Dehydrator
Although many foods can be dehydrated in the oven, stand-alone dehydrators are more convenient and produce better results without heating up your kitchen. An essential perk during the long hot days of summer when many gardeners are harvesting the bulk of their produce. The Excalibur Food Dehydrator includes nine spacious and easy to load trays that are also dishwasher-safe.
