PROBLEM SOLVING
PROBLEM: Moisture in the storage container.
CAUSE: Incomplete Drying.
Food is cut unevenly, causing incomplete or uneven drying.
Drying foods left at room temperature too long after cooling,
allows moisture to re-enter the foods.
PREVENTION:Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from
the Dehydrator.
Cut foods evenly.
Cool quickly and package immediately in an air-tight container.

The food was not checked for moisture content within a week.
The storage container is not air-tight.
The storage temperature is too warm.
Case hardening may have occurred, meaning the food was dried
at too high of a temperature and the food was only dry on the
outside, not the inside.
PREVENTION:Test several pieces of food for dryness before removing it from
the Dehydrator.
