## Description

The NESCO FD-80 Food and Jerky Dehydrator is perfect for making jerky as well as dried herbs, fruits and vegetables. The adjustable temperature control (95°F -160°F) gives you the flexibility to achieve the best results when drying different foods that need varying temperature settings. This dehydrator comes with four (14. 5” x 14. 5”) square trays and expands up to 8 trays so you can dry larger quantities, with no tray rotation needed. Additional Add-A-Trays sold separately. The quiet, powerful Converga-Flow fan forces heated air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray. The air flow then converges in the center for quick, consistent drying that is four times faster than other dehydrators. Sample seasoning and cure is included to get started. The NESCO FD-80 Food and Jerky Dehydrator provides the drying power for dehydrating great jerky and fruit snacks for the active lifestyle.

Review: Reliable and easy to use - I love this dehydrated so much this is my second one plus I’ve gotten them for my adult kids. I have a big commercial dehydrator but this is my go to. The size is very convenient, fits nicely on the counter. I use it to dehydrate vegetables and fresh herbs that I am not using fresh. No waste and I can still have that fresh flavor.
Review: A Cost-Effective, Logical Choice - I selected this item due to solid reviews, and the fact that high-end models tend to have square trays, rather than round. Reviewers observe that the square trays hold more food. I first dried a batch of parsley, rosemary, sage and chives. The herbs dried to my satisfaction in about 26 hours, about two hours longer than specified in the manual. I next dried a batch of spiced apples and pears, dried to my satisfaction in the ten hours called for in the recipe, to a pliable texture. The motor is quiet, and the trays cleaned nicely, with no transfer of flavor from batch to batch. Bear in mind, you may need to purchase accessories to use this product as you intend. It comes with four trays, and one screen (that rests on top of a tray) to hold small items that might fall through the trays, such as herbs. If you wish to dry small herbs (like thyme and chives), you should have one screen per tray. Screens sell for about $8 for two and are reusable. You can add four trays maximum, as this unit will hold eight trays total. If you want to make fruit roll-ups, you will need reusable fruit roll-up accessories. I've already purchased extra screens for herbs, and may purchase two additional trays. Bear in mind that drying is time-consuming, so extra trays will be efficient, so long as you are drying a big batch of items that can be dried at the same temperature. In terms of capacity, with four trays, I dried six apples and two pears that were widely spaced. That produced two pint jars and one half pint jar of dried fruit. Hint for apples--don't core them. Just slice them (preferably with a mandoline) without coring them, but knock out the seeds. The center of your apples will have a star shape. Slice the pears lengthwise--they will be a beautiful, recognizable pear shape. No need to peel the skin from either. This is an affordable, quality product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still going strong after 12 years if use.
*by J***A on January 9, 2025*

I bought this back in 2013 and am still using it in 2025. It's not an everyday sort of thing, but I've been using it on and off since I bought it. It works well, and has made jerkey, fruit leather and dried fruit pretty consistently. Noise level is low, just sounds like a fan in the background. It's easy to use, just lay down the trays, pick a heat setting and plug it in. My only issue is how hard it is to clean. If you make jerkey or anything that is messy, it can get stuck on the grates and it takes forever to scrub off. Sometimes I'd not use it for a while because it was such a pain to clean. But that's my only issue, really. Overall very happy with my purchase.
