How to Use the Dehydrator in Stardew Valley
Place your dehydrator after you are done crafting it in any suitable location around your farm. To use it, place 5 fruits or mushrooms inside it and you will get them back as dried fruit and mushroom. The only fruit that doesn’t dry up is grapes, as they turn into raisins instead. The dehydrator can be used to turn inedible fruit into edible ones, such as the case with Rhubarb. It takes 1 day to convert fruit and mushrooms into dehydrated form. Below are all the items you can get from the dehydrator.
- Dried Mushrooms – 5x positive Energy/Health Mushrooms
