This site is food preservation information, not professional food safety, medical or legal advice.
Food safety is your responsibility
Drying food at home carries real risk when it is done wrong, particularly with meat, fish, dairy and low acid vegetables. Follow the temperatures and handling steps in USDA guidance and your local food safety authority, and follow your machine's manual.
Where our guidance and a manufacturer or authority differ, follow the authority.
Health
Nothing here is medical or dietary advice. If you are preserving food for someone pregnant, elderly, very young or immune compromised, be more conservative than the general guidance and ask a professional.
Products and prices
Product pages are based on manufacturer documentation, published specifications and owner reports, unless a page states that we used the machine ourselves. Prices are indicative and change often.
Currency figures shown in dollars are converted from euro at a fixed rate and are approximate.
Liability
You use this information at your own risk. DehydratorGuide is not liable for spoiled batches, damaged equipment or illness resulting from the use of this site.
