Q:
How long does it take to do a batch in this?
Answer: Depends on what your dehydrating! Apples 8 hrs, peaches 10 hrs, goat jerky nearly 12 hrs
Answer: depends on what your doing I mostly use for my garden peppers so I have enough to last all winter and I also use on fruit and that depends on the fruit kiwis take about three hours on high 1/2 apricots about one day just experiment
Answer: 6 to 8 hours depending on the width you cut the meat..make sure you rotate the trays around half way through
Answer: I have cut apple slices thinly and it set it on medium for 7-8 hours.
Answer: Don’t buy it,took 12 hours to do parsley!!!
Answer: I used it once and now it is in the closet. Maybe after hunting season I will take it out to make some jerky
Q:
Where can I get extra trays? Says they are available, but can't find
Q:
how is this for dehydrating chicken feet? My dogs love them and I would like to make them myself
Answer: no idea I just dry herbs and fruit never did any kind of meat
Answer: Omg who would know that? What a crazy question ????. How is it at drawing a cat's eyeball?
Answer: I’ve only used for fruit.
Q:
Does this contain Teflon? I have birds and cannot use Teflon.
Answer: I don’t believe it contains Teflon I believe it is entirely plastic but perhaps ask the manufacturer?
Q:
Does anyone dry pistol brass in this?
Answer: Put your wet brass on a cookie sheet. Set oven for 225°F and bake it for 20 minutes. I'm an armorer. It's what I do at home.
Answer: We gave it as a gift; so, we don’t know.
Answer: No
Q:
Where can i buy the fruit roll up trays for the cuisinart dhr-20 food dehydrator? it only comes with one.
Answer: You might Mary the cuisinart website, I only use mine for herbs.
Q:
How do I get drier banana chips? I did medium for 8 hours and they were just rubbery
Answer: It takes at least 24 hours if not more there is a lot of moisture and it takes a while just check during that time frame for best results
Answer: Dry them on high/medium for 24 hours. Lower the temp one notch and dry for a week. Don’t block too much airflow. I’ve made raisins and jerky rock hard by accident because I dried them too long.
Answer: Throw it away and buy a different dehydrator,worse on I ever owned
Q:
where can i buy extra fruit roll up sheets?
Answer: Not sure, but you might check a Bed, Bath, and Beyond store if you live near one, or a Sporting Goods store such as Cabela's.
Q:
Can I use just one tray at a time or do I insert all the trays & put the only full tray on the top?
Answer: one tray is okay. Use as many as you need for the job at hand.
Answer: One tray dries faster. All the trays take longer. If you have a heavy "water load" in the product, you may want to shift the trays morning or evening (or both). Trial and error for each product you are drying. It's an art, and not quite a science. You will learn quickly which product dries fastest. Enjoy the experience!
Answer: You can use only one! You can use as many or as little as you need
Answer: You can use one tray at a time if you want. They just stack on top of each other. Just fill as many trays with as much as you want and then put the top on.

I want to ship a dehydrator to thailand, will this machine run on 220? or only good to use in usa?
Answer: Sorry, I do not know the answer for this; it may need a converter to work in countries with different electrical output than the United States.
Q:
Do the trays need to be rotated while dehydrating?
Answer: I do not think so. The trays need to be rotated from up to bottom or from bottom to top. The bottom tray dries faster.
Answer: It depends on what you are dehydrating. My DHR-20 came with a "quick reference" for what I'm assuming Cuisinart has determined to be the most commonly dehydrated foods. It brakes it down for you and like I mentioned earlier the rotation cycle depends on what you're dehydrating. Dont over think it though there's honestly no fine science to it and it's darn near impossible to screw up imho.
Answer: no
Q:
is there an inline fuse in the chord of the dehydrator?

Q:
Is it BPA free?
Q:
are the trays metal
Answer: No. They are plastic
Q:
Does it come with a recipe book?

Q:
Can you get extra trays?
Answer: My apologies, but I do not know if one can buy extra trays, but if you can, you have to find out just how many you can use at one time in order to dry your food items evenly and thoroughly.
Q:

Product reviews of Cuisinart DHR-20 Food Dehydrator, Steel Gray, 13.38 x 15.63 x 12 inches
Amazon Customer : Great buy!
I originally ordered this dehydrator because it's the same kind my aunt and uncle have. The moved away and I wanted to try to make my own deer jerky so I asked them for the recipe and what they used. This dehydrator is so easy to use. The jerky comes out perfect. You do need to rotate the trays once or twice so it's all even.
Steve H. : Great product
Oh I love it , your jerky gets done in about 4 hours if the meat is really thin.
Amazon Customer : Great product.
Love this, bought two. Did apricots and plums. It's a workhorse, and I had both running almost 24/7 during our harvest time.
Thinh B. : Not a quality product.
It stops working today. It is not even 2 years since I bought it.
Dr.Carl : Five Stars
as advertised. quiet and effecient
Alex C. Hein : Easy to use
Works great
Kathryn Diamond : This is a solid appliance.
This appliance really works great. I have used it and love how it dehydrated the food and in the amount of time that it said. I would buy it again.
Jason Stark : Simple. Easy.
Simple, easy and perfect size for occasional use.
MAS : We like Cuisinart but ...
We needed a new dehydrator and have always been satisfied with Cuisinart. On the plus side, the design is compact and easy to place on a countertop. On the negative side, this dehydrator is asymmetric and trays have to line up to a groove to fit. They don't line up easily and you can't rotate them. Not user friendly when compared to basic round trays. The trays are also very shallow. An apricot cut in half won't fit and a peach would need to be sliced. Simply not practical since we dry a large portion of our crop.
alan ortega : Well worth it
Works great with meats ,banana chips anything you could imagine betterif the meat is very thin slices
Eric C. : Makes Great Beef Jerky
i bought this for my aunt to make me beef jerky and dried pineapple for when I hiked the John Muir Trail in 2016. Since then she has been using this to make me batches while I continued to travel and now that I am home I bought myself one to keep making beef jerky, which I've found making your own jerky is better than anything you can get store-bought, especially with the right marinade recipe :)
Thinh B. : Not a quality product.
It stops working today. It is not even 2 years since I bought it.
Sassy M. : A little disappointed in this
I chose this dehydrator because (1) it was an "Amazon's choice" item, (2) the Cuisinart name, which is associated with quality products, (3) the price was right, (4) I thought it would be a good entry-level dehydrator since I'm new at it, (5) it has variable speeds and a fan-only setting, and (6) it had fairly decent reviews.
Well, first off, the plastic trays have fairly large holes. I thought I'd start with veggies, but half the corn fell right through the air holes down to the bottom. Mesh-bottom trays would work much better. Then the trays are stacked so close together, only short things fit, it wouldn't even fit some of the Brussel sprouts without having to cut them in half. And the motor is much louder than I had expected.
I kind of wish I'd saved my money and spent a little more on the Excalibur, since that's the brand that is most highly recommended. Hopefully with all its shortcomings, this will at least do the job it's meant to do.

barb mc : awful
it took me 12 hours to dehydrate parsley!!!
Lelia : good for jerkey
overall very good
Steve Hartwig : Great Intro to Food Drying
This is my first food dryer and I'm very pleased. I would recommend it to anyone else interested. I don't have a reference point so I can't make a comparison. My first experiment with beef jerky was a success. Operation is a no-brainer. Super easy to monitor progress. Open design vents some delicious smells throughout the house while you're drying.
69 wanna B : Five Stars
works as advertised
Troy : Beef jerky
Love it
Vickie Stephens : Great purchase
1st time to use a dehydrater. Very to use and jerky turned out great. Kids loved it
Sue Bednarzyk : Nice product.
I had a dehydrator years ago but this one has more than just an on/off switch. I use It for mushroom sliced and they dried within hours. It’s a little loud but dries so fast is worth it. Mushrooms were nice and crisp not tough.
Payton : Makes good jerky cleans easy
Only use it for jerky and it works perfect! Easy to clean also.
Cherie : Love this! Snacks like dried apples are easy and done in about 8 hours!
Love this! Easy to clean and in the first week, I have done apples and stevia. I am hooked on this product!

Works as said
Shirley Rubino : He likes this one so much better. The Cuisinart is a better made one also ...
I bought this for my husband as a replacement for the one that broke. He likes this one so much better. The Cuisinart is a better made one also works faster than the old one.
CCrow : Does a good job
Easy to use, portable, battery lasts a long time.
Ccrgrl : Great dehydrater but....
I would give it 5 stars, but I dry smudge sticks and need more space so I had to cut the bottoms out of a couple trays because there are none available.
Jason Stark : Simple. Easy.
Simple, easy and perfect size for occasional use.
Granite Girl : Works great!
I just purchased my second of this dehydrator. The first one burned out after three years moderate use. It has a good 5 year warranty which I voided by trying to fix it myself. Don't do that ...just call the company first. It works great no bells and whistles but very affordable. I use it for drying mushrooms, fruit, spinach, backpacking meals. It loses a star for only including one fruit roll up tray insert. I bought a couple food grade ones from Bass Pro shop and cut them down to fit the tray.
wmmgreen : As expected.
Works well
Vickie Stephens : Great purchase

Georgie Libbie : Love It!
Really, really love this machine! I’ve been drying herbs, and it’s so quick and easy! I’m looking forward to experimenting with other foods! I also like that the compartments are clear so you can see what is going on inside. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a dehydrator.
Ji B Kim : It's a good dehydrator
It's affordable dehydrator without too many options~ low, medium, high~ I've been making dog treat twice per week and I am satisfied with it.
Thinh B. : Not a quality product.
It stops working today. It is not even 2 years since I bought it.
Renee Evans : Five Stars
Love it works great.
Den : I recommend this machine
I’ve used this machine almost every week for the past couple months. Makes great beef jerky. My daughter makes mango. I guess if you were drying food in your bedroom it would be a little loud. I turn it on and leave it overnight and it’s never bothered me. The base is a little difficult to clean which is why I gave it 4 stars. I recommend it and would buy it again. Great deal!
Amazon Customer : Great buy!

Shane : Works great! Just lacking in one area...
Does not dehydrate my nuts
Steve H. : Great product
Oh I love it , your jerky gets done in about 4 hours if the meat is really thin.
Dr. J. Jerome Holton : I won’t buy another brand!
This is the second one I bought. My first is in storage and still going strong. I bought this one because my dad wanted a good one. So I recommended the same one I own. Can’t beat it!
