The Tribest Sedona dehydrator looks very much like the Excalibur dehydrators. But looking closer there are many differences:

• all dehydrator controls are located at the top front and all buttons are digital: on/off switch, 99h timer, thermostat from 30 to 68°C (perfect for raw food)
• the door is clear so it's easy to check the drying fruits inside. The door is fixed to the cage and open like a conventional oven (useful compared to Excalibur dehydrator door)
• this Sedona dehydrator has 9 rectangular trays slightly smaller than the Excalibur trays
• the major difference is the 2 fans that produce a horizontal drying and allows drying in two separate compartments. These 2 fans are controlled individually, which allows you to only dry food in the top compartment for energy saving or to have 2 different temperatures in the 2 compartments

Currently, in Europe this dryer is only available for purchase on the online store Keimling for 399€ free shipping included. This model is also in North America.

Dried rhubarb fruit leather

Rhubarb is not really used in your all day cooking but don't forget this nice and acid flavour fruit. We tried to do dried rhubarb and rhubarb fruit leather. Dried rhubarb pieces don't really taste good: they are too hard and have no more flavour but they look nice. On the other hand rhubarb fruit leather gives an unique and tangy taste that will please many.

Check out the dried rhubarb section for more information and pictures.
