You can dehydrate fruits, vegetables and meats and you will find recipes online to create your own special treats. Below in our guide to food dehydrators we’ll explain some of the advantages of these devices.  

Food dehydrators are used for the following purposes and have the following advantages:

  • By removing the moisture, you are preserving food and saving it from going bad which is always helpful if you have overbought.
  • It is a great, novel way to create healthy snacks, kids love it too and it can encourage healthy eating.

  • You lose nothing in the nutritional value of the food so it can be a great way to add nutrients to your diet.

  • Dehydrated foods have a long shelf life and so you can buy foods when they are on sale, dehydrate them and store them for later use.

So, if you are planning to purchase a food dehydrator, what should you be looking for? Not all food dehydrators are the same.

Versatility


Some dehydrators come with a fixed amount of trays and some offer you the scope to extend the amount of trays, so decide whether you are planning to dehydrate a lot of food or whether just a little.

Size


Make sure you have the counter space to accommodate your dehydrator, there is nothing worse than buying an oversized one that just will not fit into your kitchen space.

Shape and Design


It may be that you want to tie your dehydrator into your existing kitchen design and use it as a bit of a feature. If you have plenty of space a round or oval shape may be appropriate but a square or rectangular shape will fit more neatly into a corner, making a better use of space.

Features


Decide on the features that you are looking for, do you need it to have a temperature control for example or is a fixed temperature fine, don’t pay for features that you won’t use.

Dishwasher Safe


Unless you are happy to wash your dehydrator, it may be an idea to check for one that allows you to make use of the dishwasher.

Cost


Cost will come into the equation and it will be a balance between the size of dehydrator that you need, the features that it will have and the design. Dehydrators come with a range of price tags to suit all budgets.

As with any purchase, make sure that you shop around. Decide on the features you need and set your budget. Always buy from a reputable supplier and check the warranty terms of the product.
