Electrosushilnik "Ryzhik": features, instructions for use and feedback

Proper nutrition in this age, when many products do not differ qualitative composition, is especially important. Many people tend to eat only natural food grown in a natural environment. But if this is feasible in the summer and autumn periods, then in winter there are difficulties. One of the best ways to keep as many vitamins as possible in food is to dry them. Of course, the safest and natural process is carried out outdoors, but what can you do if there is no way to dry large volumes of stocks over the summer? Of course, there is a way out - to buy a dryer. Moreover, the domestic manufacturer took care that it was possible to buy such products cheaply.

Red, but not shoddy

Under the ridiculous name "Ryzhik" is known the electric dryer from the company "Petromash", which for the time of its existence in the market was able to win the love of buyers due to not too complicated management, interesting but simple design, strength of materials and practicality of application. The small size, with a metal body of carrot-colored drier "Ryzhik" is conveniently located In premises, it is easily transferred. Great for a summer residence.

General characteristics

The Ryzhik drier is one of the most famous in Russia because of its characteristics, superior to other manufacturers in a number of indices. Here are some of them:

• Metal case and pallets.
• Dimensions of the dryer: 370 x 270 x 330 mm.
• Dimensions of removable pallets: 25 x 35 cm.
• Volume: 12 liters.
• The presence of a fan inside.
• Weight of the device: 6 kg.
• Heating up to 70 ° С.
• Power: 500W.

From all this there is an ordinary electric dryer "Ryzhik", with which you can afford to make a lot of supplies for the winter.

"Red-Super"

In addition to the usual "Ryzhik", there is a dryer of even larger dimensions. The device with five pallets, adjustable air, heavier in weight than a conventional dryer, is distinguished by a strong lining material. Also, the dryer "Ryzhik-super" has a large capacity - 800 watts. At the moment it is one of the strongest products known in Russia.

How it works?

The principle of operation of such a device, as the dryer "Ryzhik", is simple and understandable. Drying is the process by which moisture evaporates from the products. This is facilitated by the movement of warm air streams heated by TENs. The fan, built-in inside the bottom of the product, evenly distributes the air, which makes it possible to achieve a general evaporation of moisture.

The average drying time is from four and a half to twenty hours, depending on what exactly is inside. As a rule, not a very large number of blanks are placed on one pallet, so if you need to make a lot of stocks, the best purchase will be a dryer for fruits and vegetables "Ryzhik-super".

All the charm of using this device lies in the function of controlling the flow of air, which will fall on the products. With severe weathering, vegetables, mushrooms, berries rather wither than dry, a small amount of air can lead to the taste of "boiled" berries and vegetables.

In the household plan, the "Ryzhik" dryer is not dangerous: it is equipped with a thermal switch, which stops the dryer in case of overheating. Inside there are also dividers, which distribute air and remove moisture, thus, condensation does not form.

What can I dry?

Many people read the annotations and remarks when buying the product, according to which some vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, etc. can not be used in electric dryers. In fact, this is a misconception: all electric driers are similar in design and parameters, and therefore they can easily accommodate various products .

Usually for drying for the winter use:

• healing herbs;
• fruit;
• vegetables;
• Berries;
• Mushrooms;
• meat;
• Some species of fish;
• Bark of trees (for medical purposes);
• Inflorescence of plants.

The entire list of products can be easily mastered by the dryer. There are no restrictions and rules per se on food. With a dryer you need to apply according to what is written in her instructions.

Dry vegetables and fruits

Each product placed in the machine requires careful preparation and care. For example, if the drier for vegetables "Ryzhik" contains vegetables, then before use they must be rinsed, wiped dry with a rag, cut into pieces and put the fruit on a pallet. The time for drying vegetables directly depends on how much moisture there is in them. Do not put products on the pan that have a strong odor, as they will impregnate the contents of the dryer.

For many, dry fruit is an important part of a healthy diet. It is recommended to dry at the lowest temperature - 30 ° C, because at the same time biologically active substances, vitamins, minerals remain and the color does not lose color. Special care must be taken to store the product. A dry, ventilated, warm room should be used, otherwise the undried fruit (and this happens) may deteriorate. Dryer for fruit "Red" carefully relieves moisture from fruit. Low temperature conditions and a small air flow make it possible to dry fruits as gently as possible while preserving all the nutrients.

Dry mushrooms

One more favorite delicacy is dry mushrooms. Collected in the forest in the summer, they are very well preserved for the winter, if a drier for mushrooms "Ryzhik" is used. One pallet can accommodate up to 1 kg of mushrooms, which must be dried. The only thing that they do not want to do is wet them before drying. It is best before putting the mushrooms in the electric dryer, wilting them in the sun.

Healing herbs

Of course, one should not forget about health either. Collected in the summer flowers of chamomile, wormwood, rosehip leaves, nettles and even greens - all this can be useful in winter for the treatment of diseases. From dry herbs it is good to prepare broths that will help with various ailments.

The "Ryzhik" drier is intended not only for vegetables, fruits, berries and mushrooms. This multifunction device allows you to dry everything you want.

Disadvantages of the device

Of course, everywhere there is a fly in the ointment. The dryer will not be a good buy for people who consume very little food and do not run a household. With the task of evaporation of moisture from the products will cope with the usual oven, which is at home for everyone.

Those who love multifunctionality are also unlikely to be pleased with the invention of a device that has only one function. On the other hand, for mushroom pickers, residents of private houses with the availability of vegetable gardens or for cottages, this acquisition is good and useful.

From the dryer can go a lot of noise when working, so it is advisable to put it in a room where you will not hear how it works. It's all about the flow of air through the open grooves.

The device is completely made of metal, which often leads to a distortion of the case with poor handling. Pallets can deform, the case itself during transportation has a chance to get a dent, which will affect the operation of the dryer in the future.

Customer's opinion

Do you want to know if it's worth buying such a technique as the Ryzhik dryer? Reviews help determine the choice.

It is widely believed that imported dryers are much better than domestic ones. However, this is not at all the case. "Red" is time-tested, and manufacturers still do not give up the position.

If you compare it with the goods of foreign manufacturers, then "Ryzhik" has several advantages:

• Capacious pallets;
• Quality of drying;
• Speed of operation;
• Presence of a fuse;
• Airflow adjustment function;
• Power of work;
• The presence of a model with five pallets.

And what's nice: on average, the dryer costs about 3,000 rubles, which is cheaper than foreign analogues. That's what some users think about this. Many people, before they learn about Ryzhik, prefer to see the technique of a foreign manufacturer in their kitchen. Most of the reviews say that dried fruit tastes like boiled. But with "Ryzhik" the situation changes for the better: fruits do not lose color, are perfectly preserved, the taste remains rich and pleasant and, importantly, without any flavors and impurities, which happen, for example, after gas drying. On average, dried vegetables, fruits and mushrooms are stored for about three years. Quality drying increases their shelf life to five years.

Other buyers prefer to collect mushrooms in the forest with their own hands. After the house accumulates a sufficient number, it is time to save them. The simplest and most obvious solution is the drying of mushrooms for further billets. For large volumes of products, a not very expensive option, which is the "Red-Super", will do. This technique is unpretentious and can be in any part of the house, it works quietly and does not interfere. Most people, when, for example, the mushroom season ends, they start using the product for other purposes. Interestingly, the equipment purchased only for mushrooms successfully copes with other tasks. Thus, a very useful purchase is a drier for vegetables "Red". Reviews, of course, there are other ways of using: "Red" for herbs, fruits, berries and meat. And many of them are positive.
