Monow Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 * OK I am thinking of getting a dehydrator. Yes I know some Raw eaters don't agree with the dehydrators, but I know many do. So for those people who have bought a dehydrator, can you give any advice of what things I should look out for when purchasing. Like features that are a must. Makes and models to look for. Any dodgy models that don't do the job proparly. I did see this one on a site I buy things from http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/stockli_timer.html any feedback on that model ? * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monow Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 * Oh, on the same site are other dehydrators.... Those in the know can have a look and see if there are other makes and models worth considering on the site. http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/ionisers_ozonators_food_dehydrators_distillers.html * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If you are going to seriously dehydrate then you can't get better than the Excalibur. I have the 9 tray but the 5 tray would be enough for one person, especially if you don't plan on using it alot. The nonstick drying sheets are a must. My mother has one of the circular dehydrators but it's very height and size limiting. You could probably find a used one much cheaper. www.drying123.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monow Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 * Thanks for the feedback DV. Also the link is great too. I've checked the link, and watched the little promo video which was very interesting. Also I am amazed that they give a 10 year warranty on the dehydrator. I can't remember when I last saw a warranty for 10 years on any product. They must believe in their product if they give such coverage ! The site I was looking at has the excalibur. Both 5 and 9 tray, so I'm in luck there. Thanks again, now I'll go read more on it all * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live alone, and can not seem to make enough in one batch. enough of anything. I would prefer to dehydrate twice a week not 5 times a week.

caligurl Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 carrot pecan burgers, just made them yesterday in the excalibur. I'd go with the 9 tray if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andesuma Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Eating a good amount of dehydrated raw foods, is usually a transitional thing. Plus you generally have to drink a lot of water with them anyway, orrehydrate them before consumption... So, in my opinion, purchasing a dehydrator is a waste of money,and time. You can use your oven. check out:www.lydiasorganics.com for amazing dehydrated treats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
