Nesco Snackmaster FD-61

(Rochester, MN)

LOVE my Snackmaster FD-61 food dehydrator - Dries everything fast. I think the hole in the middle helps with this. It has variable temperature, which is great. I bought a set that included mesh trays, plastic trays for leathers and a jerky gun. Very inexpensive for a really good dehydrator.

WISH - I like the idea of being able to put bigger things in the dehydrator (other than boots ;-), maybe raise dough, etc.

ISSUE - The outer and inner edges dry faster, but I don't rotate. I put the bigger parts on the edges and the thinner parts toward the center band of the tray. Hope this helps. -No name

I have this also, but not the kit. Made excellent Jerky with ground turkey following included directions. Dehydrated vegetables, meat and eggs well under max recommended times. Nothing to compare to since it is first dehydrator. Am well pleased with it.
