Dehydrator

Make your own dehydrated meals for tramping, camping, and more. 

This dehydrator can be used for both meals, and just normal food preservation like dehydrated peaches and apples. You can also make your own fruit leather or beef jerky.

It can take up to approx. 1-2kg of food at a time, giving around 300-700 grams dehydrated weight. 

Dehydrated is different to freeze dried. Dehydration effectively cooks the food while drying, and dries by heating the moisture out. This means dehydrated food is more compact than freeze dried as it shrinks as the air is heated out, but it does take longer to rehydrate than freeze-dried. 

One batch takes approximately 12-36 hours to fully dry depending on what food it is, and how full the dehydrator is. 

Power consumption is approximately 160 watts per hour.
