10 Tray Stainless Food Dehydrator, 1000 W
10 Tray Stainless Food Dehydrator, 1000 W
Ten trays of fruit, dry by morning.
A stainless cabinet that dries a whole tree's worth of apricots, or the jerky for a long drive, while you sleep.
Ten stainless trays, each 377 × 285 mm, slide into runners in a 201 stainless cabinet. Every tray takes up to 0.77 kg of food, so a full load is a little over seven kilos in one run, and together the trays give a bit over a square metre of drying space. The trays are 304 stainless, BPA free, and go in the dishwasher when you are done.
The fan sits at the back and pushes air around all ten trays, so nothing needs turning or rotating part way through. The panel sets the temperature anywhere from 30 to 90 °C and the timer runs from half an hour to 48 hours, then shuts the machine off on its own. A light inside means you can see how the top tray is going without opening the door.

Questions
How much fits in it?
Ten trays, each 377 × 285 mm and rated to 0.77 kg, so a little over seven kilos of sliced food in one run and around a square metre of drying space. Leave a gap between pieces on each tray; food that touches dries unevenly and takes longer.
What temperature do I use?
The panel runs from 30 to 90 °C. Herbs and flowers sit at the bottom of the range, fruit and vegetables in the middle, and meat at the top. The recipe sheets in the box give starting points. Slice thickness makes as much difference as temperature, so keep pieces even.
Do the trays go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The trays are 304 stainless and BPA free, and they are dishwasher safe. The silicone sheets wash the same way. Wipe the cabinet out with a damp cloth rather than putting water through it, and let everything dry before it goes back in.
Does it turn itself off?
It does. Set the timer anywhere between half an hour and 48 hours and the machine stops when it gets there. It also has overheat protection with automatic cooling and shutdown, which is what makes people comfortable leaving it running overnight.
Can I dry different foods at the same time?
You can, as long as they want a similar temperature. What travels is flavour, not heat, so keep onion and garlic away from fruit unless you want apricots that taste of them. Herbs are the worst offenders. A batch at a time is simplest.
