I was loading up my "el-cheapo" dehydrator remarking to my DH "boy, we've had great use out of this cheapie little thing, I think it's been ten years". Took it out to the laundry area, plugged it in, walked away. Two hours later, DH says, 'how come the dehydrator is turned off?". Not turned off at all. Dead! Ha. As if on que.
So I ordered one of these babies: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0115X5UGE/ref=pe_386430_203440370_TE_item
You will LOVE this. I have one. I thought I'd use the hell out of it but it languishes downstairs. I know I'd use it more if it were up here......I need to rectify that.
It makes really good jerky. I like all of the different temperatures you have to choose from. My first dehydrator didn't have all those options.
edited to add: mine isn't the same model but it is an Excalibur.
