In many respects, it’s superior to the Nesco since it is constructed with stainless steel, which is always a winner. The Cosori Premium Dehydrator is my most recent dehydrator purchase. Then expand by buying additional trays, fruit leather sheets, and mesh screens. I recommend starting with the basic system that comes with 5 trays. I love it because it’s very reasonably priced, and is expandable up to 12 trays. I actually have two of them! If I was only going to buy one dehydrator and was on a strict budget, this would be it. The Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator was my first dehydrator, and still one of my favorites. Please know that these are the tools that I recommend and believe in 100%!

The oranges are dry, crispy, and easy to break when completely dehydrated. I had to break some of the dehydrated grapefruit slices to fit them into the jars. Since grapefruits are so large, even though I used wide-mouth jars, I had to break some of the slices into smaller pieces to fit them into the jars.īoth the oranges and grapefruit cracked nicely and easily when completely dry. Three sliced grapefruits yielded a quart of dried grapefruit slices. I think it’s worth it, though, because not only are they more nutritious, they also maintained a vibrant color.įrom the 6 pounds of mandarin oranges, I ended up with 2 half gallon jars or dehydrated orange slices. Naturally, it took longer to dehydrate them at the lower temperature – about 24 hours. To preserve as many nutrients as possible, I set the dehydrators as 110 degrees, even though the recommended fruit setting is 125 degrees. You can also grind the peels to make powder. They also contain pectin, and because of that are more filling than the flesh. I dehydrated all of the parts of the fruit, including the peels. On the bottom of each dehydrator, I used a fruit leather try to catch any juices. Since fruit is sticky due to the high sugar content, I like to dehydrate it on mesh screens rather than putting it directly on the dehydrator trays. I had 6 trays in the Cosori and 10 trays in the Nesco. Since I sliced the oranges pretty thin, and since I didn’t want to overlap them, I needed to pull out both my Cosori and Nesco dehydrators.
