Excalibur Dehydrator 9 Tray, 26hr Timer – Black

Our most popular dehydrator – the 9 tray Excalibur has a convenient built-in 26 hour timer and an adjustable thermostat.

Dehydration is the healthiest, easiest, most economical way to preserve foods. Better still, with an Excalibur dehydrator, it is fast and easy!

– Fast: Dehydration is far faster than canning or freezing. Simply cut and arrange pieces on the trays — the Excalibur dehydrator does the rest.

– Easy: Load the trays and set the temperature and timer. The Excalibur dehydrator dries the contents of all trays evenly so that everything is done at the same time.

– Delicious: Dehydration concentrates natural flavor, sweetness, and aroma. Fruits explode with mouth-watering, “natural candy” flavor that is healthier than high-fat snacks and high-sugar sweets that are often filled with chemical preservatives.

– Cost-effective: Because it is far more cost-effective to make your own dried foods and snacks than buying them from the shops, your dehydrator will pay for itself over and over again. Save money by buying foods in bulk when they are in season and drying them for later use. Dehydrated food shrinks so does not require much space and doesn’t need electricity to store, like frozen food does.

– Convenient: The built-in timer can be set to operate your Excalibur dehydrator from one to 26 hours and will turn your dehydrator off at the end of the time period that you have selected. It makes it easy to incorporate dehydrating activities around your schedule. You can set your dehydrator to turn off while you are sleeping or when you are away. No more babysitting at 4.30 am! No more postponing dehydrating because other activities take you away from home for a number of hours. With the timer and built-in safety features, you can load your dehydrator before leaving for the day or evening. The timer makes dehydrating as convenient as using a slow cooker for unattended meal preparation.

– Efficient: Excalibur’s patented efficient vertical flow system means less drying time and more even drying.

FAQ:

How does dehydrating work?

 – A food dehydrator uses a heat source and airflow to reduce the water content of foods. Removing moisture from food restrains various bacteria from growing and spoiling food. Dehydrators preserve and extend the shelf life of various foods.
