Stay on top of the eat-healthy game! The Cook's Companion Turbo Dehydrator lets you dehydrate your own foods easily and conveniently - no more store bought snacks for you. For the uninitiated, dehydrating is the process of heating food to evaporate moisture inside the food and then removing the water and vapor that is formed. The resulting "dried foods" are tasty, nutritious, lightweight, easy to prepare, store and use. There’s so much variety! Create yummy snacks from strawberry-apple fruit leather, to glazed cinnamon banana chips, beef jerky and more!

Your dehydrator comes with five trays so you can dehydrate a lot of fruits, meats and veggies as the trays stack on top of one another to help more air flow through the unit. Or, if you like to dry your own flowers and herbs for that aromatic essence you love to display and use in your home, this is the little 'big' machine for you. The compact design is easy to use - after a minimal prep work - and store in small spaces. In short, this dehydrator is super versatile - preserve and dry fruit, veggies, herbs and spices, jerky, jams / jellies, fruit rollups and even make potpourri. Plus, the only dehydrator offered in an array of fashion colors to fit in with any kitchen decor.

Care and Setup Instructions:
  • Trays: To clean your dehydrator trays, soak them in a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Use a soft bristled brush to remove remaining food particles. Do not use sharp utensils, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. The trays can be washed on the rack of your dishwater on low heat.

Operating Instructions:
  • Prior to first use, remove the protective plastic from pieces. Layer the desired number of trays being used on the base after placing items being dehydrated flat on tray, not overlapping contents. Be sure to place the trays with the words "Top Side" facing up. Place lid on top of top tray.
  • Plug in machine and turn on by turning the dial and setting to the desired temperature. Let machine run for the desired time for dehydration.
