Nesco FD-1040 Fruit Dryer – deshidratador of Fruit

Me gusto mucho lo facil del control de temperatura y tiempo, es muy intuitivo y sencillo. Los materiales son muy resistentes y ligeros a la vez. Se limpian facilmente. Lo unico que no esperaba, aunque no es un problema, fue su tamaño, es voluminoso y grande. Desarmado se puede almacenar en cualquier lugar.

I had a dehydrator years ago and didn't know what to do with it so I gave it away and I'm glad I did because this is a much better unit. This is not for the lazy. It takes more work than stopping at the grocery store or fast food to prepare, dry and store the final product. So if you don't have the time or energy, I recommend passing on this. A co-worker at work makes jerky and because of the high cost in the stores, I knew I had to give it a whirl. I started looking for the best value and accessories and this unit caught my eye. So far, I have dried, apples, carrots, cilantro, oregano. As my garden starts producing, I expect this will get a lot more use! Can't wait for fall when apples are ready to make fruit roll ups. Pros: Timer, timer , timer and shut-off. this is a must have in my opinion Top mounted heater unit. No worries about the bottom getting spills or dirty Easy to clean trays. Just wipe off with soap, water and cloth Each tray seems to dry at about the same rate. Top may be slightly quicker being closer to the heating element Easy to read to set temp and time for what is being dried Mostly made in USA. This is always a plus for me Cons: Really none so far. If I was to list anything, I think it's a little large, warm and noisy (not terribly so) so I set it up in the garage. Bought 2 extra trays because four really aren't enough Not really a con, but as I mentioned, it is a little time consuming. But what isn't if you want something great. Can't speak to the jerky spice as I made my own recipe after reading many on line. And my jerky was the bomb!

The drier works well, but it produces such a roar that you really don't want to be in the same room with it.

I've tried 3 other brands of dehydrators and this is by far the best one. At a 1000 watts it has extra power to spare and is expandable up to 20 trays. I currently use it with 10 trays and it's still a really efficient dehydrator that could easily take more trays.

Funciona de maravilla y deshidrata bastante rápido y muy bien la comida Sobre todo la comida deshidratada realza en su sabor ;Lo uso para frutas y para setas
