Quick-Dry Food Dehydrator by Good Cooking

The new Quick Dry Food Dehydrator contains four trays to dry large batches of foods at once.  The shelves nest for easy storage.   Eric, Bite of the Best team  - I recently tested this lightweight, user-friendly unit that's easily programmable with only four buttons, even the novice epicurean can feel like an accomplished chef. The dehydrator operates at a sound similar to the low stove-top fan setting; the washable trays make clean-up a breeze. I  suggest this product for the at-home cook looking to venture into the art of dried food - it's easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store!
