Erin Patterson's recorded interview with police following the deadly beef Wellington lunch has been aired in open court for the very first time.

Wearing a grey jumper and seated across the table from Homicide Squad Senior Constable Stephen Eppingstall, Patterson was asked if she owned a dehydrator or knew anything about them.

'No,' was the response.

It was a lie the jury has previously heard Patterson now admits to.

On Tuesday, the jury was shown photographs of a manual for a Sunbeam food dehydrator found in a drawer in Patterson's Leongatha home.
