Why should I dehydrate food myself?

Food storage is on everyones lips. Having the nutrients of foods still intact and using no artificial chemicals to achieve this after the foods are out-of-season is an added bonus. Just reading the list of ingredients in commercially prepared "dried" foods can lead one to get an experts opinion and an expert who holds an industrial chemist’s degree. And to add to the chemicals used for preservation and other purposes that are already being added to the dehydrated foods you buy in the supermarkets, some may also contain saturated fats indicating that the food may have been fried rather than simply having the moisture removed.

For 34 years, Excalibur has been the #1 choice for home food dehydration or the small business environment.

The Excalibur Dehydrator is Environmentally Friendly

The Excalibur has a Unique Drying System

Excalibur dehydrators feature the Parallexx™ Drying System for even drying.

Horizontal airflow provides even drying, eliminating tray re-stacking.
Drying is fast and heat is not lost as the dehydrator doesn’t need to be taken apart to change the tray sequence.
This temperature controlled, fan forced, horizontal drying system is mounted in the rear of the unit. Cool air is drawn in the back, heated and distributed evenly across each tray, pushing moisture out of the front of the machine.

Make your own healthy LIVING FOODS.

No such thing as “too many tomatoes!” The Excalibur dehydrator is the perfect companion to high-production gardening. You process fruits and vegies all through the season; you don’t need big batches, but you can process big harvests; preparation & cleanup are minimal; dried foods take little storage space and they keep indefinitely.

Hyperwave™ Fluctuation Technology

The Excalibur Dehydrator has Exceptional Performance Excalibur dries BETTER, FASTER & SAFER thanks to our Hyperwave™ Fluctuation Technology

Ordinary dehydrators produce constant, unchanging heat causing “case hardening,” a dry surface with moisture trapped inside — a perfect environment for yeast, mold, and bacteria growth.
Excalibur’s Adjustable Thermostat lets you take advantage of Hyperwave Fluctuation (changing heat through the drying cycle) for faster, better, safer dried foods.

As the temperature fluctuates up the surface moisture evaporates. Then as the temperature fluctuates down the inner moisture moves to the drier surface. The food temperature stays LOW enough to keep the enzymes active, and the air temperature gets high enough to dry food fast, overcoming yeast, mold, and bacteria growth and spoilage.

The World’s Best Quality Most Versatile Dehydrator Ever!

With removable trays, you can dry just about anything!

Dishwasher safe trays are equipped with removable inserts - loading and unloading is a snap, and cleanup is easy
Removable trays let you customize drying space for small or large items eg; 1.25 litre yogurt which is impossible in a stackable dehydrator
Lots of drying space, so you handle large volumes up to 10 times faster
