Salton Dehydrator DH100A

I got my dehydrator at a garage sale of all things! The gal used it once to make beef jerky and said it was to much trouble so I ended up paying $5 for it and I love it!

I have made dried fruit with it several times now. All I do is cut up the fruit, banana and apples are favorites, dip them in lemon concentrate and go instantly to the tray so they don't get to much lemon flavor. It just keeps them from turning brown. Once in a while I shake a bit of cinnamon or other spice over the fruit to make it taste really yummy and different. All it takes is 24hrs depending on the thickness of the slices and they should be done! Sometimes more, sometimes less. Just make sure to move the trays around and turn them so that one spot doesn't burn and the others hardly dry at all. It is really a good thing to have one. I cant wait to try the beef jerky recipe I was given. That is the first thing I do when I use the dehydrator again. It's awesome.

It's a Salton DH1000A.
