QuestionCan banana chips be dried unpeeled? Can drying process begin in microwave then finished in air fryer?This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerBanana chips can be dried unpeeled. Note that it will take longer to dry them like this because the peel is thicker and will likely retain more moisture. It's also possible that unpeeled banana chips may not turn out as crispy as peeled ones. To answer your next question, yes, you can start the drying process in a microwave and then finish it in an air fryer. However, be aware this would depend on the specific recipe or instructions you're using. Since the microwave is not typically used to dry fruits, it is best used to partly pre-cook the banana chips before finishing them in a dehydrator or air fryer. Using both the microwave and air fryer in combination could cause uneven drying. Try consulting a recipe or guide specifically designed for this method. In general, it is recommended to use a dehydrator, oven or air fryer specifically designed for dehydrating fruits because they have low temperatures and a fan which helps with precise control and ensures even drying of the fruits and less chances of over-cooking them.

QuestionCan I dried my bananas inside room and leave it alone?WawaWawaCommunity AnswerTo dry bananas inside a room, slice them into thin slices and place them on a drying rack or parchment paper in a well-ventilated area with low humidity and good airflow. Check the bananas frequently and rotate them as needed to ensure that all sides are exposed to the air. You may need to turn on a fan or use a dehumidifier to help speed up the drying process and prevent the bananas from becoming moldy. Drying time may take several days or longer depending on the room's conditions. Check the bananas frequently to make sure they are not turning brown or becoming moldy.
