How long do foods take to dry in a kitchen oven?
Vegetables, prepared and spread on drying trays, require
up to 8 hours to dry in an oven. Fruit leathers take 4
to 5 hours. Beef jerky requires about 11 hours. The
drying times for fruits are too long for oven drying to
be recommended. Never dry sulfured or sulfite-dipped
fruits in the oven because the sulfur dioxide fumes can
be irritating.
