For those with dehydrators, snacking offers a wide range of healthier alternatives that can be made at home. Popular dried snacks: apple chips, kale chips, sun-dried tomatoes, banana chips and corned beef.

Advantages of a food dryer

Food dehydrators are a relatively small investment that can pay off big for you and your family. From healthier food to saving money, here are some of the benefits you should expect when you buy a food dehydrator.

1. It can save you money that you spend on snacks.
2. It will help you avoid food waste as you can turn any fresh produce from the garden or the last shopping basket into a dried snack to eat later.
3. Food dehydrators make it possible to snack on fruits and vegetables at any time of the year.
4. Turn your snacking habit into a healthy one. Instead of reaching for sweet chocolate or salty potato chips, you can snack on healthier, more nutritious foods. Dried fruits can help satisfy hunger and provide benefits to the body at the same time.

Types of food dryers

When you start looking for the best food dehydrator, you'll notice that most models fall into two main categories: vertical and horizontal.

Vertical food dryers

When the food is placed vertically and the heat source is installed at the top or bottom.

• Does not dry as evenly as horizontal ones.
• To achieve better results, you will need to change the trays, which takes extra time.
• Not very suitable for drying meat.

Horizontal food dryers

When the food is arranged horizontally, in other words, according to the principle of a conventional oven. The heating source is at the back. These dryers are more PREMIUM level than vertical models. This is because horizontal dryers dry more evenly. For this reason, they are an ideal choice for drying meat and making cured beef. This type of dryer is more convenient to use - it is enough to put it together and leave it on until the end, without performing additional steps.

Advantages:

• Even and efficient drying.
• Can be used for meat and harder vegetables.
• Simple to use (no additional manual work required).
• More ambitious recipes can be tried.

The importance of heat distribution and air flow

Food drying (or dehydration) is a fairly simple concept. In this process, the food is kept at a constant temperature long enough and at a high enough temperature to dry out some of the moisture. The biggest challenge is to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the food being dried. Some foods will inevitably be further away from the dryer's heat source, but the efficient airflow provided by the GRAEF horizontal food dryer helps to achieve good results.

Thermostat:

Different types of food dry best at different temperatures, so it's important to adjust the temperature of your machine for best results. The GRAEF dryer is equipped with an adjustable thermostat that allows you to adjust the temperature from 30°C to 70°C, which is especially useful when you plan to dry more than one type of food.

Timer:

Food drying takes several hours, so it is easy to forget about it. The GRAEF dehydrator with a timer of up to 40 hours helps ensure that you can check your food when needed and be alerted when it is ready.

Automatic shutdown:

If you want to start the process of drying food and then go on to other activities or go to bed, a dehydrator with an automatic shut-off function is ideal.
