  1. The company should sell a matched set. 1 dehydrator and 1 hydrator.

    1. Read and Heed!

      From here on out, the rule for commenting on this kid of post is, shoot daggers at my attempts to pay the bills all you want, but if you do, suggest an alternative that meets your personal standard. Sometimes, my friend, that ain't easy, or even possible.

    3. Per your fair reasonable expectation, I submit the following:

      Adjustable temperature and adjustable timer. Consistent results, front to back, top to bottom and sise to side. All without the need to rotate or restack trays. When the crop is ripe and needs to be processed in a timely manner.

  3. I have 7 or 8 of those. Really good little machines. That many is the same price, or less, of one big one and if one of these craps out it's only $50. which is a lot cheaper, and less hassle than loosing the big one. And you can dehydrate a lot of different things at the same time. If you put different things in the big ones [like they show on advertisements] you get a lot of cross contamination of flavors and smells. Just DON'T put the trays in the dishwasher or they might warp. I didn't figure that out 'cause I'm smart. They are a good deal. I've been using them for years. ---ken

  4. Been using one of those for years to make jerky. I actually have two - one for jerky, and one for veggies so the flavors never meet. I prefer my jerky dehydrated, not cured. So, my recipe is simple: Soy sauce and whatever other flavors I want. Last batch I made I just used soy sauce and Siracha hot sauce. Or, even more simple: Trader Joe's Island Soyaki. Marinade the sliced meat in a ziplock bag in the fridge for a day or two, then dehydrate it. Comes out like beef potato chips. Never had it go bad on me by not adding nitrites, either. You get used to your own homemade, and nothing you can buy in the store will ever be good enough.
