Product drying times depend on various factors and cannot be accurately calculated.
The main factor is the thickness of the product being dried: every
millimetre of thickness takes an average of about 3 to 4 hours for perfect
drying. As thickness increases, so does drying time per millimetre, so the
thicker the product the longer the drying process.
Other factors that affect drying times are relative humidity of the air, external
temperature and the water content of the fruit or vegetables; tomatoes take a
very long time to dry because they have a particularly high water content.
