Works so well, we have already tried dehydrated apples, pineapple,bananas, capsicum, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms and fruit leather, just to see how well it works and everything dries evenly from top to bottom trays. Very glad we bought the mega pack. So easy to use. We are also very pleased we bought the apple peeler. If you have apple trees you will not regret getting the apple peeler.It takes just a few seconds for it to peel, core and slice all in one go. It is extremely well made.
We have been using this machine for a number of years. It replaced a couple of earlier models so we are long term users -maybe 15+yrs. The controls are simple and what they don’t say is that if you don’t make it back at the end of the programmed drying time, the machine drops the temp and keeps the fan going in a cool-off/limbo function.
We have 20 trays but have borrowed extras and run 30 on odd occasions …
I recently had fruit dehydrated in 2020 - 5.5yrs old & perfect. . I’ve never used any preservatives - only prep is just cut fruit and place on racks. 24hrs@ 55C. We store in 1kg yogurt containers.
Totally recommend these units …
A must for anything liquid - fruit leather in particular. the curved edges hold more too for thicker leather. I mucked around with cutting baking paper each time that would still stick and rip, what a waste of time that was compared to these sheets.
Works really well, I’m enjoying experimenting with different fruits
