My brother came through and got me a dehydrator for Christmas! It's a Nesco FD-75A 700 watt unit. This particular model has 5 trays included with 2 fruit roll inserts and 2 screens (which I'd like more of). It's a top mounted fan with 95-160 degree thermostat for a range of foods from herbs, to veggies and fruit and meats.
On the way home, I stopped into a Rural King, where, low and behold- I found 2 boxes of 2 additional trays on clearance for $10 (regularly $15 online!) and purchased both those, too! I've got a total of 9 now, full capacity is 12 trays.
As soon as I got home, I got to marinating some venison steak and mixed up some ground venison with the packets of "Original Flavor" jerky spice included in the box. I will be ordering more of the spice packets, it tastes exactly like my favorite store bought brand! It also has a good instructional manual with recipes in the box.
I can't wait to try more recipes and foods. It will definitely come in very handy this coming 2013 harvest season.
