Questions about Excalibur D500SHD Electric Food Dehydrator, 5-Tray, Silver (Discontinued

Is the interior also stainless steel or plastic?

Answer: Plastic Polycarbonate material.

Answer: The inner sidewall channels that the stainless trays slide into, are plastic, but the food does not touch them while they are on the stainless trays. The top inner wall liner inside is plastic, and the bottom inner wall liner is also plastic. The door is all stainless, and does not have a liner. The large inner airflow screen inside the back that protects the heat element, thermostadt, and fan, is metal, and I assume is stainless also.

Answer: Yes, I believe it is stainless steel.

Happy customer : dehydrator

I really want to save money by dehydrating apples and such for healthy snacks and preserving produce when it comes on sale .

SmithFam : Excalibur dehydrators are the best!

I have never owned an Excalibur dehydrator because I have I have a Nesco American Harvester which is a work horse but I cannot do yogurt with it. I have children with a lot of different allergies and I struggle making yogurt! Everyone that I know that has an Excalibur loves them and they can do so many different things! So, the first thing that I would make is yogurt!

Heather Bee : Dried herbs

I would love to try this dehydrator! It seems more heavy-duty than the plastic one I have. I'd probably try some dried herbs and then apples as I like them for the kids' lunches.
I've not seen this model before, thanks for the link!
