Fun and easy to use, this countertop food dehydrator makes all-natural beef or turkey jerky, homemade trail mix, apple snacks, banana chips, dried soup mixes, dried herbs and spices, and more in a matter of hours instead of days--it can also be used to make potpourri and dried flowers for any occasion. Simply lay the food out flat on the trays, secure the lid in place, press the toggle switch to "on", and it takes care of the rest. The unit's centrally located heater dries foods quickly and efficiently, while its electric fan circulates air for faster, more even drying with no tray rotation necessary. Four adjustable and removable trays come included. When finished, the lid and trays clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The food dehydrator measures 14 by 13 by 9 inches.
