Last week I got a dehydrator, and this morning I got up early, prep'd 4 pounds of apples and kicked it on. I'm quite excited!
Temp controls are what I need because my current one gets so hot I end up with brown pods regardless of starting color.
What kind of dehydrator do you have?
Excaliburs look really nice. I'd be interested in hearing comparison information as well. My thought was to get the Nesco and learn how to dehydrate, then when I'm more experienced with getting good results, then get the 9-tray Excalibur for large scale dehydration.the Nesco is pretty nice - temp control, quiet... It's very nice.good deal on the dehydrator DD....
I bought an Excalibur a couple of years ago...I really like it...I bought it before I retired

no thread hijack intended but I would love to hear any experience anyone has that can compare the Excalibur to the Nesco...both are American made...
That's cool, DD!
Can you buy extra trays for it?
I'm sure you'll enjoy using it. I use mine mostly for pods, but it works grat on fruit too. Save the palnet... it's the only one with peppers.
I have three of the "Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator" and have only used it on pods thus far. Maybe this summer I'll have more time to try it out on other things.
