Excalibur 2900 Food Dehydrator - Two Reasons to Own One

When asking Santa for an early present the Excalibur 2900 food dehydrator is a perfect request. What better way to bring elevated health conscience eating habits for your family and loved ones. Having a home food dehydrator is a good first step to a healthier and happier family. The practice of home food dehydrating is a cost effective way to reduce your food budget.

Parallexx Air Flow System: A dehydrator is a simple piece of kitchen equipment, a box with a heater and a fan. Now beyond that there is a big difference in the technology in today's food dehydrators. When drying food there are two ways to dry. Vertical and horizontal, the less effective units will employ the vertical methodology. These are typically a round unit with the heater and fan on the bottom and air forced up to the top through a center hole in the trays. This method will require the extra labor in turning and rotating of the trays to achieve a quality end result. It will work, but at added involvement to get the job done. The Parallexx concept from Excalibur is unmatched in design. This is a rear mounted fan forced, thermostat controlled system. The air movement is horizontal and is the preferred methodology. This is the best way to dry the food product, by bringing in the cool air in the back warming it and pushing it evenly across all trays with equal efficiency.

Cleanliness and Sanitation: With the square design of the Excalibur 2900 food dehydrator, cleaning is a snap. With the heating unit in the back out of the way of the trays and the food, there is no chance of dripping from the trays getting into the electrical system. The trays are completely removable and dishwasher safe. The door is removable for complete cleaning. Sanitizing the drier is a simple task. The trays are made of FDA approved materials, a polycarbonate.

So ask Santa soon for an early present because you have been a good person all year long. A home food dehydrator may not fit in a stocking but it sure would look good on a kitchen cabinet.

Happy Drying and Happier Eating.
