| mattzcoz's Full Review: Excalibur Dehydrator |
I did some research and a little experimentation before settling on this gem. I first tried a well-known consumer-level circular model from a mega-national-store, and was sorely disappointed in the quality, function and noise; it was returned after my sad experience.
I've dehydrated in the oven; it does work, but is more tedious; you need to make sure via an accurate thermometer or experience that the temp is correct, and, well, it just seems more messy. But it is cheaper initially than going out and buying a dehydrator - it's your choice.
When I got a bit serious about dehydrating, for hiking food, I got an Excalibur. I like to research things and get the best I can for what I can afford, and this is it.
I've been using the 5-tray model for a couple of years now, and it just works, like a simple tool. Mine came with a booklet about a dehydrating, which was a decent start, but I also got a book by Mary Bell, the "Complete Dehydrator Cookbook", which is a good place to start.
