Isn't that sort of "cooking" the food????? is it really raw????Originally Posted by jenna
i have the 4-tray excalibur. i'd definitely get a 9-tray instead.
i've made crackers, cookies, crepes, chips, stuffing, warmed up pasta and other foods. i've made pizza, wraps, guacamole stuffed portobello mushrooms, pesto stuffed mushrooms, coconut macaroons, brownies.
lots and lots.
I guess it could seem like cooking because with the more indepth recipes there's a lot of preparation. Some of the more indepth ones take a while in the dehydrator and have many steps (i.e. strawberry crepes). It all stays well below the cooking temperature, though. I've never put the dehydrator above 115.

Be careful if you want your food to be raw. I borrowed my sister's old dehydrator (she's had it for years and never used it) that has just a cord, no switches, no settings. I found out that the operating temp is 145F. That's too high for raw foods; it'll cook it. It works well for meat-eaters' foods like jerky & such, but not for veggies and fruits.
