dehydrators

[Guest guest]

Hi !

150 degrees is still plenty hot and destroys lots of good enzymes and such.

plus, it's hard to dry things like sweet potato chips. nuts seem to do better

and dry just fine in the oven. before i had a dehydrator, i did soaked almonds

in the oven and they were delicious and better tasting roasted than just dried.

But, of course, I was losing too many nutrients. If you do the oven route, you

can always use parchment paper from the health food store. But there are also

stainless steel dehydrators is you're concerned about plastic. I think

www.pleasanthillgrain.com carries them. I really like this company.

They carry some pretty impressive dehydrators. WOW! My dilemma is that

we are working to be off-grid. All of these units take WAY too much

power to use easily in such a situation. So I guess I'm looking into

solar dehydrators myself.

Thanks, Lea Ann-I was fishing around in my kitchen drawer looking for a tape

measure to measure for her-you beat me to it! Now, how do I cram all these

gadgets back in this drawer...surely they fit in there in the first place

I agree that the 9 tray is worth the extra. I bought a 5 tray and have often

wished I had gone for the bigger one. I no longer need one that big, but wish I

had gone bigger to start with.

Thanks very much for your prompt reply, . The ability to place the 32 oz.

jar inside the unit is an important point to consider. I may just have to

consider the 9-tray unit for that purpose. Glad to hear you are pleased with

your square Nesco. I have always been pleased with my Nesco appliances. Thanks

again!

take advantage of a sale they are currently running, which ends this evening. I

already have a 5-tray round Nesco, which does a decent job, but now I want the

" better " dehydrator. On the Excalibur site, they indicate that the 5-tray model

is best suited for small families, so that's what I was planning to buy. Again,

I do have my Nesco too. Would you recommend that I go with the 9-tray model vs.

the 5-tray? Thanks in advance!

[Guest guest]

Go nine trays. You can always use less trays, but you wouldn't be able to use more if you went with the 5. I frequently use 6 trays. I don't aim for this just whatever I'm doing. Whether it's jerky or fruit leathers.

Thanks for answering. There are 8 white 5 tray dehydrators for sale for $159 on

Excalibur's ebay store - thanks Lea Ann for telling me about this. But I guess

I will wait until they have a 9 tray one for sale there. I don't care if there

is a scratch or dent in it.

Janet

[Guest guest]

Don't forget, the Excaliber is not just for dehydrating. You can take some/all

of the trays out and put a big bowl of bread dough in it to raise, or make

yogurt in it. Have even heard of someone using one to dry wet mittens!! So the

ability to remove trays make it even more flexible.

I bought a "scratch and dent" 9-tray model and couldn't find ANY blemish at all! I think you will be happy with the decision to wait - especially the first time you use all 9 trays. Also, as said, making yogurt was a breeze using the 9-tray model with the large glass mason jars.

I would buy the 9. If you buy the 5 and end up with a bunch of something

you want to dehydrate, you may end up over several days running multiple

batches. You can always run just a try or to with the 9 (or 5) but if

you have a bunch it is easier to run it full and get it done in one

run. I have owned a 9 tray Excal since 1981 or thereabouts.

Oops, missed part of your message. I do not know about the 5 tray, but

between my 9 tray units trays there is about an inch, plenty for stuff

such as sliced fruit, carrots, celery, onions, etc. If I am running

" fat " stuff such as whole or torn kale leaves, I simply place the trays

on alternating slots.

I have the 9 tray one, we are a family of 2 1/2 (well my husband, myself and our

toddler). I find that when we do big batches of stuff (like drying fruit) we

use all the trays. When I'm making stuff like Kale chips, I'm using 5 trays.

Sometimes I only use a couple of trays like when I'm drying grains that I soaked

and sprouted.

The biggest reason I love the 9 tray one however is because I can use it to make

yogurt, and my yogurt comes out perfect. I'm not sure you could use a 5 tray

excaliber to make a big batch of yogurt. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I would definitely not hesitate to get the larger one, as there isn't a huge

difference in price and its nice to have the extra space.

I have to second the results with yogurt. I've only made yogurt ONCE in my life but the results were perfect (kind of afraid to try again and mess up my prefect record ;-)

I have often made yogurt in my 5 tray Excalibur, but you can only use the

smaller mason jars. I wish I had bought the 9 tray for that very reason, as I

often have an overabundance of raw milk and yogurt is the perfect way to use it.

I make goat milk yogurt for my daughter and put it in single serving size 4oz mason jars on my Excalibur trays. Easiest way in the world to make yogurt. Totally blows all my other methods out of the water. TJ

[Guest guest]

I've also used the excaliber to make coconut yogurt which turned out so very

yummy. This is a nice alternative for those that are dairy free. You just have

to make sure to get a good dairy free starter which I've only found online.

You can also use your vitamix to blend up the coconut meat with some water (or

the coconut water from the cracked coconut - or even use kefired coconut water).

Then you can use that instead of commercial coconut milk to make your yogurt and

its absolutely amazing!

I would like to try to make coconut yogurt when I get my dehydrator. Can you

tell me exactly how to do it? I have not made yogurt in many years.

I LOVE my Excalibur. It is the "Vitamix" of dehydrators. I bought a reconditioned (I think they call them factory blemished) one (they still have the full 10-year warranty as a new machine and I could not find a single dent or blemish of ANY kind. I highly recommend the 9-tray version. If you are going to get one, you might as well spend the extra $$$ because you can always dehydrate fewer trays, but when you want to do a bigger batch, if you have the smaller machine, you are limited to the fewer trays. Also, if you are dehydrating big, fluffy things that require every other tray to be removed, you would want the larger unit. And finally, I am able to make yogurt using the large, 1/2 gallon mason jar - it would not fit in the 5-tray model.I love the timer on my Excalibur also - very handy. The only drawbacks to dehydrating is the sound - the sound of the fan gets annoying, so I've moved mine to the family room (a room I don't use as much as the kitchen).

I know dehydrators have been discussed in the past and as I recall Excalibur and Nesco were thought of highly. I am looking at the following and would love to hear any feed back on these or others.

Two of them are Excalibur, and the others are LeQuipe, and Nesco.

Hi Tom,I think that the Excaliber is supposed to be the "king" of dehydrators, according to those who know. Since I couldn't afford one, I bought a Nesco http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-FD-75PR-700-Watt-Food-Dehydrator/dp/B000FFVJ3C/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden & ie=UTF8 & qid=1343481830 & sr=1-1 & keywords=dehydrator that I've been very pleased with.

I did look at the Sedona and it looked very nice. I liked the two fans and heating elements allowing you to use half the dehydrator if making a small batch of the full 9 trays if making a large batch. Omega is another choice in the high end dehydrator market that seems to be very good. Both look to me to be newcomers and at cost of near $400 I would like to see a little more history. The reviews on Amazon for the Sedona are less than stellar for such an expensive machine.

I looked at Excalibur web site and they do have a " Factory Refurbished " 3900 model for $199. This is a 9 tray model but without the timer. Purchasing a refurbished comes with some limitations including free shipping. A new 3900 cost $249 and you get free shipping. In this case you only are saving $50 to begin with and if you have to pay shipping that will eat into much of that. How many Paraflexx sheets did you buy? The 9 tray with a timer is $300. Do you believe the timer is worth an additional $50? Tom Free Shipping does not apply to this model- *** Due to the Extreme Discounted Price other Discounts or Coupons are NOT Valid on this Item, 30 Day Trial Does Not Apply to this item, Unit is NON-Returnable*** Paraflexx sheets must be purchased separately.
