Stackable
Recommended View more details.

We recommend food dehydrators that score at least 80% overall.

Fruit leather score View more details.

Fruit leather is a dehydrated fruit puree. Fiona uses food with a high moisture content to assess the dehydrators ability to dry evenly, using the fruit roll accessory provided with each product.

Beef jerky score View more details.

We make beef jerky as there's an importance on food safety as well as dehydrating evenly. The jerky should bend like leather and have a slight resistance to biting.
