Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest FD-61 Snackmaster Encore Dehydrator and Jerky Maker
Customer Review: Works great! It's a little bit loud and takes awhile, but I love it because...
Summary: 5 Stars
It makes the healthiest chips you can eat. And the sweet potato chips are to die for!! (Recipe and demonstration in video link posted below) I bought this dehydrator because I am trying to feed my family (and myself)something healthier than processed foods. When I get the munchies I want to eat something crunchy, NOT carrots. Even the natural and organic chips are still loaded with bad stuff (I just learned veggie oils heated to high temps cause them to immediately oxidize and turn rancid.) YIKES! So I have been using ghee, coconut and palm kernel oil instead...coconut and palm kernel oil were previously thought of as bad for us but the MCFA's they contain are actually so beneficial for the body...especially for people with Alzheimer's, Autism or Epilepsy. Anyhow, this dehydrator works really well. I will probably buy more trays for it because as you can see in the video, a lot of raw sweet potatoes turn into very little sweet potato chips.
Cons: It also gives off some heat,the fan is loud and the chips took about 10 hours until they were done, but I am still very happy with my purchase. I recommend buying a mandoline so you can slice veggies very thin...this way it will take less time.Progressive International HGT-11 Folding Mandoline Slicer
I try to video my first attempts using new products so the viewer can see how easy or difficult the first time process really is from start to finish, and what challenges might unfold along the way. In addition, I feel like we are going through the new experience together, which I like. :) If you would like to check out my video and blog review on this product, please search on youtube: "Joys Wellness Trip: Recipe: Sweet potato chips in the dehydrator"
