Does it make kale chips? How do we know how much time to set for certain food?

I'm sure u can dehydrate kale easily. Don't know how they'll come out compared to the oven. Time wise. It really depends, every couple hours you'll want to move the order of the trays and just check the dryness then. You can't really overdo it so it's not a huge deal.

Yes! It is perfect for kale chips. Set it at 110 for 7 to 10 hours. When the chips are to you liking of crispness, take them out. Store in an air tight container or food bag. If they get limp just put them back in the dehydrator for an hour or until crisp again. There are hundreds of kale chip recipes online but in order to retain the enzymes and keep foods still raw, try to stay under 118.

I don't know about Kale chips, but I am sure it would. There is a 'guide' within the manual that tells you at what temperature and for how long. And then I use my (head as a) guide deciding if my dried items are 'dry enough' or not. I have done mushrooms. Most any pepper from the garden. Tomatoes. Apple's and peaches. Grapes for raisers. So I don't see why you could not do Kale Chips!

Well, I have a microwave that has a fresh veggie setting and also a frozen veggie setting so I use them. I have found that for green beens or broccoli or carrots it takes about 5 minutes depending on whether you like them crunchy or softer. We like them softer. For peas and corn it is about 3 minutes. So you just have to try it to see. I usually put about a half inch of water on the veggies but green beans tend to dry out more easily so I add a bit more water to them. I love the cooker though. I missed having it so much when my other one finally cracked after probably 10 years. You just have to try it to find out what your microwave does. Ours is a 1200 watt so that makes a difference too. Good luck.

I put frozen veggies in mine all the time. I am on Nutrisystem and will put in a bunch of frozen veggies plus my lunch meal and plug it in for a few hours. Doesn't seem to matter how long. It's usually 2-4 hours. It will warm the frozen. It will NOT cook raw meat. It works really well on the NS pasta meals so it does turn hard pasta soft in that time.

Yes, you may have to plan ahead and put it on after breakfast...it does take awhile. I use mine everyday...I toss some frozen veg's in it every morning...plug it in @ 8am and by noon I have fresh steamed veg's...Luv IT!!!!

I never made jerky with mine, but I make kale chips regularly. Dehydrating kale pieces tossed in olive oil is a far less fatty/oily substance than meat, and I can smell the kale in any room beyond the one the dehydrator is in. I'd bet that you would definitely smell jerky being made!

I juice spinach and kale daily. I don't have the upgrade. They don't take more time to juice than anything else. I make a tall glass out of 5 fruits or vegetables in 5 minutes. Cleaning the machine takes about that long as well.

My microwave is 1000w and I zap it for 5 min. I don't think time is that critical. After 5 min, I let it cool until I can pick the egg up and place it in the holder. After about an hour the indicator turns blue. After couple of week or so the indicator will turn pink - time to bake it again.

Horribly for kale. There are always little chunks left in there no matter how long you blend it for. For other, softer greens it does pretty well, especially for spinach.

You betcha! I'll be picking up kale tonight after work and it is always cleaned for our morning NutriBullet drinks--been doing this for nearly two years. Perfect!

No sensor. This one does not have any kind of automatic shut off. (model above this has timer) I'm glad I bought this model. Every batch is different, every time it takes a different amount of time (due to fruit size, how much moister, temp of your house, moisture in your house) Get this model and just every so often check it to taste and desiree dryness.Kale chips come out great.

I wish I had gotten this in place of my other blender, but yes, it makes smoothies. Make sure the container you use is the tall slender one and move the wand slowly up and down in the blender. It should look like baby food. Kale will need to be torn into small pieces without stems. Good luck!

Spinach yes. I'm not so sure about kale but hey it doesn't hurt to try. I would suggest chopping it first before throwing it in the blender. I wouldn't see why not though, it has great power.

there is a way to use the customize the rising time (or baking time) by programming in a unique recipe. It's not difficult if you simply follow the instructions in the owner's manual. I have done it. Once you program it, it is saved and you can use the same timing or change it.

You set the rotary timer for how long you want to cook. In the beginning I made my own time/food cook table for steak, pork and chicken. I have learned over the years to trust others recipes with a grain of salt.

I guess it's kind of a dehydrator for the microwave. But the slices must be very thin to make the chips. When I use a dehydrator, I can use a much thicker slice of fruit or vegetables.

it probably does. you would have to experiment. since 5 egss takes about 8 min you might try 2 min for 1 and then check for doneness. you can always adjust time depending on your type of microwave. the nordic holds 4 (i stack 1 on top) making it 5 egss being cooked. i really enjoy mine. good luck.

Yes this can blend kale, you do have to let it run quite some time, but it does,
