Excalibur 9-Tray Food Dehydrator with Timer

The Excalibur 9-Tray Food Dehydrator with Timer is a large-capacity dehydrator for drying fruit, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms and other ingredients gently and consistently. With nine trays, it offers plenty of drying space for seasonal produce, larger batches and regular kitchen or bakery use.

Use it for apple rings, plums, tomatoes, mango, herbs, vegetable crisps, fruit rolls and dried ingredients for baking. Drying can intensify flavour, reduce waste and help preserve produce when you have more than you can use fresh. Dried cherry tomatoes, apple slices and mango pieces are especially useful as snacks or baking ingredients.

The 9-tray format gives much more capacity than a smaller domestic dehydrator, making it useful if you regularly dry garden produce or want to prepare several ingredients at once. As a rough guide, two sliced mangoes can fill one tray, so nine trays offer a substantial amount of drying space.

The timer is useful for longer drying jobs, especially overnight drying, helping avoid over-drying once the set time has finished. Set the temperature according to the ingredient being dried and follow the supplied instruction book for guidance on timings and preparation.

As well as fruit and vegetables, the dehydrator can be used for herbs, covered dough proving, yoghurt making, fruit rolls and other kitchen preparations where steady, controlled warmth and airflow are useful.
