Setup and Preparation

3. Placement: Place one fruit leather sheet onto a dehydrator tray. Ensure it lays flat and fits securely within the tray's edges.
4. Prepare Mixture: Prepare your fruit puree or other liquid mixture for dehydration.

Operating Instructions: Making Fruit Leathers

Follow these steps to create fruit leathers using your COSORI Fruit Leather Roll Sheets:

1. Spread Puree: Evenly spread your prepared fruit puree onto the fruit leather sheet. Aim for a consistent thickness, typically 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3-6 mm), to ensure even drying.
2. Load Dehydrator: Carefully place the tray with the spread puree into your COSORI CFD-P101-SUS Food Dehydrator.
3. Set Temperature and Time: Refer to your COSORI Food Dehydrator's manual for recommended temperatures and drying times for fruit leathers. Typical temperatures range from 135°F to 145°F (57°C to 63°C).
4. Monitor Drying: Check the fruit leather periodically. Drying time varies based on fruit type, thickness, and dehydrator settings.
5. Test for Doneness: Fruit leather is ready when it is pliable, slightly tacky, and peels easily from the sheet without sticking. It should not be brittle or sticky to the touch.
6. Cool and Store: Once dry, allow the fruit leather to cool completely before peeling it off the sheet. Roll it up or cut it into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Hand wash the fruit leather sheets with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
• Drying: Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing.
• Storage: Store the sheets flat or rolled to prevent warping. Keep them in a clean, dry place.
• Important: These sheets are NOT dishwasher safe. High heat from dishwashers can cause damage or warping.

Troubleshooting

Sheet Does Not Lay Flat / Uneven Drying

If you experience issues with the sheet not laying flat or liquids running to one side, ensure the dehydrator tray is level and free from obstructions. Some dehydrator trays may have small protrusions or design elements that can affect how the sheet sits. Adjust the sheet's position or gently press it down to conform to the tray as much as possible. For very liquid mixtures, consider a slightly thicker spread to prevent overflow if minor unevenness persists.

Fruit Leather Sticking to Sheet

If fruit leather is sticking, it may not be fully dehydrated. Continue drying until it is pliable and easily peels away. Ensure the puree was spread evenly and not too thick in certain areas.
