===Secar al sol===
La comida puede ser secada al sol, pero solo si las temperaturas son cerca de 100° F (38° C) y la humedad es baja. La fruta debe ser cubierta con una gasa (o algo similar) para protegerla de los insectos. Si se seca sobre una mesa, las patas de la mesa deben establecerse en latas de agua para evitar que los insectos suban por las piernas y lleguen a la fruta. La fruta se tardará varios días en secarse, y la humedad y otras condiciones climáticas deben ser monitoreadas. Si la temperatura baja considerablemente durante la noche, el rocío puede formar y la fruta lo absorberá rápidamente. Debido a esto, puede ser necesario entrar las frutas por la noche.

===Secar al horno===
Esta es la manera más rápida para secar los alimentos, pero sólo pequeñas cantidades a la vez se pueden secar de esta manera. El horno se precalienta hasta aproximadamente 140° F (60° C) y la comida se coloca en bandejas en el horno. La puerta debe estar abierta alrededor de dos pulgadas (5 cm) para un horno de gas, o alrededor de 4 pulgadas (10 cm) para un horno eléctrico. Un termómetro se coloca en el centro de la bandeja para asegurarse de que la temperatura se mantiene cerca de 140° F (60° C). Un ventilador debe colocarse cerca de la puerta del horno abierta para que el aire dentro del horno pueda circular y permitir que la humedad se escape.

Las bandejas de comida deben ser rotadas cada 30 minutos para que el calor dentro del horno no se distribuya de manera uniforme. Gire las bandejas de adelante hacia atrás, de arriba a abajo y de izquierda a derecha.

===Food Dryer===
Food dryers can be purchased or home-built. They can dry more food than an oven but it takes a little longer. They also use less electricity than an electric oven. A food dryer is an enclosed box with a heat source, a fan, and a set of racks upon which the food is placed. Most home-built food dryers use a 100 watt light bulb as the heat source. It takes four to six hours to dry a batch of food in a food dryer, and like ovens, they operate at about 140°F (60°C).

You can build your own food dryer by lining a cardboard box with Styrofoam insulation, and then covering the Styrofoam with aluminum foil. Alternately, you can use insulation board with the foil already attached (this is available at most home improvement stores). It is very important that you line the insulation with foil, as this reflects the heat away from the insulation which would otherwise melt. Make an insulated lid for the box as well, but leave a gap at one end for moisture to escape.

The next thing you will need is a light fixture. Use a simple porcelain base, and mount it to a steel ceiling box (both of these are available in the electrical section of a hardware store). If desired, you can also use the thermostat from a water heater to control the temperature. These thermostats are generally settable between {{units|40°C- 65°C|100°F-150°F}} - you will want to set it to {{units|60°C|140°F}}. If you buy a deep ceiling box, you can mount the thermostat inside it, but make sure it makes good contact with the ceiling box so that heat is conducted to it. If you cannot mount the thermostat inside the box you will need to cover the terminals, as they will both carry household voltage (which is enough to kill a person who comes in contact with it).

The last item you will need is an extension cord. Cut the "female" end of it off and throw it away. Make a hole in box and poke the cut end through. Then run it through an opening in the ceiling box. Strip the ends of the wire and connect them to the porcelain light fixture. Tighten the clamp on the ceiling box to hold the extension cord in place. Screw in a 100 Watt bulb and plug in the cord. If the light does not turn on, unplug and check your wiring.

If you opt to use a thermostat, wire the "hot" wire on the extension cord (this is the one that connects to the narrower of the two blades on the plug) to either terminal of the thermostat. Run a wire from the remaining terminal of the thermostat to the light fixture. The neutral wire (connected to the wide blade of the plug) should be connected to the remaining terminal on the light fixture.

Finally, mount the fixture inside the insulated box and rig up a rack to hold your food trays. Keep a close eye on it the first time you use it.

If you do not use a thermostat, place a thermometer inside the box and keep an eye on it. You can control the temperature by varying the width of the gap in the lid, or by using a different wattage light bulb.

===Freeze Dry===

You can't do this at home, but if food is frozen then placed in a vacuum chamber and heat is applied you can freeze dry the food. In freeze drying the water in the food goes directly from solid to vapour state without passing through the liquid state. This allows the water to escape without doing as much damage to the cell structure of the food. The result is a food that looks less shrunken and tastes more like fresh.

===Spray Dry===

A spray dryer takes a liquid stream and separates the solute or suspension as a solid and the solvent into a vapor. The solid is usually collected in a drum or cyclone. The liquid input stream is sprayed through a nozzle into a hot vapor stream and vaporised. Solids form as moisture quickly leaves the droplets. A nozzle is usually used to make the droplets as small as possible, maximising heat transfer and the rate of water vaporisation. Droplet sizes can range from 20 to 180 μm depending on the nozzle.

Spray dryers can dry a product very quickly compared to other methods of drying. They also turn a solution, or slurry into a dried powder in a single step, which can be advantageous for profit maximization and process simplification. Powdered milk, tea and coffee are common product that are spray dried.

===Drum Drying===

Drum drying is a method used for drying out liquids; for example, milk is applied as a thin film to the surface of a heated drum, and the dried milk solids are then scraped off with a knife. Powdered milk made by drum drying tends to have a cooked flavor, due to caramelization caused by greater heat exposure.

Compared to spray drying, drum drying is a more intense heat treatment which results in more denatured proteins. The powder is less soluble as a result. The temperature uniformity of the heated roller/drum is poor so spray drying results in better quality milk powder.

Other products where drum drying may be used: starches, breakfast cereals, baby food, and instant mashed potatoes.

Commercially prepared dried fruit may contain sulfur dioxide which can trigger asthma in sensitive individuals, though dried fruit without sulfur dioxide is also available, particularly in health stores. The sulphur is added to "fix" the colour of the product. "Organic" dried fruit is produced without sulphur which results in dark fruit and the flavor is much more characteristic of the fresh fruit. The color of some fruits can also be "fixed" to some extent, with minimal impact on flavor, by treating the freshly cut fruit with a preparation rich in Vitamin C (e.g., a mixture of water and lemon juice) for a few minutes prior to drying.

Sulphuring fruit is accomplished by burning a block of sulphur in an enclosed box (such as a dehydrator) with the fruit inside. The burning sulphur gives off sulphur dioxide which fixes the color of the fruit. This should only be done outside.

As soon as it cools, dried fruit should be packed into insect-proof containers, such as glass jars or metal cans with tight-fitting lids. Do not let sulphured fruit touch metal, as this will cause the fruit to become discolored. You can pack fruit into plastic bags and then place that in a metal container. Plastic bags are not 100% insect (or rodent) proof, so make sure you store the fruit in a place where they cannot get to it. A cool, dry place is best.

The fruit must be ripe, or slightly overripe. Be sure to use good quality fruit, as it will make good quality fruit leather. Select fruit that is fresh, and fully sound - basically, the same things you look for when selecting fruit for the table. Cut out any bad parts of the fruit. The saying, "one bad apple spoils the whole lot" applies to fruit leather, as a bad piece of fruit can impart a bad flavor to any of the fruit it comes into contact with. In making fruit leather, the fruit is pureed before drying, so the bad fruit will come into contact with ''all'' the fruit.

Bread can be dried without the use of special equipment by placing several slices in a large bowl and covering it with a towel. The bowl should be kept indoors. After several days, the bread will be dry (also known as "stale") and it can then be crumbled. You can also dry bread quickly in a food dryer. Just cut it up into bite sized chunks.

The usual use for bread crumbs is to make stuffing. You may use any stuffing recipe you like (as long as it uses bread crumbs), or you can use this one:

You can also use your dried bread as homemade croutons to toss on a salad.

Wash the fruit and puree it in a food processor. Line a shallow pan with wax paper, being sure to bring the edges up so that the pureed fruit cannot run under it. Pour the fruit puree into the pan until it is about a quarter inch deep (0.6 cm). Place it in the food dryer set to 140°F (60°C). Check it after four hours (but it may take much longer). Remove the fruit when it is tacky to the touch. Remove it and the wax paper from the pan and slice into thin strips, leaving the wax paper attached. Roll the strips (and wax paper) into a spiral and place in a sealable plastic bag. Store in a cool dry place. Fruit leather can be stored for up to six months.

You can make vegetable leather from just about any type of vegetable so long as it is pureed first. A shortcut is to use baby food as the starting point, and then proceed as with fruit leather. Here are two other recipes (in case your Pathfinders rebel at the thought of eating baby food).

====Pumpkin Leather====
* 2 cups of canned pumpkin, or 2 cups of fresh pumpkin, cooked and pureed.
* 1/2 cup honey
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (powdered)
* 1/4 teaspoon cloves (powdered)

Combine ingredients and dry at 140°F (60°C) (same as for fruit leather).

====Tomato Leather====
Core and slice ripe tomatoes into quarters. Boil for 15 minutes. Remove from water, force through a colander or a sieve. Add salt (if desired for flavoring), and simmer until thick. Spread on a plastic or wax paper lined tray and dry at 140°F (60°C) (same as for fruit leather).

Most fruits need to be pretreated before they are dried. Apples should be cored, peeled, and sliced. Fruits with pits (such as peaches, nectarines, and cherries) should be split in half and pitted.

Thin slices of fruit dry quicker than thick slices, so it is important to slice fruit into uniform thicknesses so that it dries evenly.

Fruit with thick, waxy skins (such as blueberries and cherries) must be ''cracked'' before it is dried. Cracking the skin allows the moisture to escape. To crack the fruit, drop it in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, and then quickly move it to very cold water.

Some fruits, such as apples, pears, and apricots become discolored quickly after they are peeled and sliced. To prevent them from turning brown, mix two teaspoons of ascorbic acid in one cup of water, and dip the fruit in this solution as you work with it. One cup of this solution should be enough to treat five quarts of fruit. Ascorbic acid (more commonly known as Vitamin C) is available in most drug stores. You can also crush a 500mg tablet of Vitamin C and mix that with a quart (one liter) of water. Soak the fruit in that solution for two to three minutes.

Once the fruit has been prepared, arrange it in a single layer on a drying tray with the cut side up (if cut in half). Finally, place the trays in a food dryer, and wait. The amount of time varies depending on the fruit, how thick the slices are, et cetera. It should take between four and ten hours to dry.

Select ripe, high quality vegetables. Cut out any bad spots, discard overripe pieces, and slice into thin, uniform pieces (unless you are starting with small vegetables such as peas).

Nearly all vegetables need to be blanched before they are dried. Blanching stops enzymes from destroying the vegetables. Drying by itself does ''not'' stop the enzyme action. To blanch vegetables, drop them in boiling water for a minute or two. Then cool them in ice water for the same amount of time that they were blanched. Blanching does remove some nutrients from the vegetables, so be sure to blanch them for only the minimum specified time (see table).

Arrange the vegetables on a drying tray in a single layer. Place the trays in the dryer at 140°F (60°C) with a minimum of one inch between trays. Drying will take between four and twelve hours. Turn the vegetable pieces every thirty minutes and rearrange them on the tray so that they are dried evenly (different areas on the trays will dry at different rates). The pieces are dry when they are hard and brittle. You can test them by striking a piece with a hammer. If it shatters, the vegetable is dry.

The saying, "one bad apple spoils the whole lot" applies to fruit leather, as a bad piece of fruit can impart a bad flavor to any of the fruit it comes into contact with.  In making fruit leather, the fruit is pureed before drying, so the bad fruit will come into contact with ''all'' the fruit.
+La fruta debe estar madura o un poco demasiada madura. Asegúrese de usar frutas de buena calidad. Seleccione frutas que están frescas y totalmente sanas - básicamente, las mismas cosas que busca al seleccionar frutas para la mesa. Corte las partes malas de la fruta. El dicho, «una manzana podrida arruina las demás» se aplica a las frutas dehidratas, como una mala pieza de fruta puede impartir un mal sabor a cualquiera de las frutas que toca. En deshidratar frutas, la fruta se hace puré antes de secadarse, entonces la fruta mala tocará a ''todas'' las frutas.

-===Food Dryer===
+===Secador de Alimentos===
-Food dryers can be purchased or home-built.  They can dry more food than an oven but it takes a little longer.  They also use less electricity than an electric oven.  A food dryer is an enclosed box with a heat source, a fan, and a set of racks upon which the food is placed.  Most home-built food dryers use a 100 watt light bulb as the heat source.  It takes four to six hours to dry a batch of food in a food dryer, and like ovens, they operate at about 140°F (60°C).
+Secadores de comida se pueden comprar construir. Pueden secar más alimentos que un horno, pero se necesita un poco más de tiempo. También utilizan menos electricidad que un horno eléctrico. Un secador de alimentos es una caja cerrada con una fuente de calor, un ventilador y un conjunto de bandejas donde se coloca los alimentos. La mayoría de las secadoras de alimentos hechas en casa utilizan una bombilla de 100 vatios como la fuente de calor. Se tarda de 4 a 6 horas para secar una tanda de alimentos en un secador de comida y, como los hornos,  operan a aproximadamente 140° F (60° C).
-You can build your own food dryer by lining a cardboard box with Styrofoam insulation, and then covering the Styrofoam with aluminum foil.  Alternately, you can use insulation board with the foil already attached (this is available at most home improvement stores).  It is very important that you line the insulation with foil, as this reflects the heat away from the insulation which would otherwise melt.  Make an insulated lid for the box as well, but leave a gap at one end for moisture to escape.

-The next thing you will need is a light fixture.  Use a simple porcelain base, and mount it to a steel ceiling box (both of these are available in the electrical section of a hardware store).  If desired, you can also use the thermostat from a water heater to control the temperature.  These thermostats are generally settable between {{units|40°C- 65°C|100°F-150°F}} - you will want to set it to {{units|60°C|140°F}}.  If you buy a deep ceiling box, you can mount the thermostat inside it, but make sure it makes good contact with the ceiling box so that heat is conducted to it.  If you cannot mount the thermostat inside the box you will need to cover the terminals, as they will both carry household voltage (which is enough to kill a person who comes in contact with it).
+{{clear}}
-The last item you will need is an extension cord.  Cut the "female" end of it off and throw it away.  Make a hole in box and poke the cut end through.  Then run it through an opening in the ceiling box.  Strip the ends of the wire and connect them to the porcelain light fixture.  Tighten the clamp on the ceiling box to hold the extension cord in place.  Screw in a 100 Watt bulb and plug in the cord.  If the light does not turn on, unplug and check your wiring.
+{{clear}}
-If you opt to use a thermostat, wire the "hot" wire on the extension cord (this is the one that connects to the narrower of the two blades on the plug) to either terminal of the thermostat.  Run a wire from the remaining terminal of the thermostat to the light fixture.  The neutral wire (connected to the wide blade of the plug) should be connected to the remaining terminal on the light fixture.
+{{clear}}
-Finally, mount the fixture inside the insulated box and rig up a rack to hold your food trays.  Keep a close eye on it the first time you use it.

-If you do not use a thermostat, place a thermometer inside the box and keep an eye on it.  You can control the temperature by varying the width of the gap in the lid, or by using a different wattage light bulb.

-===Freeze Dry===
+{{clear}}
-You can't do this at home, but if food is frozen then placed in a vacuum chamber and heat is applied you can freeze dry the food. In freeze drying the water in the food goes directly from solid to vapour state without passing through the liquid state. This allows the water to escape without doing as much damage to the cell structure of the food. The result is a food that looks less shrunken and tastes more like fresh.
