Do you need to prop open the oven door for this dog treat recipe?
This recipe sounds great for my Beagles. Some recipes call for leaving the oven door open a little. Should I do this? Thanks
Chef's Comments ~ You're right, many sweet potato dog treat recipes instruct you to do that. However, by increasing the temperature by 50 degrees and the amount of time the slices are in the oven, we found that propping the door open was not necessary.
There is a delicate balance between a dried sweet potato that is slightly chewy, and one that has sharp dried edges. We prefer chewy to the extra dried variety that can break or have sharp edges.
Since sweet potatoes are relatively inexpensive, you could try a batch the way we recommend, and then another batch with the door open to see what you and your dogs prefer. :)
Happy Dog Treat Baking! :)
