There are many ways to harvest apples for the winter. Most often, the fruits are converted into sweet boiled masses (jam, jams, jams, etc.) or dried fruits. The last option is chosen, as a rule, if a large crop of apples is harvested. How to carry out work quickly, while preserving as many useful substances in the fruits as possible? A modern device - aerogrill, which can successfully replace the oven, will come to the rescue. What are the features of fruit harvesting in this way? How is the stepwise drying of apples in an air grill carried out? You will find answers to these and other questions in this article.
Benefits of Air Drying
You may have previously had to dry apples in the open air or in the oven. Given the experience gained, it will be much easier to evaluate the benefits of a modern miracle stove. We list two main advantages of using an air grill for harvesting any fruit.
- Significantly saved time. If it took at least 2-3 days to obtain dried fruits by airing in the open air in summer hot weather, then in a grill the slices are brought to readiness in 50-70 minutes.
- The product is completely ready for use. Before laying apples for drying on the street, the fruits, as a rule, are not pre-washed. Therefore, then before use they have to be doused with boiling water and rinsed thoroughly. Drying apples in an air grill requires that fruit pieces be washed before laying. Due to this, after cooking, the product is immediately immediately ready for use and does not require any processing. It can be eaten immediately after being removed from the grill.
What else is useful and how is the drying of apples in the air grill?
Fast food preparation is obtained by blowing hot air from all sides. A fan located inside the air grill ensures constant circulation. The air evenly heats up to very high temperatures. Since cooking is much faster than even in the oven, the content of nutrients in apples remains almost the same as in fresh ones. Pieces become thinner, shrinking. When dried, apples lose 84% of their original mass. This property is very important if you need to prepare a large mass of fruit. The resulting product not only becomes very light, but also has a significantly smaller volume from the original, which simplifies its storage from a practical point of view. Let’s take a closer look at how apples are dried in Hotter air grills. The description is presented as a walkthrough.
How to dry apples in Hotter aerogrill?
1. Sort the fruits, selecting only high-quality and ripe. Do not use damaged or wormy apples for drying.
2. Rinse the fruit thoroughly.
3. Cut them into thin circles or slices, removing the core. Drying apples in an air grill in the form of whole fruits will allow you to get a baked sweet dessert.
4. Spread the ground mass on the wire racks not very tightly. It is necessary that there is a small space between the pieces for better air circulation.
5. Select a low speed blow mode. The temperature should be between 100-110 ° C. It will take about an hour.
6. It is very important that the product is fully cooked. If the apples appear to you to be slightly mature when removed, put them in the air grill for another 10-12 minutes.
7. Store the blank in paper bags or tight-fitting glass jars.
8. To cook whole baked apples , halve the time. Very slightly dried fruits with honey and nuts inside turn out very tasty.
