With a dehydrator you can create your own dried fruits, herbs, spices, healthy snacks, vegetables and even dried fish & jerky meats. It is the easiest, healthiest and most economical method of preserving foods naturally in the home. You can even make yoghurt or dry materials for crafting.

For those with allergies or concerns about the presence of artificial additives and preservatives in our food this is an essential kitchen tool.  It is easier than canning or freezing - simply wash, slice and load the food onto the trays and within hours (time varies depending upon the produce) food will be ready to eat or store. Perfect for gardeners or market shoppers who have a surplus of seasonal produce to enjoy beyond it's 'fresh' life.

Food drying is an ancient process of preserving food that works by removing the water content that bacteria, yeasts and moulds need to grow.  As food dries the natural flavours and sugars concentrate which intensifies the taste, and keeps intact the nutrients and healthy enzymes that are often destroyed by cooking.

the Excalibur dehydrator features:

• A unique Parallexx™ drying system for even horizontal airflow - eliminating the need to re-stack trays.
• Adjustable precision temperature control and a 26 hour timer.  Hyperwave Fluctuation™ technology ensures consistent drying of the whole produce, not just a dried exterior with moisture still inside and vulnerable to bacteria.
• The fan, heating element, and adjustable thermostat are mounted in the rear. Cool air is drawn in the back, heated up, and distributed evenly across each tray. The warm air is pushed out the front of the machine.
• The Excalibur is considered the only dehydrator suitable for drying food to be ground into powder (spices etc).
• Removable trays allow for customising the drying space to accomodate different sized items. Trays are dishwasher safe.
• The trays have a grid base with spaces in between, we recommend using a silicone baking mat if you need a seamless surface.
• Electronic components are mounted to the back so there is no risk of exposure to the food (spills etc).
• Manufactured from medical grade recycled plastics (door, trays, handles & outer casing).
• Low wattage power consumption - averages about 7c of electricity per hour.
• No harmful fumes emitted due to the low heat, unlike lower quality styrene dehydrators.
