Finally - a dehydrator!

[Chiliac]

I meant to do it for a while now, but since I actually have some extra money this month, I decided to finally get a dehydrator to cope with the growing number of pods I can pick daily.

Here it is:

It has a timer and can operate at 250, 500 and 700W.

It's not an Excalibur, but I guess/hope it'll do the job!

haven't seen one in that style yet...is the the heating element/fan that sits on top?

its good you got one...I love making powders and using the spice to cook with...

Hey, that's looking great! I'll bet it'll do the job just fine!

Congrats on the new toy!!!!

 

[Chiliac]

AJ, I think it's in the bottom. I'll have to see about that yet, it has still to be delivered, I just ordered it. I am looking forward to making my own powders with much less effort than before!

Thanks, Nat!

congrats on getting a dehydrator. it looks like decent one too & thats cool it has a timer. it looks like the fan is on the top because of the vents & the bottom looks to slim to hold a fan.

 

[cheezydemon]

That looks like a good one.

When mine crapped out, my sweet wife brought one home from target......No Fan.

I might as well use the oven.

Chiliac havent heard of that brand before..Expensive?

 

[Chiliac]

Not that expensive. 60€. Could've saved 5 by buying a version with smaller trays, but decided to get this one. Just got informed that it was shipped, so if I am lucky I'll have it tomorrow!

 

[talas]

Thats not bad at al do you have a link please Chiliac

 

[Chiliac]

Bought it on ebay, guess you got the URL!

Very cool indeed...I also enjoy making powders and cooking with them. There is nothing better than fresh pepper powder. Well, perhaps a fresh pod BTW when you start using it, be sure to have it either outside or next to a window with a fan in it to blow all of the pepper fumes out. If you forget, LOL, you'll quickly remember.

Grats Chiliac. I bought one for christmas and it works great. The fans blow from the bottom up. I already used it for my Paprika supreme peppers and works great.

 

[Chiliac]

It was shipped today, so maybe I'll have it tomorrow. I'll try it immediately, that's for sure!!!

I just bought an American Harvester brand 1000w but no timer an option I wish I had

 

[fineexampl]

So any luck yet chiliac?

 

[Chiliac]

Nope - seems it takes two days (at least) this time! It only takes one day if you don't expect it to arrive anyway I guess. At least I got my new monitor today, better than nothing, hehe!

 

[talas]

Found it Chili cheers buddy

 

[Chiliac]

Coooool!

Belated update.

I received the dehydrator and I am doing a test run right now. Got one tray of chilis and one tray of onions. Should be done in about 6-8 hrs. I'll take some pics and post them when there are any results worth showing.
