COSORI Dehydrator: Create Delicious, Healthy Homemade Jerky

M: It works great, doesn't take up too much room and is sturdy. Good for the price. I have used it a lot and have no complaints. Get the silicone or paper liners for it to protect the racks from stains from blue and red berries.

Michael: Short version of my review is that this is NOT for jerky! I had an older dehydrator with on/off switch. It worked fine. But, all of the research I've done on making jerky indicates that for food safety you need to reach an internal meat temperature of 160 degrees in order to kill any harmful bacteria on/in the meat. So, I bought a new dehydrator (this one) specifically for making jerky. All the ad material for this product indicates that this dehydrator will hit 165 degrees. It DOES NOT. I've tested it with three different meat thermometers. On the first test, using two different meat thermometers at once, and with the thermostat set at the maximum of 165, the highest I ever saw on a piece of jerky meat wrapped around the two thermometers, was 140 degrees. And this was after 4 hours so the meat was plenty dry. I've since done the test again with another meat thermometer. With the thermostat set at 145 the highest actual temperature recorded was 120 degrees, and again at the 165 setting it only reached130 degrees. It is possible that on this last test I may have reached 140 degrees if I had waited 4-5 hours for the meat to fully dry out, but then the meat is too dry and basically...

Amazon Kunde: Wie erwartet gut, funktioniert super. Rezeptbuch dazu ist auch prima. Lautstärke ist völlig i.o. Läuft hier auch über Nacht. Einzelnen Etagen sind höhenverstellbar, so dass auch größere Dinge getrocknet werden können

Vincent: Bon modèle, légèrement moins large quand l'ancien modèle. J'espère simplement qu'il sera pas HS comme l'ancien modèle au bout de 2 ans...

Susan Uptegraff: I have dehydrated food for many years. I purchased this one after my 15+ year old dehydrator broke, so I only have that one to compare it to. #1)I do love that you can set the temperature and the time. Game changer there for sure. #2) Trays are easy to wash, though I wish they were a little bit stiffer/stronger feeling. #3) I feel this is a good buy for your money.

Jake M.: I'm new to using a dehydrator, but this thing has been very user-friendly. I've been making tons of jerky, veggie chips, and fruit chips. The recipes included are helpful, but I also find several others online. It's very easy to clean and stores away in a lower cabinet nicely with my crockpot and fryer. I'm addicted to using this. If you're looking for a food dehydrator, this one is great for the price.

Also, I have heard others online say that they need to rotate the trays from top to bottom as they dehydrate food because their other machines do not perform well. That has not been the case with this unit. I have made several batches of meat, fruits, or vegetables, and I have been able to stack the trays once and leave them there for the duration of the process. I have been able to do this with foods that take anywhere from 5 - 20 hours, and this machine has been consistent.

Amazon Kunde: Für mein Gefühl ist das Touchfeld etwas zu empflindlich. Gerade der Übergang von einmal drücken auf gedrückt halten wechselt mir etwas zu schnell. So hat man schnell mal +/- 3/4h eingestellt. Aber ist vielleicht auch nur Gewohnheitl. Oder nichts für Krobmotoriker.
Besonders nervt der Feedback Sound, aber ich muss gestehen, ich war zu faul um nachzuschauen, ob man den einfach aus bekommt.
Seit ich das Gerät habe läuft es quasi Tag und Nacht (12h bei 70°C und 0,40€/KwH kosten übrigens ca 1.03€ Strom)
Ich habe viel eingelegtes Beef Jorky gemacht. Erst habe ich mich gefragt, ob ich das jemals wieder sauber bekomme (besitze keinen Geschirrspüler). Aber einfach mit einem Schwamm abwaschen fertig. Die Gitter sind ideal dafür. Reinugung ist echt einfach.
Die niedrigen Gitter haben mich anfangs irritiert, aber da man die Stücken eh sehr dünn schneidet spielt das keine Rolle. Es passen ca. 900g Fleisch auf das Gerät. Mit besseren Puzzelfähigkeiten vielleicht sogar 1kg. (0,5cm starke scheiben in kleine mundgerechte Stücken geschnitten/entspricht ca einer 1kg Packung Rinderrolladen)
Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass die Temperatur auf 75°C einzustellen geht...

Chris Colt: I am using this food dehydrator for 2 purposes - 1) the same traditional way most people are using it - for dehydrating fruits, veggies, fruit rollups and making jerky - for this unit is excellent, precise (temp & timer - temp checked w/ calibrated 4 temp probes placed on every other tray including top & bottom -very close temp range between each tray) , easy to use/program, a breeze to clean - trays are dishwasher safe - I chose not to expose then to the harsh dishwasher temps/ detergents - they are coated so food releases so easily even the fruit rollups sticky thick liquids come right off w/hot water & a sponge. 2) Audiophile/Videophile - Analog/digital magnetic tape "baking" to fix "Sticky Tape Syndrome". I own many analog tapes (reel to reel, cassettes & video VHS, Betamax etc..) Ampex brand tapes in particular (not only this brand), made between late 60's to early 90's have tape formula problem that allows moisture from humidity to cause the glue binder in the tape to liquify causing tapes to literally come apart while playing in your machine - tape particles stick to heads, capstans etc.. ruining your precious audio, video tapes & potentially causing...
