| Dehydration is the oldest form of
food preservation and the simplest. From ancient mariners on long voyages to
wandering nomads, dried foods were essential. It is important when considering a dehydrator to purchase a dehydrator that has an adjustable thermostat. Valuable enzymes and essential nutrients are lost if food is dehydrated over 116 degree F. Many dehydrators do not have an adjustable thermostat (One from a local store we tested was non-adjustable and set at 170 degrees!). The dehydrators we sell have built in thermostats so you can control the temperature from 85 degrees on up. We suggest dehydrating at about 100-105 degrees. It may take a little bit longer, but you will preserving vital enzymes and nutrients in the food. To monitor the temperature inside the dehydrator, we offer the Taylor Professional Digital Thermometer/Timer. It allows you to see a digital readout of the temperature inside the dehydrator without opening the door. It also allows you to set a timer to count down so you will know when your food is done. When purchased with a Dehydrator, you will save 33% off the retail price! The dehydrators we offer do not have built in timers. We suggest purchasing a standard appliance timer(the kinds that turn off an on your lights when you are on vacation) (about $5-$10) at a local store (such as home depot, radio shack, walmart, kmart, ace hardware, etc) Need more information on dehydration and how to dehydrate, look at the bookstore.
