Cure: Dehydrate & Store

The part the drying charts skip — doneness, conditioning, and safe storage, every number cited.

What it does

Pick a food and Cure gives you its drying temperature, time range (dehydrator and oven), pretreatment, and a yield predictor — enter fresh weight, get the approximate dried weight and how many half-pint jars your haul makes. Then it carries you past the timer: the cut-squeeze-and-fold doneness test, the 4–10-day conditioning step that most home dehydrators skip, and a storage and use-by planner that explains why dried food keeps.

Every figure is cited to a primary source — the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP / So Easy to Preserve, University of Georgia) and Colorado State's PreserveSmart program — not blog folklore. Fruit, vegetables, and herbs only; for drying meat and jerky, see our companion app Strip.

Cure: Dehydrate & Store

Per-food drying cards and the doneness test are free forever; a 24-hour trial unlocks everything, then a one-time $4.99 Cure Pro purchase adds the conditioning tracker, storage planner, and full food library. No subscription, no account, works offline.
