Last fall, after eyeing one for quite a while, we finally purchased a dehydrator! We ended up getting the Excalibur 9 Tray Dehydrator from Amazon for about $175! This dehydrator is typically around $230, but we had setup an alert through keepa.com (an awesome Amazon price alert website), so once we saw it hit $175, we snatched it up!
This was our first dehydrator and we jumped right in! The guide that comes with it is great and provides all of the dehydrating times for veggies, fruits, meats, etc. One thing that we didn't pay much attention to at first was trying to keep all cuts and slices similar in size as that does make a big difference.
Here are some photos of some of the things we have dehydrated so far...
Bananas - These were some of our favorites, and the kids loved them as well!
Apples/Pineapples - Another one of our favorites! This was interesting doing these two together as the flavors melded a little bit :)
Cabbage - We actually haven't used this one yet, but plan on using it in soups and stews. I couldn't believe how much this stuff shrunk down!
And lastly here is the stock image of the dehydrator we got from Amazon -
