Re: where to purchase a dehydrator?

[Guest guest]

I found mine on ebay and was patient enough to wait unitl I got a good deal

But of course that's online too.

To: btvc-scd Sent: Sat, January 30, 2010 12:16:43 PMSubject: where to purchase a dehydrator?

I'd like to buy a dehydrator. The one I want is the small excalibur model. However, it appears that the only way I can buy that is to order online. Does anyone know of a way to get an excalibur without having to order one online? I saw some online at a store called Cabala's (walk in store), but there isn't one of those stores where I live. Any suggestions on what stores might carry them?

Thanks!

I'd order it from Lucy's Kitchen Shop. She's a long-time SCDer, a friend

of Elaine, and the service is excellent. I bought three Excaliburs

from her (2 for me and one for a gift.)

Speaking of dehydrators, I have one but have only used it a few times.

It's not the kind you use Marilyn. I made banana chips a few times

but they stick to the plate and I blister my fingers.

Can you line the trays with parchment or anything? I also tried

spraying it once but it doesn't last as long as it takes to dry

something out here. This may be a good time of year to try it again

though.

I would think you could line your trays with parchment, though I've never

needed to. Parchment ought to let the air through so things can dry,

although you might want to consider turning the items over halfway

through the drying.

That's one thing I have to admit I also like about the Excalibur...

things come loose easy, and even the stickiest, messiest trays clean up

super easy.

The excalibur dehydrator comes with (or you can buy separately) teflex sheets

that help with foods sticking to the trays. Perhaps the manufacturer makes

something similar for your brand of dehydrator?

PS - how did you blister your fingers?

Yeah, it's the honey that makes them stick so much. Someday, when I'm more

advanced in the diet, I may try to use stevia instead (not technically legal).

don't know a thing about dehydrators and what is good or evil with them, but

meringues didn't stick to the paper in those days. Of course I'm sure you are

not using sugar so perhaps there's a content/stickiness difference, but just an

idea.
