Dehydrating food opens a new dimension in preserving fruits (extra fruit sheets are available), vegetables and meats for you. Your new LEQUIP Food Dehydrator will be able to perfectly capture the fresh-picked, in season flavor and nutrition of almost any food for out-of-season eating enjoyment. You will find that drying food is practical, economical, as well as easy. And it all starts with your state-of-the-art LEQUIP Food Dehydrator. Dehydration refers to a process in which moisture is removed from food, allowing the dried food to be stored safely for later use. Few nutrients are lost during dehydration. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dehydrating retains 95-97% of the nutrients in the original food. Canning and freezing, two other popular food-preservation methods, retain only 20-30% and 40-60% respectively. Computer-controlled temperature drying keeps the temperature in the drying chamber at a space-age constant. Food is bathed in a constant stream of warm air, which gently removes moisture. The result is beautifully dried every time. Features include: * 12 Square Feet of Drying Space. * 550W Power Source. * UL/CSA approved. * Computer Controlled Heat Sensor Analyzes Temperature 60 Times per Second to Ensure Stable Drying Temperature. * 12-Year Warranty. * Easy to Use and Clean * Compact and Lightweight
