Types of food dehydrator

  • Benchtop dehydrators with 6 to 9 trays, for small batches
  • Commercial cabinets with 16 to 60 trays, some split into zones you set separately
  • Biltong cabinets, and dehydrator bundles with biltong racks and hooks

See the full BenchFoods range, and seal what you dry with a vacuum sealer.

What can I dry in a commercial dehydrator?

Fruit, vegetables, herbs, jerky, biltong and pet treats are the common ones. A commercial dehydrator moves warm air over the trays with a fan, so it dries evenly and runs for long hours.

How many trays do I need?

Benchtop models here hold 6 to 9 trays. Commercial cabinets hold 16, 30, 32 or 60 trays. On the BenchFoods cabinets each tray is 40 x 40 cm, so 16 trays give 2.56 square metres of drying space and 60 trays give 9.6.

What temperature does a dehydrator run at?

It depends on the model. The BenchFoods cabinets set from 30C to 90C, or run at room temperature, and the Lassele dryers from 20C to 70C. Each product page lists its range.

What is a multi-zone dehydrator?

A cabinet split into two or three zones, each with its own temperature and timer. You can dry two or three different foods at once without one setting suiting none of them.

Stainless steel or plastic trays?

Most of the commercial dehydrators here are stainless steel, which washes easily and lasts. Some benchtop models use BPA-free plastic trays, which are lighter and cheaper to replace.

Can I make biltong?

Yes. Biltong cabinets hang the meat and move air through it with an extraction fan, and some BenchFoods dehydrators come as bundles with biltong racks and butcher hooks.
