Raw Food PANCAKES! & double-checking the temperature

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheree,

Even with equipment with temperature settings their calibration can be way off

sometimes, so when its important I always double-check to see what temperature

really is.

 

You could get a basic indoor/outdoor thermometer and use that to see what the

lower temperature setting of the dehydrator really is.

 

I'm talking about the kind of thermometer that is a glass tube on a piece of

plastic about 2 inches wide by 8 inches tall that hangs on a wall, and costs a

few dollars. They go up to about 130 degrees, so this should be fine for

checking on dehydrating raw food that shouldn't ever go above 115 degrees.

Usually they are accurate within a couple degrees, so this will be plenty good

enough to get an idea of temperature ranges for raw food drying.

 

You could just lay the thermometer flat on the dehydrator tray, leave it there

for several minutes, and then pull it out and quickly read it before it cools

off. I'd try leaving the thermometer in there for different lengths of time to

find out how long it takes to warm up. If it hadn't warmed up to the tray

temperature, then you might be drying the food at too hot a temperature.

 

If the dehydrator has a thermostat that cycles a heating element on and off, you

might want to try making a bunch of readings to see how hot it gets at the upper

end of the on cycle.

 

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter,

Roger
