Food Prep
Enhanced Food Dehydrator Performance
This article explores a key issue of food preparation for food dehydrators and how a few simple steps can create perfect results with any dehydrator. While there are many different foods that can be dried, focus here will concentrate on those foods that require some sort of slicing, fruits, vegetables, and meats, being the most common.
Uniformity is key to having food dry in a consistent manner. Getting your food to a consistent thickness therefore, allows for uniform drying, and that means food comes out of the dehydrator properly dried, and ready to eat. The emphasis here, is on properly dried. Meat is a good example of making sure your food cuts are uniform. A piece of meat three quarters inch thick on one side, and one quarter inch thick on the other, will not dry properly in any food dehydrator.
Uniform thickness pays dividends with food storage also. Whether you use a vacuum sealer, air tight jars, or freeze it, the more consistent the thickness of the food, the easier food storage becomes.
A food slicer is a great tool for consistent food prep. There are many available designed for home use. However, you can do a good job with a sharp knife. I prefer a Chef's knife as the large blade provides stability when making individual slices. Additionally, it is a great help to partially freeze food, especially meat, to the point of good stiffness, yet not frozen hard, before slicing. You do not get good results with uniform slices if meat is frozen hard and you attempt to slice during the thaw-out phase. Understandably, not all fruits and veggies can withstand even partial freezing without sustaining damage.
A good way for fruits and vegetables to be prepared for the food dehydrator is running them through a food grinder. Snacks, rollups, and nut bars loaded with great nutrition can easily be dried with the issue of thickness solved when prepared with a food grinder then spread out evenly on a non-stick drying sheet.
In summary your food dehydrator will perform better by preparing food that is cut with uniform thickness, whether done with a food slicer, or a good sharp knife. While food dehydrators may work different on an individual basis, consistent thickness in food preparation remain key, to the results you are looking for.

What are the legal requires for employees on a food Prep/handling area?
Example: hair nets, caps or visors.
What about shorts, socks.....things like that. I want to know what is required by law....not what the company may want.
In this case, it actually doesn't matter what the law is, because I guarantee you, no company will ever have requirements less strict than the law.
My last place of work had a uniform that included black work or dress pants which were not jeans. We did not allow yoga pants to qualify as black work pants. I'm sure that there is no law prohibiting yoga pants in food service areas. Doesn't mean we allow them. And just because there may be no law requiring headgear, doesn't mean you don't have to wear it. You'll just a) get zero scheduled hours per week, or b) you'll be documented about three times for not being in uniform/required clothing. Then fired.
You want to keep working wherever you do? Stop arguing about dress requirements and follow them. When you start your own company, wear whatever you want.
