Home Food Dehydrator for Mushroom Preservation and More

This mushroom dehydrator is neatly sized to fit in a corner of your kitchen while it slowly dries foods for preservation. It is available in silver and red, and you can choose between 5 or 8 trays. The attached video gives a clear idea of how it is used.

When growing mushrooms, there are moments when you have too many to simply keep in the fridge. In a couple of days, fresh mushrooms can go bad. Drying them and removing their moisture is the logical solution. A mushroom dehydrator helps preserve them, while further concentrating their flavour, so they can be stored for weeks when kept properly in a dry, dark place such as a cupboard.

Apart from drying fresh mushrooms, this food dehydrator for mushrooms can also be used for a variety of other foods, including fruits, vegetables and meat jerky. It is important to combine foods with similar textures and consistencies. For example, meat takes much longer to dry properly, so it should be dehydrated separately. The unit can also be used to make pet food.

Preparation is very important. Foods should be sliced into thin pieces of about 3 to 5 mm, as shown in the video, to make the drying process more efficient and even. The adjustable temperature and fan speed can be set to suit different foods, and a timer function can also be set.

This product is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

It is normal that food placed in the lower trays dries much faster than food placed in the top trays. Drying certain foods can take several hours. With use and experience, you will learn how long different foods take and which trays work best for them.

If food in the lower trays dries faster, simply remove it from the stack and continue drying the food on the upper trays.
