Magic Mill, Dehydrator | Digital Adjustable Timer and Temperature Control - Electric Food Preservation Machine with Powerful Drying Capacity (5 Stainless Steel Trays)

Fontionne tres bien

I have used this dehydrator several times to dehydrate meats (steak, chicken breast, thighs, and gizzards) and fruits (strawberries and oranges) and have been extremely satisfied with the results. The dehydrator comes with a little "cookbook" that was super helpful in determining the temperature and times that would be required for each item. The touch controls are sensitive and it is easy to overshoot times/temperatures when first using. The timer is accurate and is set in 30 minute increments, but displays the time remaining per minute which I like. While operating, the machine is quiet, with just a fan noise that isn't loud enough to hear outside of the kitchen. Whatever you are dehydrating will fill your space with an aroma, the fruits gave off a wonderful smell, but the meat/proteins can be a punch in the face when you open a door to the room/house - especially if unseasoned (like when making dog treats). The trays are sturdy and had no burs on the metal mesh which was an awesome discovery, especially for a product of this price. The trays are easy to clean, but I have cleaned them all by hand so I cannot speak on the dishwasher. The produced products have been delicious, and when I have made dog treats my dog has preferred them over store bought ones. Some tricks that I learned while operating this product: - Place thicker/larger items on closer to the bottom otherwise you'll have longer dehydration times - Fattier items (like chicken thighs) are more likely to stick to your trays, try to remove some of the fat - Slightly twisting the trays when the food is done will help pop items off and doesn't warp or damage the tray - Use a scrubbing brush when cleaning the trays, a rough sponge will get grated like cheese - The cookbook gives temperature ranges, using a middle temp. produced the best results I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking to use a dehydrator for making their own dehydrated fruits, garnish, jerky, or dog treats. It is extremely easy to use this product and it has produced fantastic results!

Works great

This dehydrator is amazing. It’s not top gear but it works like it is. The function is very easy as far as the settings. I’ve used it at least 3 times a week and it always does a great job. I mainly make beef jerky, apple chips and strawberry’s. It’s a great buy for the price. It’s not very loud. Doesn’t get concerningly hot. The plastic doesn’t melt or stick together and I can fit a good amount of jerky/ apples in at one time so it’s got good capacity. I plan on buying the extra racks so I can get more done at once. Overall very happy with my purchase

It does what I need it to do.
