Nesco Gardenmaster Digital Food Dehydrator

Yes, the unit is designed to be modular and can be expanded up to 20 trays. The patented Converga-Flow system forces air horizontally across each tray, which ensures consistent drying even when the unit is fully stacked.

The digital thermostat allows you to set precise temperatures between 95 and 155 degrees Fahrenheit. This is essential for delicate items like herbs that require low heat, as well as meats that need higher temperatures for safe jerky preparation.

Yes, the trays are dishwasher safe, making cleanup much easier after a long drying cycle. However, we recommend placing them on the top rack to maintain the integrity of the BPA-free plastic over time.

You can set the timer for up to 48 hours in 30-minute increments. Once the time elapses, the unit automatically shuts off, which prevents over-drying and provides peace of mind if you need to leave the house while the machine is running.

The Converga-Flow system is specifically engineered to prevent flavor mixing. Because the heated air is forced horizontally across each individual tray and then converges in the center, odors and flavors are contained rather than circulated between layers.

The maximum temperature is 155 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the standard recommended temperature for safely dehydrating meats to make jerky.
