Question from Gigi

Debra, I understand that you have a dehydrator. Which one do you have?

I am looking at the following four models:

How would you rank them in terms of safety?

Also, I plan to use good quality parchment paper such as Beyond Gourmet.

Debra’s Answer

I have the Excalibur 9-Tray with Timer and am very happy with it.

I considered the stainless steel, but it was more expensive and I know enough about plastics to know which are the safest and which to avoid.

Here’s what Excalibur says about their case material:

The tray screen material is NOT polycarbonate. It’s polyprolylene.

I feel satisfied that this is safe at this low temperature. I had to balance this against the possibility of metals leaching from stainless steel or chrome.
