Snackmaster® Pro Food and Jerky Dehydrator

I wish I had this dehydrator when my garden was in full swing this summer because it would have been so helpful to dry herbs, and dehydrate vegetables for use later. I really can’t wait to try it out on all that this summer. This dehydrator has 5 drying trays, 2 Clean-A-Screens and 2 Fruit Roll Sheets. It also includes jerky spices. This Snackmaster® Pro Food and Jerky dehydrator is one of the newest in the Nesco line and it is sleek and contemporary with 700 watts of drying power to dry food in just hours. My husband did the testing by following a jerky recipe and using the included spices it was easy and quick and they loved the jerky. I will be updating with fruit rolls but wanted to get this up since time is flying. The unit is easy to clean and very lightweight. I really can’t wait for spring and summer to try drying flowers as well.

Makes delicious Beef Jerky even turkey jerky, and fish jerky. Make trail mix, homemade yogurt, apple snacks, banana chips, dried soup mixes, dried tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, mangoes, papaya and other dried fruits at a fraction of the cost. Make dried herbs and spices; also make potpourri and dried flowers for any occasion.

Features

• Adjustable Thermostat. The adjustable thermostat allows you to dry different foods at proper temperatures (95º-160º F), providing the flexibility to produce the best drying results.
• New-Powerful Top Mounted Fan. Top mounted fan and 700 watts of drying power generate maximum speed and quality for dehydrating fruits, vegetables, and jerky. Helps dry food in hours, not days like other food dehydrators.
• Expandable unit comes with 5 trays, but is expandable to 12 trays with optional Add-A-Trays®.
• Vita-Save® Exterior. Opaque Vita-Save® exterior helps block harmful light which destroys nutritional content of food being dehydrated.
• Patented Converga-Flow® drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber (not through the trays). The hot air is forced horizontally across each individual tray, converging on the core for fast, even and nutritious drying. No flavor mixing and no need to rotate trays.
• This Model Includes:
