NESCO Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator
A dehydrator can help your preserve a wide variety of foods. For the hiker or the backpacker you can make long lasting snacks for the trail. If you have kids, you can make nutritious snacks that your kids will love.
I’ve dehydrated foods in my oven, but this dehydrator will do the job more gently to preserve the flavors. You could also get a freeze dryer, which will dry foods completely but those cost $2000-4000 and take even longer.
You can use your dehydrator to dry fruits, vegetables, herbs, or flowers. You can also make beef jerky or fruit leathers.
