Instructions Wash sweet potatoes and pat dry (don't peel them). Cut into slices approx. 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch thick. Arrange on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at between 120F and 130F for 8 to 12 hours (time needed depends on how thick your sweet potato slices are)
How do you preserve homemade dog treats?
You can probably keep them wrapped loosely in a tea towel or muslin cloth (to prevent them getting too soggy) in your larder for a day or two, after that they must go into the refrigerator. As a rule of thumb, you can use an airtight container in the fridge to keep treats like this fresh for a week to ten days maximum.
How do you make dehydrated dog treats without a dehydrator?
Put the cookie sheet into the oven at an ideal temperature of 150° – 200°F. Check the treats every half hour or so, move them around on the cookie sheet, and if there is a lot of liquid on the cookie sheet, drain it off. The treats need to be really, really dry; as dry as kibble; moisture is your enemy.
How do you store homemade dehydrated dog treats?
Store fully dehydrated jerky treats for dogs in an airtight container in a cool dark place for 2 – 3 weeks. With fattier treats, like salmon, I usually store them in an airtight container in the fridge as fats spoil faster than lean proteins. For longer-lasting storage, you can freeze for up to 3 months.
How do you keep homemade dog treats crispy?
Dry Dog Treats - For most treat recipes you can increase the crunch-factor by drying them out a bit more at the end of their recommended baking time. If I want to do this, I turn off the oven, open the door a crack, and leave the treats inside while the oven cools.
