Does anyone have a food dehydrator?

I imagined that they would be expensive, but just looked on amazon and see they aren't.  Anyone have a review?  My son is a fruit fiend but the dried stuff is so expensive I'd love to try my own.  What do you use it for?

  • We have a Nesco one from Bed Bath & Beyond, it's pretty basic.  We use it mostly for jerky, but I have done some fruit in it and it's ok.  It's been over a year, but I did kiwi, apples, and a few other things that I can't remember now, the kiwi turned out awesome.  They were really, really sweet, and I love kiwi fresh like crazy, but I loved these too.  The apples I didn't like, I did a lemon soak beforehand to keep them from browning and I think I used too much lemon, not enough water, because once dried, they tasted like lemony apples :(  They would have been much better had I paid better attention to my soaking method I'm sure.

  • It's funny you wrote this. My BF just was saying that this was the only thing her H wanted for Father's day. Lo & behold, she bought it for him. She doubts he'll ever use it, but I'll tell her she can do fruit roll ups!
