Using a computer-controlled sensor to check the temperature 60 times per second, this dehydrator creates a stable drying environment for food, flowers, and herbs. It generates 550 watts of power and comes with six stacking trays--a total of 12 square feet of drying space. The dehydrator's thermostat adjusts from 93 degrees F up to 150 degrees, offering the flexibility needed to dry meat, seafood, poultry, fruits, vegetables, jerky, granola, and even potpourri and sachet (great for gifts). Instructions and drying times for all these items and recipes employing dried foods are contained in a booklet accompanying the dehydrator. The device is made of plastic and measures 10-1/2 inches high when all six of the 17-by-11-inch trays are stacked and the cover is in place. Trays need to be hand washed and the base wiped clean. The dehydrator carries a 12-year warranty against defects. (You can purchase fruit leather sheets and a jerky kit separately.) --Fred Brack There are many advantages to creating your own home-dried foods.
