Dehytrayâ„¢ Solar Dehydrator
Let customers speak for us
After approximately 2 days of sunlight I had to finish off apple slices in electric dehydrater. They were delicious. I really like the fact they come with a moisture reader and scraper. Very easy to carry and clean ; a bit pricey.. but less expensive straight from JUA than Amazon. I will slice apples thinner next time for best results… I’m very happy with this purchase. Great way to save on electricity and use the power of the sun. I can’t wait to experiment in the future. Also, very easy to assemble and use .
Arrived in good time after ordering online. Great service. I've yet to try it out but am looking forward to using it soon.
I waited until we'd done a few batches of dried fruit to review this dryer. It is a marvelous, low-tech/high value item. I will see savings on my power bill immediately.
This is a great invention and I hope my purchase supports your on-going work!
I use my Dehytray for my garden veggies. It works well with the variety of greens I grow in my garden (multiple types of kale, chives, parsely, etc as I can cut them and put directly into the solar dehydrator. It works well for drying the many herbs I grow too.
I recommended the Dehytray to my garden buddy friend who I share seeds with and she purchased one and uses it for her garden bounty too.
This summer I intend to try using it for my garden tomatoes & peppers in addition to my variety of greens and herbs.
I didn't take any photos but I will this summer to upload so folks can see this ultra cool solar dehydrator .
I love the idea of this product and the execution was great. There are so many things you make. Try drying flowers! I also love the mission of this company so I feel good about my purchase.
Summer 2021 was enjoyable because of my new Dehytray. I was able to quickly dry drumstick leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, and fruits like strawberries, banana, apple, and vegetables like beans. I powdered the dry leaves and use them in my daily cooking. Tip: Drumstick leaf powder gives immunity. As for the dried fruits, I add them to my cereal bowl. I am constantly thinking of new things to dry so that they are always available to me in my kitchen.
I really had fun!!! :)
