WHAT IS THE FOOD DEHYDRATORS?

food dehydrator

A food dehydrator is a device that removes moisture from food to aid in its preservation. Food drying is a method of preserving fruit, vegetables, and meats.

The water content of food is usually very high, typically 80–95% for various fruits and vegetables and 50–75% for various meats.

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

The key to successful food dehydration is the application of a constant temperature and adequate airflow. Too high a temperature can cause hardened foods, food that is hard and dry on the outside but moist, and therefore vulnerable to spoiling, on the inside.
