmönlähteitä kuten lattialämmitystä, huoneilman lämpöä tai vaikkapa jääkaapin päällysosaa. Tutkittavaksi jääkin, millainen lopputulos näillä kuivaustavoilla saavutetaan?

Magic” mushrooms have the same biochemical effects, for better or worse, fresh as dried. The reason to dry them is so that they’ll last longer, just like with other mushrooms. As for legality, until 2005, in Britain psilocybin mushrooms were only illegal after they were processed in some way, which could have been interpreted to mean that fresh ‘shrooms were fine—but the law has since changed. Larger, meatier mushrooms dry exceptionally well, and some mushrooms have textures and flavors ideally suited to drying.The product weights 8 pounds to create a lightweight appliance, which makes it easy to move it to another spot as needed. You may need to move it to create more space for cooking or cleaning around the appliance, or maybe you are rearranging your kitchen.

Those who are looking for a lightweight appliance to dehydrate smaller quantities of food at a time. Then rinse the mushrooms under running water and pat them with a kitchen towel to dry them.

When frozen, transfer them directly to freeze dryer trays for freeze drying or store them in freezer bags until you are ready to freeze dry them. This isn’t an exhaustive list, of course. All you really need for drying mushrooms is some heat and/or air circulation so use your imagination if you need to. Here are some other methods:It takes longer to dry mushrooms naturally, and in areas with more than 60% humidity you’ll need to be careful as mold may begin to grow on your mushrooms. 4. Using a Freeze Dryer If you are using the mushrooms for food toppings or mix ins, it's best if you serve your mushrooms immediately. However, if using in a cold food or salad, let the mushrooms cool first. One of the ways to air dry mushrooms is using a container, like a mesh colander, that allows air to circulate all around them.

You can easily toss mushrooms with a pasta dish like fettuccini alfredo, or beef stroganoff. They can make a delicious pasta meal even more heartier and filling. Drying and dehydrating processes both involve removing water from mushrooms; the difference is how you extract the water.

Everyone from mycophiles who love foraging for wild mushrooms to enthusiasts who grow their own mushrooms can preserve surplus fresh mushrooms by drying them.
