Several Important Capabilities Of The Electric Food Dehydrator

Electric Food Dehydrators are available in all forms of shapes and sizes ranging widely both in quality and price.

A compact, low cost food dehydrator that costs between $30 and $40 will have the heat source located in the bottom of the machine and it can take up to 3 days in order to dry certain kinds of foods.

This might be just fine for the occasional use and will be ideal for keeping your kids interested for a few hours.

If however you are looking for a more substantive and reliable system for you to preserve foods either for snacks, camping, backpacking or survival situations then you really must expect to pay more for a better model.

My husband has a saying - "Buy the Best for the Least"

What you will be searching for is a food dehydrator that provides fast, even and wholesome drying of food.

Here is a list of the benefits and features that the higher priced, top of the range, electric food dehydrators offer.

Top mounted fan so that liquids do not drip in to the heater chamber.

1000 watts of electric power giving you a quicker drying time for larger amounts of food.

Air flow structure that forces heated air down the outside pressurized chamber, and then horizontally across each individual rack for quick, even and nourishing drying.

Absolutely no flavor mixing.

Electronic digital timer that is programmable for as much as two days of drying time.

Opaque exterior which blocks light to retain a lot more of the foods nutrients and vitamins during the drying process.

Expandable to satisfy your needs. You might to begin with buy a four tray system but find that you could use more drying space. With an expandable system it is easy to add more trays, for example 20 trays giving you 20 square feet of drying space.

The real question that you need to ask yourself is, which of those features can I manage without while still providing fast, even and nutritious food.

My short list of essentials for my electric food dehydrator is as follows: top mounted fan, an opaque exterior, horizontal air flow, expandable tray system, variable drying pressures and I would opt for a moderately fast drying system.
