My dehydrator stopped working after 12 years of service...
So i just had to buy a new one pictured with the dog biscuit mix drying..
Every Sunday i throw two chicken carcass and the scraps for the week in a pot to make the mixture you see above and make two big bags of dried dog biscuits.... the dogs love them.. but this Sunday my dehydrator didnt do anything lit up but no sound on heat..
I paid $45 for the first one mail order didnt have the internet and the electrical stores didnt stock them... Today it cost me $170 to replace..
So the dogs are happy they can smell their doggie bikkies drying and i have a dehydrator that works, with more racks and multiple drying settings very cool!

i use my dehydrator every week.
dog biscuits, drying herbs, tomatoes and if lucky enough to get excess fruit, lots of fruit.
i didnt buy the cheapest dryer this time bought the $199 one and haggled down to $170. there is a basic one for $149 available at the stores.. would like to try drying meals like in the camping stores?
