## Description

The NESCO FD-75A Food and Jerky Dehydrator is perfect to easily dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours. The unit's patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast and even drying. Flavors don't mix, and there's no need to rotate the trays. It's top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit's adjustable thermostat ranged from 95 to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results. It's a 600 watts unit. Five trays come included, but can be expanded to 12 trays (additional trays sold separately) for drying larger quantities. Accessories include two fruit roll sheets, perfect for drying semi-liquids like soups, sauces, and fruit rolls; two Clean-A-Screen flexible screens, which allow for easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices and potpourri; and three original jerky spice packets for making jerky. A 52-page recipe and instruction book included. With a speckled gray design, the food dehydrator measures 13x13x10 inches.

Review: Works great, a must have for anyone seeking to extend and preserve food - I bought this dehydrator mainly to make beef jerky, and after seven months of use we have not been disappointed. So far we have made the following: - beef jerky - orange slices - grapefruit slices - apple slices - banana slices - green beans There are many recipes for beef jerky, but I would recommend the one on allrecipes.com which is a good, hearty, all-around tasty jerky. The Nesco came with packets of jerky spices, but I haven't used them, nor have I used the Nesco recipe. Just slice your beef (an electric knife is best), marinate overnight in a mixture of Worcester, soy sauce, pepper, garlic, onion, cayenne, and pepper flakes, then dehydrate them on high for 8-10 hours. Delicious! The jerky can be tough to chew. They recommend slicing against the grain, to minimize the length of fibers, which does help a bit. I've tried pounding the beef with a 48-blade tenderizer to make the jerky less tough, but it doesn't really make much difference for all of that work, though it does help with marinading more thoroughly. The best solution I've found is simply to take smaller bites, and it's just easier to chew up! Lasts longer, too. The other success story is apple slices. I don't bother with their special fruit tray. Just core and slice the apples (we have one of these old fashioned "Johnny Apple Peeler" hand cranked models that does a whole apple in 10 seconds, a must-have if you do a lot of apples), stick them on the regular trays, and give it about 8 hours on the fruit setting. I freeze the slices afterwards to maximize longevity. I bought a 6-pack of mealy, mediocre apples off the local supermarket discount cart for $1.29 and dehydrated them -- and they turned out sweet and delicious. Then, after a month or two in the freezer, in a freezer bag, they became apple crisps! I would also recommend trying orange slices. Give it a good 12 hours because there's a lot of liquid to evaporate. They come out sort of like orange crackers. They're crunchy and delicious, peel and all. It's not for everyone, perhaps, but a great trail food along with dried apples and beef jerky. The green beans came out unappetizing. Note that one side effect of dehydration is to concentrate the flavor. The grapefruit came out rather bitter. Still not too bad but don't expect it to be a hit with the kids. Some people use it to dehydrate herbs and spices from the garden. We haven't tried this yet but for this, you probably do want to use the provided special tray that has smaller gaps. The product is assembled in the U.S. from domestic and foreign components. That's OK with me; a little is better than nothing. At least they have a factory here. The important thing is that the company make a good quality product that lasts a long time, and so far, there have been zero problems with this unit. If anything goes wrong, I'll update this review. One deficit is the lack of a built-in timer. However, this problem is easily solved with a $5 lamp timer you can get from the hardware store or online. You just set it to turn off at a certain time, and then you can go to bed or go to work with no worries. It's handy when you have prepared a 10-hour batch of beef jerky and it's only 4pm; you can rest assured it will run the required amount of time and shut off at 2am. Jerky is designed to last for weeks at room temperature, so it will be fine to leave it in the machine for a few hours. The salt is a preservative, but without sulfites or other preservatives, it's a good idea to freeze the jerky and it will last you for weeks or months. This is a great appliance that is very easy to use. We love using it, it's not too noisy, and the main problem has been finding a spot to keep it in between uses, in our crowded kitchen. I have just ordered two more trays, to be able to make larger quantities; they just stack right in and add a couple of inches to the height of the unit, no big deal.
Review: 3 years and counting!! - I have now had my dehydrator for 3 whole years. Wow! I thought it was time it deserved a review, considering its' longevity. When I first purchased this, I used it for fruits, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, the like. We had a big garden at our last property and many fruit trees. This little snackmaster was excellent to help me preserve the extra food. We moved onto more land a few years ago and I am more recently using it to make powdered whey (leftover from cheese making) and powdered eggs. For both of those, it is working excellently. I put them on about 135* - 140* and dehydrate them for at least 10 hours, but sometimes it takes longer, like 12 to 16 hours. I really think drying times has to do with your own humidity and other factors. We live in Northeast Texas, and presently, have 62% humidity in our house. Things take a wee longer to dry. I do not worry too much about time nor temperature. To me, they are all guidelines and I just cook them until they are done. This comes with two fruit roll type trays, and those are what I used for milk and eggs. This also comes with other slotted plastic trays. Really, you know all this from reading other people's reviews and the listing. I do not wish to be redundant. I just wish to convey that I, personally, have not had any problems with my machine. It functions as it should, as it has for the last 3 years. I attached a short video of my current project. The dehydrator actually is a quieter than the it comes through on the video. I have two dehydrators running currently to fulfill my egg & milk project for the winter. Oh! I should mention this ==> this dries from the top. To me, after also owning a bottom dryer, the top dryer is preferable. When you have spill overs, and you will, you can easily wash the bottom of this model. It is more difficult for me to wash the bottom of my other one since it houses the electronics. You may not have thought about this, but to me, it is important. And another mention ==> I wash my trays in my dishwasher, no problem. Top rack and no heated dry. Dishwashers run hotter than this baby, it is pretty common sense that without proper positioning, you will warp your trays. I have never done so. So if you do, be smart and be careful! A con to mention. There is no bonafide on and off switch. You just have to plug and unplug it. That to me is weird. Enjoy whatever model you buy! Happy drying!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of metal are the trays made of?**
A: The trays are plastic, not metal.

**Q: does it have a timer**
A: It does not have a timer...  the only thing that this dehydrator does not have!

**Q: Is this loud or quiet? I had one before and the loudness drove me nuts to where  I couldn't use it**
A: It is incredibly quiet, you can stand next to it and whisper and still be heard (my wife and I were doing that talking about presents for the grandkids). Someone called it white noise, and that's a good description.

**Q: The owners manual states to use "precooked or processed" turkey when making turkey jerky to avoid harmful bacteria. Has anyone used raw turkey?**
A: To add to the discussion, water activity and salt also controls bacteria growth, so its not just the temperature that is it is processed. As with dried cured country hams. They are ready to eat after being cured and are not heated to 165 to kill salmonella. So the 160 temperature should be fine..

鶏むね肉やササミを味付け乾燥させて、成長期の子供のおやつを作ると大喜び。 酒の肴にも最適です。 ほか、パセリを小分けにして乾燥し、料理の盛り付け時にクラッシュすると風味も良く パセリ苦手な事も達も喜んで食べてくれます。 鶏皮乾燥させて油で揚げると、最高の皮煎餅になりますが トレーに大量の脂がしたたり、手入れが大変！！ 風呂場のシャワー最高温度で流してます。
