What is a food dehydrator?

A food dehydrator is a device that removes moisture from food to preserve and extend its shelf life. A food dehydrator uses a heat source and air flow to reduce the water content of foods, which is usually very high - 80% to 95% for fruits and vegetables and 50% to 75% for meats. Removing moisture from food restrains various bacteria from growing and spoiling food, and reduces its weight.

How does it work?

A food dehydrator's basic parts normally consist of a heating element, a fan, air vents allowing for air circulation and food trays to lay food upon. These elements work simultaneously for hours applying a constant temperature and adequate air flow until the food is dried to a substantially lower water content, usually less than 20%.

Most foods are dehydrated at temperatures of 130 °F, or 54 °C, although meats being made into jerky should be dehydrated at a higher temperature of 155 °F, or 68 °C, or preheated to those temperature levels, to guard against pathogens that may be in the meat.

Who should use a food dehydrator?

  • Anyone who loves dried foods and wants to taste the real deal
  • Restaurants owners, chefs and professionals who work in the hospitality industry
