A variety of foods, from bright golden kernels of farm-fresh corn to rings of island-sweetened pineapple can be dehydrated. Slices of beef, chicken, fish or even venison can be easily dried into homemade jerky. A fruit puree dries into a vividly colored, taffy-like snack or fruit roll. Make soup mixes, herb and spice mixes, yogurt, arts & crafts … even all-natural pet treats. Operating cost for your Excalibur Dehydrator is approximately 3 - 6 cents per hour. Using your dehydrator compared to traditional canning or freezing methods will prove to be well worth your initial low-cost investment.
