\"\"<\/a><\/strong>We are excited to announce<\/strong>… that we are now an Authorized Affiliate<\/strong> of Excalibur dehydrators<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0There are 2 dehydrators that we really recommend, that line up with the standards we have for choosing a dehydrator that really works. Each has its own pluses. (See our Dehydrator Resources & Recommendations<\/a><\/strong> to see those “what to look for” guidelines.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Excalibur<\/strong> was the first dehydrator I used, 25 or so years ago. The biggest plus (in my opinion) that the Excalibur<\/strong> has over our other top pick is its large drying compartment, allowing you (when you take trays out)\u00a0to put larger items in, like dishes or jars, for making “raw food” recipes – like yogurt or bars, raising bread, or even drying bouquets or other craft projects. The other thing I really like about it is the front door and slide in trays (like an oven). That makes it really convenient to add and remove foods. The Excalibur<\/strong> also has square trays \u00a0with no hole in the middle, which is handy when you want\/need a solid square shaped food. And, without the motor\/fan on the bottom, crumbs and spills are more easily cleaned up. No danger of harming your motor\/fan from food getting in it.<\/p>\n

Other features, that it shares with our other top pick, for good dehydrating are:<\/p>\n
