In general, stainless steel has the advantages of corrosion resistance, rust resistance and easy cleaning, and is suitable for parts that come into contact with food;
The metal material has stability and strength and can better serve as a support part for the fuselage structure and heating elements;
Plastic materials are lightweight, easy to install, and have good insulation properties. They are generally used for housings, operating panels, etc.
The differences and advantages of different materials of food dehydrators
Metal Material
• Strong stability: Metal material has good strength and stability, and the machine can withstand certain loads and vibrations during use.
• High temperature resistance: Metal materials can maintain structural stability at higher temperatures and are conducive to the conductive performance of heating elements, further improving the dehydration effect.
Plastic Material
• Lightweight and easy to install: Compared with metal food dehydrators, plastic ones are lighter and easier to transport and install.
• Insulation: Plastic has good insulation properties and can effectively prevent current leakage and electric shock hazards.
Stainless Steel Material
• Corrosion-resistant and anti-rust: Stainless steel can resist the erosion of water vapor, food residues, etc., and also has anti-rust properties. It is not only a high-quality component in contact with food, but also makes the body less likely to rust, keeping the machine beautiful for a long time.
• Easy to clean: The surface of stainless steel is smooth, not easy to absorb dirt, easy to clean and maintain, and more hygienic and clean.

Food Dehydrator
What are the advantages of food dehydrators?
Food dehydrators can preserve the nutrients, color, taste and flavor of food to the greatest extent. Its lower temperature and smooth air circulation reduce spoilage of nutrients in food. It can help you dehydrate a variety of ingredients and easily recreate delicious meals.
Its short cooking time, energy saving and better retention of food nutrients compared to the oven make it the first choice for health enthusiasts.
Food Dehydrator
How food dehydrator works
Food dehydrators work on the principle of gentle drying. Controlled temperatures and slow drying reduce the risk of overcooking or burning, and lower temperatures and smooth air circulation also reduce nutritional spoilage in food. This method maximizes the retention of various food enzymes, vitamins and essential nutrients, and has excellent performance in terms of color, taste and flavor.
Food Dehydrator VS Oven
Food dehydrators and ovens both have the function of drying food. Comparing the differences between the two products mainly starts with cooking time, energy efficiency and space utilization. The following is a detailed comparison:
Advantages:
1.Time: Food dehydrators are faster and have a built-in thermostat that maintains temperature while speeding up the heating process.
2.Cost-Effectiveness: Typically less expensive than an oven.
3.Nutrient retention: Through hot air circulation, the baked food has a natural air-dried taste, retains more vitamins, enzymes and minerals, and has a longer shelf life.
Advantages:
1. Versatility: Ovens have a wider temperature range, allowing families to perform a wider variety of cooking activities. A good oven can replace a fruit dryer for drying certain foods
2. Food taste: The purpose of the oven is to make the food cooked and have a richer taste.
3. Space capacity: Generally, ovens have larger space than dried fruit machines.
Disadvantages:
1.Drying a batch of food takes more time than dehydrating a food dehydrator.
2.Although both types of power supplies are considered, they are not more energy efficient than food dehydrators.
3.Oven dehydration is uneven because maintaining a low temperature consistently in the oven is difficult.
Disadvantages:
1. Dehydrated foods cannot completely reduce and destroy vitamins A and C in fruits and vegetables.
2. Dehydration does not change the taste of food much and may be an obstacle for people adapting to new tastes.
Drying process of fruit dryer
The process of the food dehydrator is mainly divided into 6 steps.
picking
Pick ripe, plump fruits. Overripe fruits will smell like rotten fruit, so it is better to choose medium-ripe ones.
Cleaning
Use cleaning equipment to remove impurities and dust from the surface of fruits, peel, core and cut.
Pickling
Pickle the cut fruits according to market demand.
Plating
Place the pickled fruit slices or fruit strips evenly on the material tray, and then send them to the drying room for drying.
drying
Drying processing is an important process for fruit drying. The drying process is divided into four stages: preheating, drying, ripening and shrinkage.
packaging
Package the dried fruits in a timely manner to prevent deterioration or moisture resurgence and ensure drying quality.

Choice of metal food dryer and plastic food dehydrator
When choosing the material of a food dehydrator, especially metal or plastic fruit dryers, there are several key aspects to consider. Each material has its advantages and impact on the user experience and the process of drying food.
Advantages:
1. Compact plastic body, lightweight, small size, large capacity
2. The entire body is transparent, making it easy to monitor the dehydration status of food.
3. Energy saving, user-friendly design and easy operation
Advantages:
1. Back fan, 360° full hot air circulation, so that food is heated more evenly
2. Metal inner cavity, no odor when heated, safer and healthier
3. The body is all metal. Solid, durable and easy to clean
Complementary:
1. The size is fixed and cannot be disassembled freely, and there are requirements for storage space.
2. Metal material, heavier and difficult to move
Complementary:
1. The plastic food dehydrator has a smaller range, and barbecued meats tend to stick the spilled grease to the entire plastic tray.
2. Its plastic tray has a shorter service life and will cause its own deformation if used for too long.
How to dry dried fruits without discoloration
Fruits such as purple sweet potatoes, bananas, and cherry tomatoes can also be used as dried fruits. However, the moisture content of different foods is different, and the thickness of cutting will affect the baking time. It should be adjusted according to the actual situation. When baking, you can check the wetness and dryness of food at any time. If you bake a variety of foods together, take out the dried fruits and vegetables at noon and continue baking the rest to reduce discoloration.
Soaking cut fruit slices in salt water, sugar water, or honey water can reduce enzyme activity and prevent it from changing color too quickly after taking it out.
Drop lemon juice or fruit vinegar. Its citric acid and high alkalinity are strong antioxidant ingredients. But it will change the taste of the fruit, so it is more suitable for those who are acidophilic or like the taste of lemon.
Soak in vitamin C water. Vitamin C has antioxidant and reducing functions and can inhibit enzymes. If you put a discolored apple into vitamin C water, the browned part will slowly disappear! The reason why sliced fruits sold in stores can keep their color unchanged all day long is that they are soaked in vitamin C first.
