Whether using a stacking-tray style of home dehydrator or a cabinet-style with removable trays and a closing door, all dehydrators use a light flow of hot air to slowly and gently remove the moisture from raw foods. This process makes it easier to store foods longer and helps lock in the food's nutritional content and healthy enzymes better than many other preservation methods.

A great choice for campers, backpackers, hunters, and other outdoorsmen, food dehydrators make it easy to make large amounts of lightweight, healthy, and easy-to-store snacks that are easy to bring along in a backpack or hunting pack.

Much more than just a great cooking solution for homemade jerky, food dehydrators make it easy to make lots of homemade treats from a variety of healthy food sources. Dried fruit chips or chunks, veggie chips, or fruit leather provide a healthier alternative to store-bought potato chips and other processed snacks. Dehydrated vegetables provide a great source for vegetable soups and dishes that do not require as much storage space or refrigeration. Dried herbs allow you to store your homegrown seasonings for long periods of time for seasoning solutions in between growing seasons.

These handy tools can do even more with a little imagination. From dried flowers for home décor to cake decorations, to papier mache decorations and other crafting creations, a home food dehydrator offers lots of uses without a lot of work or a lot of cost.

You will find many different styles and sizes of food dehydrators at Bass Pro Shops to match your needs, helping you create lots of great snacks and more for friends and family.
