Looks very similar to this
http://www2.westfalia.net/shops/household/kitchen/cooking_desiccating_grilling/desiccating_appliances/289502-food_dehydrator.htm

The description text is curiously similar...except the price :wink:

Not sure how good either of them are though as I don't use one. :smile:

Im worried as it looks like there no temp control and im gonna use it to dry a load of shroomz! (already ordered it)

will full temp be ok? i think it has different settings for different fruits, maybe if i put it on flower setting, that must be the lowest!?

i will fan dry for as long as possible (which never gets them cracker dry) then finish off in the dehydrator. i will then put all the shroomz in a baggie, inside a baggie with some desiccant.

I presume they dont HAVE to be vacuum sealed top keep for a year+, would putting in the fridge help?

desiccant sucks!! People are finnaly listening to me and using a food dehydrator. I have been on the mission to prove the it is okay, faster, cleaner to use the dehydrators for almost 10 years and now people are catching on.

Full heat is fine. You will not notice a difference.
if you are big dealing the heat thing than you can open it up and clip the heating element.

Doubtful,the fridge is actually a pretty damp place and would do more harm than good

Once they are CRACKER DRY they can be kept for a very long time even at room temp when double bagged and in something full of desiccant

the heating elements are usually seperate from the fans. It should be a round coil element, just clip it. Do not do this while its plugged in

Isit worth cutting the heating element off? Especially ifits just making it faster to dry and not losing potency?

The heating element will speed drying. Cutting it and it basically becomes a fan but its better than fan drying because it is concealed.
As for cutting the heating element and potency I do not know why this is realevent.

I get them cracker dry, grind them into a fine powder (destroying the cellular structure), then into a glass parfait type jar with a silica gel bag in there and then into a dark cold place.

I prefer grinding them up so when in storage it is very diffucult for anyone to visually identify exactly what that pepper like powder is.

Until someone mistakes it for file, and adds it to your gumbo.
