Dehydrated pineapple slices dehydrating Stephanie’s efooddehydrator Pineapples
me back to my new, improved way of showing my videos. I now have the video all in one to see it from start to finish. Dehydrating pineapple is oh so easy and so great. First, I peel the pineapple and cut it (ring). Then I put it on my Excalibur food dehydrator to dry. My family & I love pineapple, dried or otherwise. It requires very little time to prepare, and tastes oh so great. I have a pineapple slicer, but this time I just peeled and sliced my pineapple. We like them thin, so that’s how we did it. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. You can visit our website at efooddehydrator.com and get the advice of food dehydration, discussions, videos and much more. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Beef Jerky Food Dehydrators

There are a multitude of beef jerky food dehydrators on the market. You can select from small three or four round tray, air up from the bottom, type dehydrators to the larger square or rectangle style with back to front heated air circulation. Both will do the job. Well, just doing the job is not sometimes enough. Round units are not conducive to jerky for lack of good spacing of the product. Yes you can use a round one and get the most excellent jerky. However, if I am going to invest the time to make jerky or anything else, then I want the maximum result. Square or rectangle food dehydrator trays increase the productivity of the unit itself. The meat can be placed evenly on the tray. Drying is also more effective. There are three or four units that I believe meet the standards to do jerky drying with efficiency and turn out an excellent product. These are in random order.
The Good4U Food Dehydrator: This dehydrator is a little new twist to old designs. The unit is door-less. The manufacture took a different approach to the unit, very clean and very inventive. For ten shelves and horizontal drying this is a good value. It can be found on the internet for around 0.
The Excalibur 2900 Food Dehydrator: This is the grand daddy of the food dehydrator industry. Well built with ease of use. This will dry all day and dry all night. A great addition to any kitchen. Can be found on the internet for 0.
The Weston Products 10-tray stainless steel dehydrator: This, by far, is some serious piece of commercial grade equipment. While it is the highest cost at approximately 0. This is the Cadillac and Caterpillar combined. If you want to do multiple different tasks with one machine then consider this one. It lets you perform bread dough rising for proofing. Remove the shelves and use it to dry arts and crafts. Dry your own artisan pasta. This is a great choice if you are willing to go the extra expense.
Lequip Food Dehydrator: This unit is the least costly of the four, but do not underestimate the abilities of this machine. The FilterPro will supply endless clean heated air to create an excellent result your family will enjoy. Design is easy to clean up and a 24 hour timer shutoff is standard. The unit can be increased to 20 trays if so desired. This will give you a maximum of 24 feet of drying surface. The FilterPro is on the internet right now for around 0.
Please remember when comparing the machines, keep in mind your needs now and in the future. Most of the folks we talk with will comment they should have gone with the larger machine. Once you use one and reap the benefits it will be in almost constant use. Eat right and eat well.

Dehydrated Banana Chips Dried Bananas Dehydrating Bananas by Stephanie @ efooddehydrator.com
Hi, It’s me and now I am dehydrating banana chips. These are healthy, great for snacking and oh so easy to make. I started by peeling the bananas, and slicing them about 1/4″ thick. I then placed them on my Excalibur tray and spread them out, about 1″ apart from each other. I then dehydrated them for about 10-12 hours. They turned out great! My husband and 2 boys absolutely love them. Great for snacking, but you better dehydrate a lot, because they will not last! Please see us at efooddehydrator.com or on eBay under our username stephaniejw. Thank you for watching!

Hello Again, Thank you for viewing my video food dehydration. I’m the result of my dehydrated zucchini crisps. After about 7 hours, zucchini came out GREAT! My children and husband to give it 2 thumbs up! Those with olive oil and sea salt are fat. Not good for dehydrating, I think. The only sea salt appeared BEST! I love the new type of dehydrating food. It is truly a robust, cost effective way to feed your family. Plus, dehydrating and storing food for the future is a great way to save money. Please join me in efooddehydrator.com for tips, articles and discusssions about food dehydration. Enjoy!

Apart from preserving food for later use, dehydrating using a food dehydrator can also preserve the nutritional value of the produce due to the low temperature they can operate at. Cooking food at temperatures above 118ºF (48ºC) destroys the enzymes and essential nutrients contained in the food.
Although food dehydrating can be done in a fan assisted convection oven, a solar dehydrator or even outside in the sun – an electric food dehydrator allows for a more controlled method of food drying that can be used indoors whatever the weather. It will also produce far superior results with less input needed by the user.
A food dehydrator is essentially an oven but has been designed specifically for use at lower temperatures and to assist with the circulation of the air and removal of the moisture. It is a simple invention and consists of a fan, heating element and trays for putting the food on. The air inside the dehydrator is heated to a preset temperature and the fan circulates the warmed air around the food. Food dehydrators can be purchased at www.juiceland.co.uk
Some of the better food dehydrators are equipped with a variable temperature control so that food can be dehydrated at different temperatures. Unfortunately, the cheaper dehydrators that are appearing more and more these days (under £80) have a fixed temperature at around 180ºF (80ºC). Compare this to the best food dehydrator – the Excalibur, which has a maximum temperature of 155ºF (68ºC) and the lower temperature of 85ºF (29ºC).
Unfortunately, many people are using the none-variable cheaper dehydrators thinking that they’re preserving the nutritional value of the food, whereas in reality, they may as well just save their money and use an oven. Although, not everyone who uses a food dehydrator is going to be concerned about the nutritional value of the food – they are under the misconception that they are dehydrating food when really they’re cooking it. Subjecting the foods to high temperatures results in food which appears hard on the outside but still moist in the middle – this will still allow moulds to form and spoil the food. Just make sure you select the right machine for your particular needs.
A food dehydrator is an essential piece of equipment for the modern day raw food enthusiast who follows the theory of any food heated above 118ºF (48ºC) is cooked and therefore the nutritional value drastically reduced. If this is the reason you are looking for a food dehydrator then ensure the machine you select has a variable temperature control. These machines on our website are the Stockli dehydrators and the Excalibur dehydrators.
Living Foods are uncooked, free from artificial products, organic, easy to digest, rich in enzymes and highly nutritious. Dehydration removes the water without cooking, concentrating the natural flavour, sweetness and aroma of the fruit and vegetable. Fruits explode with a mouth-watering natural sugar flavour which is far healthier than high-fat snacks and refined sugary sweets.
How long does all this take?
The rate at which food dehydrates is governed by several factors:
Temperature – the higher the temperature the quicker the food dehydrates. Beware, too high a temperature and the food will cook.
Humidity - the less humidity in the air, the faster the dehydration process.
Air circulation – by constantly circulating the air, a food dehydrator allows for quicker dehydrating by removing the moist air and replacing it with dry air.
Water content – the more water contained in the food will result in a longer drying time.
Size of food – the larger the piece of food being dehydrated, the longer it will take to dry. Slicing food allows for quicker drying.
Any other uses for a food dehydrator?
Well, here at Juiceland – we’ve dealt with many requests over the years. From the sheepish husband who called us to buy another dehydrator after his wife caught him using her machine to dry maggots for fishing bait – to the audiophile who turned up at our warehouse with his probes and gadgets to measure our machines for magnetic fields, this is so he could use them to bake old audio tape to transfer to a more modern format. For you tape baking people out there – he successfully tested the Stockli and Excalibur dehydrators and recommends them for use in tape baking. Other uses include, drying flowers, crafts etc.
Dehydrator Types
Horizontal dehydrators: The best dehydrators have thermostatically controlled heat settings and have fans situated at the rear of the machine that blow warm air horizontally over the foods. The Excalibur Dehydrator is one of this type.
Vertical dehydrators: They have a heat source at the bottom, so air is circulated vertically upwards. The trays are removable and perforated (for air circulation) and are stacked above the heat source. Food on lower trays near the heat source will often dry more rapidly than food on higher trays, therefore trays should be rotated throughout drying with this type of

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Four Ways to Compare Food Dehydrator Trays
A food dehydrator is a simple machine that dries food to preserve it for later use. The food dehydrator trays are the platforms in which the warmed air passes over to accomplish the task at hand. Trays and machines come in two sub groups: round and square or rectangle and air passage by vertical or horizontal movement. That is the sum total. One other consideration is the construction of the unit itself. This is normally plastic, but stainless steel is an option. Also, the round units tend to be less expensive. This does not mean that they are cheaper, therefore poorer quality.
Round: These are the ones seen almost everywhere from big box stores to the local hardware store. These are the entry level machines, great to get started with. The trays are less productive as the layout of foods to dry sometimes does not match up well with the round tray. An American harvest food dehydrator FD1010 is a perfect example of this type of unit.
Square or Rectangle: This type of tray increases the efficiency of the home food dehydrator. When making a product like food dehydrator jerky, square corners are best. An example of this type is an L equip food dehydrator FilterPro.
Air Circulation Vertical: This can be critical to a quality result. Vertical air flow has a tendency to mix aromas and flavors in the unit. By doing one type of drying at a time, like apple or then cherries or a load of jerky will work just fine. However, I would not mix different items to be dried at one time.
Air Circulation Horizontal: This style of food dehydrator trays drying is the ultimate best. Load different products and the horizontal air flow will do the trick. An Excalibur 9 tray food dehydrator is the absolute best example for this type of unit.
Ask Santa for your food dehydrator now, do not wait till Christmas! Happy drying and happy nutrition.
