INTRODUCTION
Working on a simple premise, the Excalibur
®
Dehydrator removes water from food by
a continuous circulation of thermostatically-controlled warm air. A variety of foods, from
bright golden kernels of farm-fresh corn to rings of island-sweetened pineapple can be
dehydrated. Produce however, is not the only food commonly preserved in a food dryer!
Slices of beef, chicken, fish or even venison can be marinated in a combination of sauces
and spices and easily transformed into homemade jerky. A carton of yogurt spread over a
sheet of Paraflexx
or plastic wrap, dries, and becomes a vividly colored, taffy-like snack
or fruit roll.
Operating cost for your Excalibur
®
Dehydrator is approximately 3 - 6 cents per hour. Using
your dehydrator compared to traditional canning or freezing methods will prove to be well
worth your initial low-cost investment.
