How to Convection Dehydrate on a Viking Range

Place a cooling rack into a baking pan which allows for air flow from the Viking convection oven to circulate on all sides of the food, speeding drying. The baking pan catches any food which might fall through the slots on the drying rack.

Arrange the food in a single layer on the cooling rack.

Set the temperature control to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Press the button for "Convection Bake" or the switch to turn on the convection oven fan.

Check the food after the time prescribed in your drying recipe. Fruits become fully dry when leathery and vegetables are dry when they become crisp and brittle.
