Food dehydrators are modern tools used in the ancient art of food preservation. The removal of moisture from meats, vegetables, fruits, and herbs creates a final product that does not need refrigeration. It also changes the taste and texture of the food in positive ways. Food dehydrators are simple to use and easy to maintain.
Food dehydrators are commonly used to create homemade jerky, dried fruits for snacks, and dried herbs for cooking. Typically, for meat, strips are initially preserved with a salt or brine solution, then treated or marinated for flavor. The finished product has an appealing texture and an infused flavor. Dried fruits from a food dehydrator are ideal for snacks and are commonly used when camping or hiking. There are many styles of dehydrators and an abundance of recipes available.
