Food Dehydrators

Making dried fruit and fruit leathers isn't hard and it doesn't need to be costly either. Even though some food processors and juicers can get really pricey, a dehydrator isn't going to cost very much and it's a lifesaver to have fruit leathers, dried fruit or fruit jerky available when you can't get out to the store for fresh produce.

When purchasing a dehydrator, a few points to consider are the materials and construction used to manufacture the product, the size, heating elements, fans and guarantees.

Make sure you have room for the dehydrator in the space you have planned for it. Choose one that's multi-purpose, with several trays and specific trays for fruits and herbs. A side-mounted or horizontal fan is best when choosing a food dehydrator.Here are some food dehydrators to think about. But do a little research to find just the right one for you!

Nesco American Harvest - A very inexpensive food dehydrator with five trays that don't have to be rotated. Price is $40-$55.

Excalibur Dehydrator - Has over 12 square feet of drying space. Comes with 9 free sheets and has a horizontal fan for maximum drying efficiency. Fast drying times, no tray rotation needed and fast cleanup. Price approximately $200-$220.

L'Equip Dehydrators - Comes with specific mesh for drying sheets, plus unique sheets for making fruit leathers and fruit roll-ups. Has a compact design and good, uniform drying. Price is around $150.

TSM Commerical Dehydrator - When you're serious about drying foods! Comes with 12 racks, 1600 watts of power, dual 6" fans for strong air flow. Can dry 15-18 pounds of jerky. Priced at $650 and up.And remember a food slicer for all that fruit drying!

A large 7" nonstick stainless steel slicer blade cuts fruit & vegetables. Micrometer control dial selects slices from deli-thin to 9/16" thick.
