INTRODUCTION
®
Working on a simple premise, the Excalibur
Dehydrator removes water from food
by a continuous circulation of thermostatically-controlled warm air. A variety of
foods, from bright golden kernels of farm-fresh corn to rings of island-sweetened
pineapple can be dehydrated. Produce, however, is not the only food commonly
preserved in a food dryer! Slices of beef, chicken, fish or even venison can be
marinated in a combination of sauces and spices and easily transformed into
homemade jerky. A carton of yogurt spread over a sheet of Paraflexx
or plastic
®
wrap, dries, and becomes a vividly colored, taffy-like snack or fruit roll.
