Best Dehydrator

Skip the snack aisle at the grocery store and make healthy DIY treats with the Hamilton Beach Digital Food Dehydrator with 5 Stackable Trays. The 5 BPA-free trays provide up to 4.2 square feet of drying space. The powerful 500 watt base-mounted heater and quiet fan ensure constant airflow for consistent, even drying without having to rotate the trays. From homemade beef jerky to chewy fruit snacks and crispy kale chips, you'll create a variety of delicious and healthy snacks without extra sugar and other additives. Simply clean and slice your food of choice, apply seasoning if desired, arrange the pieces on the stackable drying trays and adjust the temperature from 100 to 160ºF. The digital timer can be set from 1 hour up to 48 hours, and the food dehydrator automatically shuts off when the time is up. In just a short time, you'll enjoy wholesome foods like banana chips and dried strawberries for your morning oatmeal, dried tomatoes for homemade pizza, or protein-rich jerky for snacking. Easily check foods as they dehydrate through the clear vented lid. The trays and lid are dishwasher safe* for easy cleanup. Hand wash the mesh screen that's included for drying herbs.
