BioChef Arizona 8 Tray Steel Food Dehydrator Black

Create healthy, raw and preservative free snacks, treats, jerky, bread alternatives and more from living foods using the BioChef Arizona Food Dehydrator. BioChef's patented EPT™ technology ensures maximum retention of nutrients and enzymes while ensuring food is dried thoroughly and consistently every time. The BioChef Arizona Dehydrators are the first affordable brand of food dehydrators in the world to feature stainless steel trays. Previously only available with high-end and very expensive machines, the Arizona Dehydrators feature this as standard. You can have peace of mind knowing that your food is not in contact with any harmful, BPA leaching materials. The trays are completely dishwasher-safe and stainless steel is non-reactive so can handle acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus without a problem. The outer/inner casing of the dehydrator is made from Polypropylene or PP, widely considered as one of the safest plastics due to its high heat resistance and incredibly strong and durable nature. PP is also completely recyclable.

Retain the maximum amount of living nutrients and enzymes from your food and preserve the nutrition with BioChef's patented Enzyme Protection Technology™. The superior horizontal design draws air in through the back of the unit, where the fan and heating system are located, and is then circulated to the front of the dehydrator ensuring that all trays and both front and back are dried evenly and consistently. Air is vented through the front at the side of the door, keeping a fresh air flowing through the machine at all times. Food is dried more efficiently, and more thoroughly with no "moisture spots" where dangerous mould or bacteria can grow. With the BioChef Arizona's horizontal drying system there is no need to rotate the trays, you can simply set and forget and all trays will be evenly dried, front to back, top to bottom.

A digital timer allows you to set the dehydrator to automatically turn itself off after the selected drying cycle. This means you can set the BioChef Arizona to dehydrate while you are at work, busy or even asleep. Foods will be perfectly dry at the end of the cycle. Plus you can always check on the foods during the cycle through the transparent door. The BioChef Arizona 8 Tray Food Dehydrator features an adjustable thermostat with a temperature range of 35 to 70°C. This means you can set the dehydrator low and slow for maximum retention of living nutrients and enzymes, perfect for raw foodists and living food advocates. The higher temperatures of between 60 to 70°C are required for making things like meat or beef jerky, where you want the temperature nice and high to avoid bacteria growth. The BioChef Arizona Dehydrators will make the most perfectly dried beef jerky without the needs for preservatives, or added sodium.
