Status dehydrator, 8 trays, 50-80 C

Status dehydrator

Drying is the oldest way of preserving fruit. Besides freezing and canning, this is also the best way to store food. Drying or dehydration removes the water from the products, which prevents the growth of microorganisms and causes the food to spoil.

Healthy homemade dried fruit snacks
Take advantage of the abundance of fruits and vegetables in the summer and autumn and prepare healthy snacks for the winter. Apple rolls are sure to bring back memories of your childhood. Dehydrate plums, cherries and peaches or prepare a homemade vegetable mix of carrots, leeks, onions, celery, peppers, chives, rosemary and basil. This homemade herbal mixture will make your meals even more delicious. Since it contains no preservatives or additives, it is also suitable for those who are sensitive to certain additives in store-bought spice mixes.

Ideas for drying fruits and vegetables
Prepare dehydrated fruits for your children because they are rich in vitamins and fiber. Let them enjoy healthy homemade desserts without added sugar and preservatives; offer them colorful vegetable chips instead of store bought ones.

Dry some carrots, onions, celery, leeks, peppers, and chives; grind them and mix them to make a delicious homemade spice blend that does not contain any preservatives or flavor enhancers.

Why choose a Status dehydrator with a capacity of 30 liters?
Includes eight drying trays. Its metal body ensures the best possible drying process, using as little electricity as possible, also, there is no risk of fire, as with cheap plastic dehydrators. The fan on the back of the still blows the air horizontally - this means simply turning the trays from left to right for even drying as needed. There is no need to move the trays to different levels as in circular dehydrators where the airflow flows from the bottom up.

Eight drying trays with a total working surface of 0.74 m 2 (one tray measures 37 x 25 cm) will be enough to prepare large quantities of fruit snacks or to dry vegetables for your homemade spice mix. We recommend drying foods of similar texture and moisture content at the same time. The processes of drying vegetables, fruits and herbs are very different from each other.

Food dehydration is definitely a type of process that needs to be monitored and corrected. If you notice that certain foods dry out faster than others, remove them from the dehydrator and store them in a sealed container or in a vacuum. If you notice that food items near the fan are drying faster, simply rotate the trays halfway through the process so that those foods are away from the fan.

What is the best way to store dehydrated foods?

Dried apples, pears and especially dried mushrooms quickly absorb moisture from the environment. This is why they should be stored in airtight containers or bags as soon as they cool. Vacuum sealing bags and vacuum containers are the most suitable, because without oxygen the products are preserved for a maximally long period.

Maintenance and cleaning
Before the first use, run the dehydrator empty for at least 1/2 hour at the highest temperature. Wash the trays after each drying by hand or in the dishwasher. The easiest way to remove dried-on residue is to soak the trays in warm water and after a few minutes, clean the stubborn dried-on food with a check or sponge.

Materials
The body and trays are metal, and the door is made of tempered glass.
