Yes, you can use your Ninja Foodi DualZone to dehydrate fruit. It has a dedicated DEHYDRATE function.
Here's how you set it up:
- Plug in the unit and press the POWER BUTTON. It defaults to Zone 1.
- Select the DEHYDRATE function button.
- Use the TEMP arrows to set the temperature. Recommended temperatures for fruits are typically between 125°F and 160°F.
- Use the TIME arrows to set the time. You can set time in 1-minute increments up to 1 hour. For longer dehydration, you'll need to restart the cycle.
- Press START/PAUSE to begin.
If you want to use only one basket for dehydrating, that's fine—just use a single zone. If you want to dehydrate in both baskets, you can use MATCH COOK to copy the settings from Zone 1 to Zone 2, then start both.
HEADS UP: For even drying, it's recommended to shake or rearrange the fruit during the process. To pause, select the zone, then press START/PAUSE. Press it again to resume.
