FOUR TYPICAL DRYERS FOR THE KITCHEN STOVE

by means Of the water bath, prevents burning
or scorching, and, as suggested is ideal for the
pastes made by cooking the vegetables, putting
them through the grinder and then drying
and regrinding for fours if desired.

comparative test was made in the Insti.
tute which indicated that the efficiency of tia
dryers was about the same. The choice really
depends on the kitchen equipment with which
the dryer must be used, the space available
and the amount and kind Of drying to be done.
Thirty ounces of shelled peas were blanched
four minutes in live steam, then drained and
equal amounts placed in single layers On each
of the three dryers, i. e.. the Granger, the YER
tical dryer, and the oven dryer. The coal
stove dryer was not tested in this way.
The initial drying temperature was 10
degrees Fahrenheit. With the oven dryer only
the pilot light, turned very low, was needed
throughout the operation. The vertical dryer
required. the gas turned as low as possible.
After the water in the Granger, under the
drying surface, reached $50 to 100 degrees F..
giving surface temperature of ITO degrees,
can be used
The temperature was gradually raised to
145 degrees, and in three hours the peas were
dried. No increase of gas is necessary to
effect this. The difficulty is in keeping the
temperature down. This is done by regulating
the drafts, turning down the gas, or pouring
cold water into the Granger when the gas is
as low as possible. The peas lost from 70 to
Is per cent of their weight, and the time of
drying and the weight lost were about the same
with each dryer.

necessary length of time. e., three to four
hours at least and maybe five or six. Of
course, the period of drying could be broken
and resumed. If the gas range is your only
source of heat for drying these four galvan-
lied wire cloth trays (151a inches squarc),
with short supports that fit one upon the
other, will slip into the oven, can be readily
removed, or shifted, and so make oven drying
easy,
There is hinged metal plate which fits
along the bottom edge Of the oven and runs up
the right side, acting as a stop to keep the
door ajar.
The four trays of this dryer give a total
drying surface of 81 square feet. This
arrangement is convenience for drying left
overs and small amounts and exactly fits the
need of the apartment dweller or the woman
with small family who wishes to dry fruits
and vegetables throughout the season in small
amounts. If carried on steadily at odd times,

THE OLDEST METHOD OF FOOD
PRESERVATION COMES INTO
ITS OWN AGAIN

TUST because we have cold storage and
u up-to-date canning methods there is no
reason why we should despse the method
of food preservation that served the race first
and best Sun-dried corn and berries and
larger fruits, jerked meats, dried apples and
apricots and peaches, lima beans and the like
are old friends and now that space for storage
and transportation means more and more the
eyaporating Of the water from the juicy
fruits and vegetables, squeezing them down to
about one-fourth to one-tenth their original
weight, is great advantage.
While drying calls for care it is not so close
work as cannng-it takes care of itself more;
the containers are much less expensive, boxes
fibre cartons answer perfectly for the dried
products, and the storage room among all
modern cave dwellers in great cities is as
serious a problem as the bulk of transported
foods. During our canning demonstrations
at the Peoples Market in The Bronx last sum-
mer the great complaint of the women was
they could not can as much as they wanted to,
for lack of any place to store the fruits of
their labors
Some dried products are better than others,
just as some lose more than others in canning.
Corn is especially good dried, and it Is one
of the most laborious, time and gas consuming
products to can. Dried cherries, dried apples
and potatoes, any of the legumes (peas or
beans), carrots and all the soup favorings
may be proftably dried rather than canned.
Then, too, the dried vegetables are convenient
for use in soups, gravies, casserole dishes,
or, dried as pastes and ground into powder,
for purees and quick emergency use in the
winter time.
If properly dried, neither Drowned by dry

but it is not necessary to compare them with
the more expensive canned goods on this
score. They have q place of their own as
soup stock, havorings, etc. Even small COM
munlty drying plants, not deemed pretentious
enough to be called commercial ventures, will
turn out 100 pounds a day, representing
about 1000 pounds of raw products, and make
the housewives drying ventures seem very
small. But the steady conservation of small
amounts of vegetables and fruits in this way
throughout the season involves little labor and
expense and means very comforting array
of compact, tidy fibre boxes, full Of condensed
flavor and nourishment, when the high prices
and scarcity of winter come

advantage is that the moisture-laden air is
speedily removed and so the process is quick
ened. This hot wind initiates the desert con-
ditions where natural sun drying is, in vogue.
The New York Dehydrator is a rectangular,
galvanized steel box, Is inches wide IL inches
deep and "a inches high. The metal fue pipe
at the top has an adjustable damper, the
partial opening of which insures a draft and
assists in keeping the temperature down to
the proper point. The fue draft should be
half open at all times to provide circulation
of heated air. With the lower front draft
closed, the temperature will rise especially
If the fue draft is wholly closed. AS these
drafts are above the source of heat the results
are just the opposite to those ordinarily OBJ
tanned in stove.
To lower the temperature, increase the cir
culation by opening the front draft and throw
ing the fue wide open. The two hampers
must be adjusted in relation to each other
and the Thermometer closely watched, as the
temperature will rise without any increase in
the flame itself, unless the drafts are properly
managed Slow drying at low heat is the
watchword in dehydration.
The front of the dryer is hinged at the
top, serving as lift-door, and the box is COM
pletely inclosed, thus insuring thorough clean
illness, an assurance that does not ALWAYS
accompany drying. unless special care is
taken. Inside there are nine removable
screen wire trays arranged in shelves. Each
one is 10 inches square, so that IA square feet
