popular food dehydrator - BY1108A

Item Name: Popular food dehydrator

Product Specification:

Dehydrating a variety of foods and herbs is an excellent, natural way of preserving their goodness and concentrating and enhancing their flavours. Make your own banana chips, dried mango or jerky in this dehydrator and you will notice the difference in flavour from shop bought products.

This affordable dehydrator with stackable drying trays offers a very economical introduction to dehydrating and the smoke-tinted trays offer a good view of the contents as drying progresses. Food Dehydrator is also the most compact dehydrator in our range and a good choice where space is limited. As with most stacking tray dehydrators, heat is distributed evenly around the drying area by the fan at the bottom of the unit and trays can be rotated during the drying process to equalize drying times for each tray. Temperature is fixed at approximately 80 degrees C, 176 degrees F. Drying is achieved with a miserly power consumption of 250 watts, which means Food Dehydrator is also very cheap to run.

Dehydrating is as easy as 1, 2, 3......

Dehydrating is the best way to preserve the essence of a raw apple, as well as other fruits and vegetables. Dehydrating doesn't subject foods to high temperatures associated with traditional canning methods. For safety reasons, low-acid foods are heated to temperatures of 240ºF degrees in a pressure canner. High-acid produce reaches a temperature of 212ºF in a water-bath canner. When a raw food is heated to an internal temperature of 120ºF or higher, much of it's nutritional value is lost, especially enzymes. Canning also leaches out water soluble vitamins and minerals, which further depletes the healthful qualities of raw-living foods.

• FAST!
  • Dehydration is far less time-consuming than canning or freezing. It takes mere minutes to cut and arrange pieces on the trays. The Hottop does all the rest while you're out doing other things.
• EASY!
  • What could be simpler? Just place foods on the Hottop dehydrator trays. Warm air passes through the trays, carrying away moisture.
• EXPLOSIVELY DELICIOUS!
  • Dehydration removes water, concentrating your fruits' and vegetables' natural flavour, sweetness, and aroma. Fruits explode with a mouth-watering natural candy flavour. That's far healthier than high fat snacks and sugary candies.
• DEHYDRATION IS FASTER, EASIER, MORE ECONOMICAL
  • Just cut, dry, and bag. That's it! You can do a little at a time or a lot at once. The Hottop dehydrator does the work unattended while you're off doing other things.
