The Excalibur 3900 is my favorite dehydrator, and it lives on my kitchen counter. Whether you’re a gardener, hunter, bulk shopper, raw foodie, or just a family looking to eat healthier, this addition to your kitchen will make life easier.
Excalibur has been “the” dehydrator in the raw food community, Culinary Institutes, and restaurants for 35 years. It is a great home dehydrator also. It is Made in America. It has the fan in the back (for the air to evenly cover each tray), nearly square slide-in trays (with no center holes, and convenient loading/ unloading), and temp settings from 95°/105 – 155°/165 F.
One advantage I love about the Excalibur is that by removing trays, you create a larger space to put larger things in it–such as taller jars for making yogurt, or baking pans for dehydrating bars or raising bread.
Screens are included (for dehydrating solid food). Solid sheets (for fruit leathers and other non-solid foods) are available as Premium (non-stick) or Ultra (silicone). I highly recommend the silicone “Ultra” ones as a safer/healthier option. (Purchase separately).
